Well, having read TFQ’s prologue I went back and re-read the entire Original Quest, which was kind of fascinating, really. And since I’m going to talk about the entire OQ I’ll just put this behind a cut and spare the uninterested. :)

Recent Reads: ElfQuest: The Final Quest: Issue 1
I don’t promise I won’t do one of these for every issue, so you should probably be glad that it’s not a monthly title.

And I was rewarded…

The sort you don’t mess with. I can’t, of course, remember any details, which makes me wonder once again if one could achieve dream recollection through hypnosis… We arrived safely in America, after the excitement of discovering, the night before we left, that my US passport had expired five…
