More SDCC 2010 Memories

Kieron Gillen! Notice the issue there on the desk? That's "X-Men: Manifest Destiny" #5, his FIRST ever story written for Marvel. Neither of us wanted to besmirch the issue with fingerprints, hence our awkward hand positions, lol. We chatted a bit and he mentioned that was the very first story he wrote for Marvel. He loved writing Dazzler because she is so much more than a superhero and since she, at times, can be both confident and insecure, it was fun writing her.

I told him I was a huge fan and poster at CBR (ComicBookResources) and he came by the Dazzler thread to say hello to everyone!


Who knew that less than a year later, Kieron Gillen would be the principal writer on Uncanny X-Men!
