Berger is a genuine comics legend, and while editing one book is just a smallish thing, just having her back on deck feels right somehow. It's worth noting that SURGEON X, the book she's editing, written by Sara Kenney, is funded by a grant from Society Award from Wellcome Trust; perhaps the charitable nature of the project helped lure her to the Image Expo stage.
