Why this must be read:
I’m really, really into the eventual obliteration of society as we know it. As I’m sure y’all are too. Wallace spins the vaguely disturbing tale of a post-plague, restructured world. Most of the earth's heroes have succumbed to the virus and those who remain sure aren’t having a lot of fun. It's a hell of a good time for us, though, finding out who survived, how they did it and what they're doing now. If for nothing else, Broken Blade should be read for the bizarro-world version of Betsy Braddock (who I think was dead in Marvel continuity when this was written.) She's a much more interesting Betsy than the one who recently resurfaced in the comics.
I love the smell of post-apocalyptic fic in the morning. Ahhhhh. Breathe deep, y’all.
Washington is the big one. These days Captain America doesn’t give interviews, or make scheduled public appearances. It wouldn’t do to let the press know that the symbol of nonexistent liberty for all North America is five foot three and pronounces ‘about’ ‘aboot’. I find him, though; I always was more agile, and when he gets on to the roof, the terrorists are all neatly handcuffed, and I’m waiting for him, smoking a Marlboro filterless.
