Good letter. I haven't been paying all that much attention to the comics, mainly because I find the medium way too slow for the characters I know and love in live-action mode, but also because they don't seem to be developing from S7 in ways I find interesting - not even a nod to the losses in Chosen, for instance. However, I've seen enough to feel shipper wars are being encouraged, tacitly or not, possibly for sales purposes. It doesn't do a lot to sustain trust, and his reply, while it might be a very good fan-to-fan defence, doesn't read as professionally as one might have wanted. Isn't it just a little ingenuous to suggest all this is astonishing?
