FAREWELL STAN LEE
I read so many tributes to Stan Lee that I felt quoting you, our Illusive community, was the best way to say Farewell...

"Marvel Studios, Disney, even DC have all chimed in today, as have several of you, to talk about this man’s impact on your lives. It cannot be overstated. It simply cannot. There aren’t enough platitudes for this man." ~ Neil Switzer

"A long lived fruitful life that inspired countless people to write, draw, imagine, and even to survive. Myself included. Stan helped to create a modern mythology of Gods and Monsters no one will ever forget and shall be experienced and enjoyed by generations to come." ~ Michael Bush

"Stan Lee helped create a world that meant and still means everything to me. From these characters, I learned how to treat others, how to deal with being bullied, how to make jokes and developed a love of writing and drawing in myself. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you, so thank you." ~Rob Van Brunt

Agent 007 tracks a smuggler into Singapore to secure a dangerous case, contents unknown. But a Korean mystery man wants the case as well, for very different reasons.

The nation is in the grip of a terrible pandemic. The so-called Empty Man disease causes insanity and violence. Government quarantines are mandatory. One of the afflicted is Melissa Kerry, and the next step should be to quarantine her-but those who enter quarantine are never seen again. Melissa's family won't let that happen.
