Palling her around with Carol actually doesn't help as it emphasizes the Kara/Babs relationship parallels.

Yes I can certainly see that, especially since the redesign only came into play from #5 onwards, which gave it a clunky and thrown-together feeling (which plays into the theory that it was a reaction to BOB's success). I'd still give the series a chance, though. The ANAD Spider-Woman especially is very funny.

Oh and as for Jess/Carol's friendship, that's pretty much been going since Bendis' Avengers days, but became a staple for the two's characters when DeConnick wrote both of them in 2012.

And I don't think they'll ever make a Quicksilver figure in the Legends scale. There was almost nothing released for the character when Age of Ultron came out.

I'm praying that, since they're acknowledging Daniel Acuna's Avengers run with Vision, they'll consider releasing his design of Quicksilver. It's easily his best modern costume to date:




Either that or one of his various classic looks. Anything. Just another Pietro would be grand!
