“What a beautiful respite a train journey is and a good book, too, and best of all the book on the train, in life and out of it at the same time, before we arrive at Termini and disembark and the book is put down and we must all part and go our separate ways, forever.”

It’s not surprising then that our feline friends figure prominently in some great books, from Russian classics to YA masterpieces to that one book everyone has definitely read.

What a great cover!

Since the issue is finally out I thought it might be safe to do an OFFICIAL post here. Don’t scratch me, Marvel. So here it is! Coming at you in three versions.
