2 things:
1) I am woefully behind on the next OSP but hope to get to it soon.
2) Got to tell Tini Howard how much I appreciated how she wrote Pete last night, and that felt good. Never be afraid to tell a creator what their work means to you!

Something to get excited about: Tomorrow the CXFamily shares our DC KO brackets. Who will win? Who put all their money on Guy Gardner? Who will wipe out in the first round?

Curious if #AgeOfRevelation is a Days of Future Past, an Age of Apocalypse, a House of M, or something else?

Wondering where all the pseudo-biblical titles came from?

Unsure who's good and who's bad?
