I was thinking back to your late-80s Avengers run on the two titles, and how they seem to have very distinct identities. The main title seemed very plot-driven, even to the degree of there not being a set Avengers team. Meanwhile, the West Coast title seemed very character-driven, especially with everything that happened around Wanda. Was this distinction between plot-driven and character-driven intentional, and was it important to have thetwo titles have a different feel? I have a very soft spot for that WCA-run. The reunion between Magneto and his kids is one of my fav Marvel-moments, because I feel all three of them had gotten derailed in the previous years to different degrees. Quicksilver especially had been either mishandled or in limbo for close to 20 years at that point. In fact, all the stories in the 70s and 80s that seemed to treat him with dignity had one thing in common: your name in the credits. So, I wanted to ask if you had a special affection for Pietro and Wanda, or was it just a case of being a professional? While at it, I thought I’d also ask about Tigra. I’m not sure if you've ever shared your opinion on her on this board. Did you have any affinity for that character, since she was one of the first you worked on for Marvel? Or was she just carried over to your WCA-team from the previous run?
