And since he is the generous person that he is, he’s giving one lucky Major Spoilerite a chance to take Amanda’s art home. Which brings us to the MS-QOTD, “What character, or property, would you like to see Amanda Conner take over on an ongoing basis, and why?” You’ve got until May 07, 2012 to share your answer, at which point, we’ll pick our best answer to receive the prize. GO!
