The Death of the Method?
In the past, I've been a proponent of the Banes Method - really, the Save the Cat Method - of story construction and story improvement.
The method became all the rage in film production in Hollywood apparently - and has received some criticism as well, for being ...

There were a few romances in the Uncanny X-Men series from the vanilla romance of Scott Summers and Jean Grey, to the mysterious love story between Havok and Polaris, and the drawn out love triangle between Wolverine and Jean. But the one romance that constantly tortured me with comic covers ...
