	No, Zot's lightning bolt has only two jags, is pointed at both
ends, and goes sideways rather than up-down. It's not a "Mage" shirt because
the "Mage" shirts are black and white, not red and gold. I agree with 
whoever said it looked like Captain Marvel. (The attribution line says it
was Laura Burchard, but it also looks like several people got deleted,
so it could well be someone else.)

	Incidentally, didn't the Marvel family's costumes have sleeve
decorations similar to the ones on Stanley's blue shirt in the latter
part of the issue? Captain Marvel Jr. had a blue costume.

	Talking of Zot, does anyone know if Scott McCloud used to read
_Hulk_? In the anniversary issue, #393, there was a picture of Doc Samson.
He was wearing a red shirt with a sideways lightning bolt and a square-cut
neckline. It was short sleeved, and the lightning bolt was more complicated,
but that square-cut neckline is such an uncommon costume detail that I
almost have to believe that Scott McCloud saw Doc Samson's original outfit.
He might not have consciously remembered it when he designed Zot's costume...

One possible out here is that the Secret Service vetoed Bush's appearance.
This would have been a security nightmare in terms of just about all world
leaders being present (and there was one attempted assassination stopped
by Batman) as well as a fair portion of Earth's superheroes. Invasion II
could have started quite nicely with a bomb dropped on this group, as
well as any villain out to get them, say a competent Monarch.

Well, it's all been made clear to me now.  I recently received (in the mail)
evidence of why "the lawyer" ("Bernie Capax", since we know that was just
his current cover name) died...

It's a postcard (sent to a company I work for) which says:

"To Collect Your Debts for Less and Save Money", etc., explaining why the
recipient should call the source of the postcard and use their collections
services.

The source is CAPAX CREDIT CONTROL.  I wonder which of Neil Gaiman's friends
they were bothering?

Yeah, yeah, March seems a long ways away, but if I post it now you can 
pester your local shops about them.

The Mighty Magnor #1. Sergio Aragones does superheroes. Should do for
the spandex crowd what Groo did for Swords and Sorcery. Direct market
edition comes with a "pop-up" cover. From Malibu.

The Maxx #1 of 3. Sam Kieth's Image title. I know I should probably
expect this one in July, but Kieth says he *WILL* meet his deadlines.
Sounds like an interesting premise and the initial art is cool. 

Savage Henry #26. Guest starring Dave Brock, lead guitarist for Hawkwind.
For those old enough or strange enough to recognize Hawkwind.

Mad Dog #1. From the BOB TV show. It sounds sorta weak until you see the
credits. Evan Dorkin, Ty Templeton, Gordon Purcell, Ray McCarthy and Jeff
Albrecht. From Marvel comics.

The Sam & Max Show #1. I already mentioned this in the S&M thread. Purcell,
Mignola and Adams. From Marvel.

Ms. Tree Special #10. Well, I still like Ms. Tree.

Kid Eternity and Sebastian O. Two new Vertigo titles. Grant Morrison is doing
Sebastian and Ann (?) Nocenti is doing Kid. Both look kinda cool.

Some not so neat stuff:

She-Hulk #51. First issue after Byrne. Boy, does this look lame.

Death and Taxes: The Real Costs of Living. Does anyone actually buy the 
Parody Press stuff? They really sound awful. I must admit a character named
Taxes is a clever way to get around the potential lawsuit.

Jason Goes to Hell #1. Official adaptation of Friday the 13th IX. I've
been praying that Jason really was dead at the box office. Oh well. From
Topps. Yes, it has trading cards polybagged with the comic.

Miracleman: Apocrypha. Hardcover. Would someone please donate a clue to
the folx at Eclipse. Is there anyone out there who wants to pay $33 for
a 96 page collection of so-so Miracleman stories? (BTW, Eclipse will be
making the cards for Jason Goes to Hell. Perhaps they are getting out of
the comics biz. They certainly don't seem to be wasting their time print-
ing any new comics.)

Of course this fact only shows you how little respect Marvel HAS for
its talents.  Not only did they let Jack's artwork "walk-off" and get
damaged, but many people feel that when Jack approached asking for his
artwork back Marvel's refusal was a cover for admitting that they'd
LOST the artwork.  It was only AFTER Jack signed Marvel's contract
that they admitted that they didn't have all the artwork.

That depends on how do you define loose.  Ellie is a succubus,
"running around loose" on Earth is in her job description.
Triskele and the Devil are looking for her, but I assume the angels

That's why the Cast-Iron Glacier was such a mystery.  ^_^  The joke

novel would have titles like that.

All are heroes.  Dr. Light is the female Japanese scientist, no?

The Muses are demigods of greek mythology.  They
 represent the artistic expressions of ancient 
 Greece.  As "mere" gods, they are subordinate to
 the dreams of those who enjoy grecian art.  When
 people no longer "worship" it, they will return
 to the Dreaming.

Other cultures + other planets may or may not 
 invent Muses, but they're not universal beings.

I have all the issues so far but have only read the first.

I tried it and didn't like it much. I suppose one issue

for new readers to start).

Only read the one storyline, Faces. I really enjoyed this

Yes, this is one of the best comics around, along with Hepacats.
At first I was put off by the anthromorphic look. I soon forgot
about it. Stan Sakai tells short stories so well. His long stories
are also very good. The characterisation is brilliant, as is the
continuity and organisation.
