I will say Marrow, and the reason is that she has really interesting relationship dynamics with a lot of X-People, including Colossus and Gambit, which never quite bore out.

My X-MEN QUESTION OF THE DAY: People say all the time there are too many interesting mutants being ignored and we should not be spotlighting new ones. I don’t quite agree but I get the point. What mutant do you feel has been forgotten unfairly?

I just heard Green Day's "American Idiot" on the radio, and I remember how the public was largely head-shaking and tut-tutting "Wow that was uncalled for, we were all having a good apolitical time here in 2004."

The claims that politics in the 2000s was undisguisable from the 90s and that people were checked out of political thinking during the Bush years are INSANE. Full on alt-history sci fi stuff.

Steve Carell almost didn't get to do The Office because of his commitment to this. We almost got Bob Odenkirk as Michael Scott because of it. What a world that would have been

11522. Come to Papa "The Tire Guy" - A short lived summer show from 2004. Get this, it features a stand-up who's never acted before working at a local newspaper. In other words, pretty generic set-up but there's some fun running gags that are mean w/o being cruel. It grew on me. (B+)

Jordan's reflections have got me reflecting. Truth is, I had the biggest audience I've ever had when I was a teenage writer in the 2000s. And I didn't really appreciate or build on it. When I came back to writing consistently about comics in 2017 I was basically nobody. And I still am! But it's fun.

I have been blogging and writing about comic books for 17 years as of yesterday. Of course I was writing about them on Myspace but that is another story. I haven't been consistent most of that time but I have been very active these last 3-4 years. 17 years, that's a lot longer than most can say
