Especially a woman. There must be all kinds of fantastic opportunities for women in the comics industry, right?
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Buh?

Gosh, and I thought that 'Peter Parker's Clone' was a stupid idea....
