 This was such a wild and intense ride. 
 I really enjoyed reading it, even if it has its flaws. But the story is a first edition pre-publication. Delivering high quality writing so reliably is remarkable. 
 I lived it from beginning 'til the end and never considered stopping.

 This comment by (view spoiler)[ Loki: "The babies, viruses and gods, thing makes me fear that superpowers might just be part of some vast beings lifecycle and that when a critical mass of capes is reached the metamorphosis begins incidentally killing most of the human population in the process. The Endbringers are just some sort of antibodies trying to prevent the end of the world or maybe hasten it." This comment was made in 11.6! (hide spoiler)] 
 I am re-reading Worm for the third time. It is still really awesome the third time around. (view spoiler)[ The timeskip is still as jarring. A thought: Contessa is Skitter on steroids. Look at the Lung fight - Skitter always goes for the win, being as direct and as ruthless as possible. (hide spoiler)]
