Matt didn't know what he would ever do if the island stopped turning into a random winter wonderland each year.

Not because he liked snow -- he'd had enough of that in Jersey, thanks, and it was kind of refreshing to not need to worry about ever being cold for most of the year -- or because he was a particularly festive kind of guy ( Read more... )

As it turns out, one of the few things this island doesn't have is a pair of knitting needles and some yarn Britta can use, but she has a lot of spare time on her hands, so it's only so long before she puts her ingenuity to the test. None of the Compound cats seem to be in any need of visual aids of any kind, but with the snow coming down, Britta ( Read more... )

At some point within the past day, Dr. Moira MacTaggert had disappeared from the sandy shores of Tabula Rasa, presumably returning to a world where, once again, she'd die in her quest for the Legacy Virus' cure. She'd been the closest thing Jamie Madrox had had to a mother since his own had died when he was just a teenager -- a fierce, but kind ( Read more... )

Veronica Mars had faced more than a few strange or - sometimes and - strenuous things in her time.
