Healing prayers in Jesus's holy name. I've met Adam Hughes, got a commissioned sketch of Jocasta from the Avengers. Also have one of Yuri from the Dirty Pair. The man is a one man standard of the wonder of sequential art and good girl art. Get well, Mr. Hughes.
Gen 13 is sadly underrated. It could have used a little less 90s angst and a more developed roster of heroes. But it was fun, and very easy on the eyes.
There was something there to be developed beyond 90s cheesecake, but I don't know that the writers or the fans every took it seriously enough for it to become anything more than "Value Brand X-Men."
Even more sadly, the collected editions are paltry at best. To collect a full run, you're stuck with buying floppies. It's the only book I have ever collected that way thanks to most everything else worthwhile getting graphic novels.
It's the storage that gets me. Long boxes are such a pain to manage/sort through and just look like, well, comics long boxes. They live in my attic.
I have wall to wall custom built shelving (by me) and nicely dressed trades like Marvel's Epic Collection or Big Fat Omnibuses look very handsome. Although, Omnibuses are almost as much a PITA to read as floppies. Trades though are a perfect middle ground for readability and presentation.

I'm a floppies bag and board guy, I'm ok with that.
