Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Not knowing anything about X-Men continuity, I thought that the Genoshan massacre occurred when Xavier's psychic twin Cassandra Nova unleased several skyscraper-sized feral Sentinals at Genosha, killing some 16 million mutants. Emma was one of very few survivors, mainly because of the secondary mutation.

Yeah. It was right at the beginning of Grant Morrison's run on "New X-Men." No mystery about it.

Oops, been a while. I read some of the follow up issues in other series, but not the actual issue itself.

Several skyscraper sized feral Sentinels killing 16 million people?

Do you have any idea how long that takes? Hrm, maybe I should hunt down those issues, the logistics of it seem wonky. Then again, it is Grant Morrison...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Bil, we're talking comic book reality here.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

reposted from Natter - CaBil I was told you may have some insight:

I have a friend who has written (and I assume drawn) a graphic novel. Since I know little of these, but figure people here do, I thought I'd ask if anyone has idea or knowledge of what said friend should do to try to get it published. Does he need an agent?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And as I posted in Natter, if he wants to try self-publishing, he can apply for a grant from the Xeric Foundation. It looks like the deadline is July 31st.

I started to answer this back in Natter, but basically no, comics do not require agents.

On the other hand, there are a limited number of publishing venues available. What is the topic/genre of the work?
