Seriously @ that sentiment. Glad you got that moment.
But also there can't be more than, what, a couple hundred people in that country of yrs? I'm surprised you don't all live on the same street.

Second the awww at bg and weirdly enough I have the same feelings about The Invisibles; the part where Edith tells the story of her miscarriage and the flashback frame to it later gets me every time
Ty for Flex Mentallo rec, I’m definitely going to get that. :)

Really the entire narrative of Flex is another of those heart-hitching Mozzer/Quitely moments for me. I reread it every couple of years and it gets me every time.

yeah, flex is v special too - morrison and quitely together have a unique ability to bend readers' minds that neither of them can quite achieve when they're apart

gyac, if you wanna cry your eyes out the morrison/quitely animal-soldiers miniseries we3 will definitely have that effect

(The only non-Quitely GM work I can think of off the top that hits quite the same emotional chord for me is the ending of The Filth when the purpose of all the subsequent depravity and degradation is revealed.)

(This discussion is legit getting me a little misty.
Shut up and leave me alone.)

I actually own we3 but have never read it! But I will!
I also love their work together on New X-Men.

I have given non-comics people NXM to read and they really dig it until Quitely ends his first run.
(I like to think that this is in part because they can perceive just from the artwork in the following arc how big a turd Van Sciver will become in subsequent years.)

i think quitely's work does seem very legible to non-comics-readers in a way that is pretty unusual, so i'm not surprised to hear that, really - probably doesn't help that much of the nxm art post-quitely is pretty ugly and murky iirc
my wife loves superman from the reeve movies but doesn't care about comics much; however, she she did come with me to the quitely exhibition at the kelvingrove museum and ended up being impressed enough to buy a fairly pricey limited print of quitely's superman flying over kelvingrove, which now hangs proudly in our living room

Jealous rn.
Yeah, Quitely is the rare double threat of A+ draftsman and A+ storyteller.

Anyone know an ETA for Jupiter's Legacy v3?
