Looks like next week Guy Gardner and one of the Guardians of the Universe show up to make it even more exciting

"I often feel as if my brain is boiling.

One image suggests another possibility.

One accident creates a new path.

A strange composition, a color choice or an unexpected interpretation can suddenly become the beginning of an entirely new world." - @aran_leigh

Even with all the cool creator stuff I see on X - the real bread is coming from F500!
