I share this in a simple attempt that by giving it to other people its less something just I heard. So, overheard in a comic store last night (I had forgotten to order a copy of The Boys):
Person 1: "If I ever get to write X-men I the first thing I will do is bring back Jean Grey. And if an editor says no I will punch him in the face"
Person 2: "Yeah and she should have red and white streaked hair"
If I ever wrote X-Men, the first thing I would do is punch the editor in the face. Then, having been fired from Marvel, I would carry on my merry way with a really neat story to tell.
