    Poker Night at Ben's! In this climate of social distancing, who doesn’t miss large get togethers with friends to chill, play cards and have fun with each other?

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Ordinary and normal ain't always what it's cracked up to be.

    Then, my ordinary cover, :


    “Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe

    If you were walking through the park and saw two people you didn't know sitting on a park bench feeding the pigeons it would seem perfectly normal. About as much as it can be seeing that one of them has skin that looks like stone.

    It's the scene that matters, some leeway has to be given to those within it considering that we are dealing with Comic Book characters.

    I miss going to concerts and shows. The only social thing I really enjoyed.

    I'm going to suggest an additional criteria. Think of it in terms of your own life, in terms of something that you might see, or experience, or enjoy doing, or just anything that is normal, common, ordinary. Think in terms of life after COVID.

    For example, the cover I posted evoked the image of walking through a park and seeing other people also enjoying the park on a nice day. No masks or social distancing.
