They're not! It's true. I don't know if there are even any Iain/Manny shippers out there, but they're going to be disappointed as long as this running gag has legs. No that is not a challenge.
I think the first panel here came out really well. Actually there's been a rash of good first panels lately. I should probably stop that, or people will come to expect it.
Welcome to Special School.
This is the tale of a government-sanctioned class for super-powered humans, offered as part of the curriculum in a small-town university in upstate New York. The university gets extra funding, the students get course credit and special powers training, the government gets a well-trained, civic-minded generation of super-powered humans with some measure of debt and/or gratitude toward them; everybody's happy. At least, in theory.
