I'm watching the HE sign-ups and getting more and more excited! I hope there'll be lots of people and everyone will have fun. (If you're hesitating: do it do it).

I'm reading the Avengers 2010-2012 arc, and I LOVE the little fan theory summaries of the history of the Avengers, ahem, I mean interviews and histories posted at the end of every comic.

I know he's supposed to be a really nice guy and great human being, but I tried to read the comics that were illustrated by Liefeld, and I couldn't get past the ugliness of the art. (I mean, yes, I know, it's super-popular to hate Liefeld, and I actually didn't mind him in the nineties, but... I dunno. I am a bad fangirl and a fake geek, I guess. Sigh.) Please tell me there's a Deviant Art meme/ challenge somewhere where every artist redraws a page of his work the way it OUGHT to be done...

Annnd my two paragraphs are united by gratitude that I don't have to slog through issues and issues of broken spines and bound feet to get the history of the Avengers.

And yeah, I know a LOT of people like Liefeld's art, it's just I can't unsee what I see as the flaws. If you can look past them and enjoy his dynamic presence and witty composition, you are a better person than I--- don't let me yuk your yum!
