Check out this week's "Superman", with Waverider & the Linear Men. 
Supes's last line is something like, "They can bring the dead back to
life".  Hmmm.....

But if they use protomatter, then we know Superman will eventually become
unstable and break down and explode and stuff, and everybody will have to
beam off his surface in the nick of time.

But seriously, folks, all they have to do to bring back Superman really easy
is just have him get killed by the Sarlacc.  That's a sure-fire non-clone
technique for bringing characters back!

	In some ways, it's very good.  In others, it's your standard
fan-boy shlock.

 	First, the good stuff.  It's arguably the most concise tome of
information on back issue prices of comics, figures, cards, etc. updated
on a monthly basis that I've seen.  It's information on other things
is generally good too, EXCEPT....

	It's for the fanboy.  In the past 2-3 months, their cover stories
are have ONLY been about Image/X-Stuff.  At every turn is the constant
talk of "issue #1s!" and "hologram cards!" with that "You need to get
these collector items" attitude that sickens me.  The basic backing
behind Wizard are those 10-12 year olds in the local comics shop who
lament how great Wolverine is and how they're gonna get 12 copies of
Youngblood 2.  If you either agree with this (or enjoy some good
entertainment, as is the case with me), I'd recommend it.

Check out the book _The Fifth Wave_.  This is a sort of computer oriented
Far Side.  It collects a syndicated strip of the same name which has appeared
in computer newspapers.  I forget the author's name, starts with a 'T'.

Also check out Scott Adams' "Dilbert" books.  Not necessarily all computers,
but some of it is and its hilarious.  The first is "Build a better life by
stealing office supplies".  the second just came out.  title is something
like "Avoid meeting with life-sucking morons" or some such.

This is an attempt to reply to David A. Z.....I hate this system......

Ok, if all of Post-Crisis didn't exist...then why does everyone remember Barry
Allen? And Dove (the first one)? And a number of the heroes who died? And if
only the post-Crisis Crisis is remembered, then what about all the people who
remember considerably more of the Crisis than red skies and one battle (which
almost none of the heroes who took part seem to remember)? see my previous post
and the followups for that thread.
Basically, Crisis is a huge mess. It did _not_ create a consistant DC Universe,
because every time the people on high lay down a ground rule, they allow some
enterprising writer to break it. (2 words: "Time Travel.") 
I think Supergirl may not have existed...but after Ganthet's Tale I'm keeping
my mind open. And I can't wait to get the Crisis TP so I can reread the damn
thing and try and figure some of this out!

subject line, I think I'll attack it viciously:  Sorry, but this is just 
plain stupid.  Not that I don't think you're right; it seems like just the
kind of thing ye editors/writers at DC would latch onto and think is really
neat and innovative and ingenious.  But it's entirely illogical and. . .and,
well, stupid.  Consider: Dude dies at point A. You snatch Dude at point a - 1 
second, and translate him forward in time, to A + 1.  What??? How could they
have been killed at point A?  Answer: they couldn't.  Not unless you put them
back into the time stream at some point before A again.  Remember, they're
"gone". . .they've been snatched.  They wouldn't be around to get knifed/
pounded/poisoned/blown up/erased by editorial fiat.  Bleaghhh.  Seems like DC 
physics allows a person to be snatched from the spacetime lattice without any 
resonance whatsoever.  And now, as you say, there's a precedent for this 
nonsense, since Waverider and the Linear Men have done it. Sigh.
