Strix is likely a new character.

The stones could be referred to as gems once they're polished and set in the gauntlet.

Peter David had been pointing it out since Encounter at Farpoint.

Lands art sometimes draws me out of it, but Fake Odin Banner vs. Old Thing should be fun. Wonder ifany of X-Factor will pop up.

It was basically re-canceled for a while there. The #3 they originally solicited was another Lashley issue about Strix's origin, which I still hope they get around to.

UNHOOOLY ACTIIIING TAAAAALENTTTT!

I dunno… I ain't never hoida no mayor..

Stevenson's new Runaways book is selling like crazy, and I had 0 expectations from it since we got burned by so many other post Vaughn and Alphona runs.

A sobering lesson to anyone who thinks an internet community could be anything approaching civil in person.
I say we nuke the next A.V. club festival from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

But that's not important right now.
