I worked at UGG but usually people who start their own fashion brands have worked with fashion brands and have gone to proper art schools. I was going to school to become a teacher since I always loved kids. I thought fashion would be a hobby and a personal expression. I wasn’t in the fashion industry and I never worked in retail.

In more recent years, Clint Barton has also showcased his leadership (Secret Avengers), and his unexpected ability to carry an all-time great Marvel series (during the Matt Fraction and David Aja Marvel NOW! run). After starting as a confused, petty criminal (teaming with Black Widow will do that to a guy), Hawkeye progressed from angry anti-authority Avenger, to regular member of the team, to ultimately leading his own crew out on the West Coast. One of my favorite aspects of Hawkeye is how the character grows as a hero, and as an Avenger through Marvel history. Hawkguy! Hawkeye was my first favorite Avenger (thank you bonkers 90’s Avengers video game!), and in many ways remains one of the best (and certainly the most fashionable in purple). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Since Summerlea cost him a bride and an heir, Wyn demands one of the king’s beautiful and much-loved daughters as his wife. Wyn is a hard man, and there’s no room for negotiations. Wynter rides into Summerlea, not to negotiate peace, but to inform its ruler just what peace will cost him. Summoning the power of the ice heart, he sets out to bring Summerlea to its knees. When the prince of Summerlea runs away with Wynter’s bride-to-be, killing Wynter’s brother in the process, Wyn knows it’s time for war. He is also fiercely protective of his younger brother. He began to rule when he was just sixteen, and he takes his duties very seriously. Wynter Atrialan is the king of Wintercraig. Fortunately, the story kept me engaged, and the hours flew by. At just over twenty-one hours in length, The Winter King definitely can be called lengthy. There’s nothing better than losing myself in a really long novel, but there’s nothing worse than suffering through until the end if it turns out to be horrible.
