My local comics dealer said that #6 came in, sold out, and he's waiting for
more issues from the distributor.

However, said dealer gets confused easily, poor dear.

Yes, they did, which leads me to believe that it's part of PAD's long-range
story plans.  I think that "Mr. Savagery" was definitely leaking out during
the conclusion of #400...

...anyone happen to remember T&M's convention comments about the meeting
between the two Dirks? The comment they made was that this would "tell us
lot about what makes Dirk tick.

So, did it? Did anyone get a better picture of why Dirk became a "disk-licker"
and support the Dominion-backed Earthgov? Did any of his inner motivations
come to life from the meeting?

If so, then pretend you're whipping up a scorecard and let the rest of us
know what exactly transpired, save for another T&M loose end.

                                                        OM

I don't believe this. I think that had the Hulk not interfered, given
the emotional scene with the Leader the page before, that Marlo could
have come back. 
How about this, instead? Rick Jones believed that the Leader, without
interference from the Hulk, could have brought Marlo back. In his
eyes, because of the interference, Marlo is (probably) gone forever.
How is Rick (and when she finds out, Betty) ever going to look at
Bruce in the same way again? (I'll find out next month...)
BTW, PAD, I took a look at Gary Frank's Motormouth. I'm excited and

I would not really call Choi's writing on WildC.A.Ts 
impressive. It seemed to me to be pretty standard. I'm
not an Image basher or anything but it was really
just run of the mill superhero stuff. The art was 
quite nice although Jim Lee is going downhill fast. 
His early work on Uncanny was a lot nicer. What he
does now is draw a lot of unneeded lines over people's
bodies and especially close ups of faces. With the
really good coloring techniques and the really good
paper quality these lines are not needed. I think they
are intended to add depth to the art but the rendering
does that. Still the art is nice. I just wish Jim would
go back to the days of Uncanny #258. The first few 
pages of that are brilliant.

Another thing, Spawn also has really nice art. The
coloring is again brilliant. The problem is that the
story is so bloody slow. I could handle McFarlane's
writing on Spiderman but I actually think he has
gone downhill with Spawn writing wise.

I think it was just put on hold because Portacio
wanted to work on his own stuff. It's a pity because
a Claremont\Portacio collaboration would be very
nice.

Bad example. Dream's words were, "...Tyburn Tree haunts your

there.... Every night, from now until then, you will dance on air

This wasn't a prediction. This was a *curse*. Morpheus cursed

Five?? I took a risk and used the fingers of *both* hands to count SEVEN

quarterly with well-written stories. But instead they put Lobdell on as
writer, which guarantees a pile of rubbish.

	Also, if that person isn't J'onn J'onzz...then I feel he should

Arrg,
   It seems most of the fictional characters I like are dying off. In comics,
Superman, Starman, and the planet Earth itself (I know it's not a fictional
character, but I'm a bit fond of it) bite the dust. In books the same seems to
be happening. I don't want to give too much away, but if any Douglass Adams
fans out there haven't read Mostly Harmless be warned, it's good, but the end
is a real downer. I don't mind killing of the occasional main character in
stories every now and again, but this is a bit much. Being on of my favorite
fictional characters is almost as dangerous to that character's continued
existance as being a friend of Angela Lansbery on _Murder She Wrote_. Oh well,
at least nobody has died recently on Star Trek. I must apologize for venting my
spleen like that, as long as the REAL people I like don't start dying off, I
should try to keep my spleen to myself.

There are two instances in the ElfQuest (two obvious ones, at least) Graphic
Novels that I'm wondering if are fallic or not... actually, one Obviously is a
joke which is very obviously fallic, and the other, well... for you to judge.

The first is Skywise's joke in Picknose's hut right after Picknose's statement
that he 'Holds the Hammer' in the Household... Skywise turns to Grandma (sorry,
can't remember her name at the moment) and says 'Picknose may hold the hammer,
but Oddbit sure holds the Handle' (or something like such).

Well, that one is pretty obviously about how the female holds Picknose by his
b***s, right...

The second one, which I'm not so sure about is in Siege at Blue Mountain and
deals more with who 'Holds the Handle' in Recognition.

To break Petalwing's cage, Dewshine uses the statue of Tyldak.  In the scene
where she actually breaks the cage, and Tyldak runs in on her, the statue looks
like a ****.

My question is this... does it?

(No, I'm not just looking for things in the book, I just happened to notice
this and was wondering if anyone else noticed the same thing)

Not 'terrible', but pressures, yes.  There doesn't seem to have been
any particular crisis, but we've been getting many hints that he was
approaching a personal crisis of no longer being satisfied with
himself or his 'life'.  His capture seems to have catalyzed his change
to a kinder and gentler Sandman, and one of the main questions, at
this point in the series, is whether or not he will choose to keep
the position.
