As she left the Oak Park Public Library Jan. 2, Kayleigh Vercnocke, 25, of Oak Park, stopped to answer a few questions for the Oak Leaves.
Q: Last movie you saw?
A: Probably “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” I thought it was very good. Not as good as the first, but, you know.
Q: Are you a comic book fan? Who’s your favorite hero or anti-hero?
A: I am a very big comic book fan. Deadpool is my favorite. … He’s a mercenary who has regenerative powers and who can never die. He has a horrible cancer. He’s pretty sassy. He has something funny to say about pretty much everything.

Q: Any pets?
A: A dog, Payton. She’s an American bulldog/boxer mix. We’ve had her about a year now.
Q: Does she have any quirks?
A: She’s very big, so if she decides, “I’m just going to lie here,” you’re not going to move.
