things could be getting better!!!

Hi, all,

If you haven't checked out the comic book, X-Factor, please do. Originally, I employed the characters Rictor and Shatterstar as Marvel characters who were heading toward a gay relationship in the nineties -- a real, honest, developed relationship.

And guess what! They're back! As a couple! They made out for two issues even.

Maybe writers like Gail Simone, Judd Winnick, and in this case, Peter David, there are great leaps and bounds being made.

Or at the very least, it looks like Marvel is acknowledging that fans want to see this male couple together!

So let's strike them from the original list I wrote.

HOORAY FOR X-FACTOR, for Rictor and Shatterstar... hopefully they can even turn some people on to Thom and Goran in HERO!!!

And thank you from the bottom of my heart for all those responsible.

All my very best,

Perry
