Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last 6-7 months, you know that Warren Ellis has dropped some genius across the industry with not 1, not 2, but 3 different books, which the NBC crew have followed faithfully. Joined by superb artistic talent such as Declan Shelvey, Tula Lotay, and Jason Howard; these books have set benchmarks for 2014 in terms of both writing and art. Let’s look at 10 quotes from those books that tickled the NBC Crew’s fancies…

“Who the hell are you supposed to be?”
“Black, Black Spectre…”
“Let me tell you a thing about Black Spectre, he really just wanted to be loved. He wanted his dad and his wife to love him. Wanted his crew to love him. Wanted his city to love him. I don’t know you. Let me tell you a thing about me, people who love me suffer and die. I never want to be loved; that’s why I always win.”-Moon Knight #6

“The Universe is a massive sheet of processing paper and it can be written on, drawn on.

“Yesterday was the best day of my life and I desperately want there to be more like that. With you. And it wasn’t just the sex, or the party last night. It’s the way you know who you are. The way you move through the world. I know nothing about you except that I want to move through the world with you as long as you’ll let me.”-Trees #6
