You have to scroll down a bit, but this piece features what is undoubtedly the Greatest, Most Frightening Story about Comic Book Fans Ever Told, as experienced by writer Mark Waid. I'm still amazed by the whole thing.
The flight--on one of those twin-engine jobs where they discount your ticket if you bring your own helmet--was, despite the tiny cabin, spectacular. Honestly. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky at any point during the trip, and I just stared out the window at the beautiful farmland below. Landed around noon. My hosts were there to pick me up. They were a little younger than I’d figured they were going to be, but at least they were there at the gate like they’d promised they’d be and, besides, I’ve never been very good at picking up on Giant Red Flags.
Read the thing.
And finally (I'm embarrassed that I forgot to mention this earlier), everyone give a shout-out to longtime reader/stalker Sheena Toyat. Or rather, Doctor Sheena Toyat. Yes, the United Kingdom has, against all logic and sense, decided to give her a medical license. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
