I swear to you I never wrote these songs!

[Flightpath07]

Ha! I bet you think that song is about you!

By the way, are you safe from the wildfires in your part of the world?

[Le Messor]

Well, last Friday was the tenth anniversary of the day my state burned down, but I'm mostly okay.

Worst that happened was I had to come back here from the coast, then drive to Sydney, rather than drive straight to Sydney from the coast.

Thanks for asking.

You had me at "well".

Okay, I'm not sure how serious your answer actually was/is, but i heard there was a lot of uncontrolled fire action in Australia (but as i understand that most cities are along the outer edge of your country, I am hoping your area is good-to-go).

Unusually for me, that answer was completely serious; but I'm not in any danger at the moment.

Sam talks about Uncanny X-Force #1 on Kieron Gillen's Decompressed Podcast: http://gillen.cream.org/wordpress_ht...d-sacrifice-4/

There's a little bit about Puck's introduction in the issue around the 40 minute mark and his use in the team at 1hr 5 minutes.

Great interview on both sides. Thanks to Phil and Sam for taking the time. Sadly, I've both moved (meaning there's no LCS around me) and I've lost my job so being able to pick up this series is going to be very difficult for me, but I will definitely make the attempt.

Good luck to the creative team on this title, I hope it's a winner.

[Flightpath07]

Sorry to hear about your misfortune(s), Legerd. Here is hoping you land, up-and-running, on your webbed feet.

[Legerd]

Thanks FP. Hopefully, I'll be able to get something going in the near future.
