Seems like with school back, the County fair over, and the State Fair going on everyone is in Autumn mode. We are looking forward to crisp days with a prefect cozy latte. The Bella Donna combines local maple syrup, butter pecan, and salted caramel drizzle to give you all the Fall feels. Stop in and try this cozy latte today.

Do you remember when Marvel mixed some fantasy tropes into their X-Men books? The New Mutants and the X-Men got all wrapped up with Thor and his fellow Asgardians in a couple of annuals in the late 80's. Arthur Adam's was on art duties and the books were fun and fantastical. Well, do you remember when they decided to go full Ren Faire and incorporate a "Thieves Guild" and an "Assassin's Guild" with the introduction of Gambit? Do you like unionized mayhem? Well, then, Bella Donna is just the girl for you. A mutant Assassin and jilted wife of that wayward lovable scoundrel Gambit, Bella Donna popped up to harass the mutant in his early outings and miniseries in the early 90's. Besides some random, trivial connection between the two eras of X-Men, why bring up the Asgardian connection? No real reason, I just really like Art Adam's work.
