Yeah, Warren Ellis.

And then Mike Carey does an X-Men No More Humans one, and that's basically it.

Yep.

Yep.

I'm sure someone has put it...

Because Mike Carey, who's a great writer, wrote the story, and I bet the story's good.

I've never seen anything from it, particularly apart from a couple of screenshots.

But I think in this case...

But as of right now, he hasn't really worked with her yet.

We can also see on this cover that this is written by Mike Carey with art by Lee Bermejo.

And I was actually surprised by that because Lee Bermejo has a very distinct style of It's usually very realistic and detailed, but this issue must be some early art for him because it just looks like, you know, a different style of Hellblazer art, but it doesn't look like the super detailed, crazy time-consuming art he is known for today.

And as we turn to the first page, we see it is nighttime, and we see part of a sign, and there are words that are cut off because we're zoomed in so much on it, but I believe it says Bedfordshire County St. Peter's Psychiatric Hospital.

We are sensible that we do no justice to the admirable style of the Florentine poet.

But Mr. Carey's translation is not at hand, and our version, however rude, is sufficient to illustrate our meaning.

Once more compare the Lazar House in the eleventh book of the Paradise Lost with the last ward of Malabolge in Dante.

Milton avoids the loathsome details and takes refuge in indistinct but solemn and tremendous imagery.

But like, but yeah, but not like a late era Vertigo book.

Not a, not a Mike Carey era Vertigo book.

I think that it was pretty good.

I don't...

And John has his head tilted a little bit so we can see that he's smoking a cigarette, and he's also reaching over with his left hand and rubbing his right shoulder.

And we can also see on the cover that this issue is written by Mike Carey with art by Jock.

And as we turn to the first page, we see John is running through the streets of London, and he's running with reckless abandon.

He's running into people.

...

in that Mike Carey era, you really are getting, like, Rogue is death.

Rogue is the one who's trying to warn people.

Like, in my fucking universe, in this Age of X universe, it is concentration camps, mutants being murdered.
