	Sorry, but wrong answer...what you are talking about is the 
X-Men/Alpha Flight crossover...Loki is told by "They who sit above in
Shadow" to do something generous for the Earth, so he creates this beam,
which, left unchecked, would soon effect the entire Earth...Any *NORMAL*

An arhitect was give the ability to shape stone, metal, whatever...the

he could build anything he saw...

Well, she didnt fall for Galactus in the main book. But in a What If which came
out a little later, done by the regular Dazzler writer, she did seem to fall
for Galactus (at least a bit).

First of all, I'd like to assert that I am in no way in favor of
sexual harrassment of any kind, and certainly do not think one should
be admired for any actions or perceived actions which might constitute
this.

However, has anyone thought about it from this perspective:

Before it was stated that if Rogue comes into contact with another,
the person with the "stongest will" takes over Rogue's person.

Now, barring all the negative conjecture about Gambit, one thing we
do know is that he is EXTREMELY sure of himself (read: cocky as hell).

Also, he seems quite willing to try anthing even when the odds are against
him.  But, he frequently gets his clock cleaned by many of the baddies.
(sure he sometimes wins against the odds, but NOT ALWAYS)

Anyway, I think it is entirely within his character to be very curious,
and ready to find out, if he could come into contact with Rogue without
losing his powers or consciousness or whatever.

This combined with an attraction to Rogue and his hinted at ability to
"charm" the pants of people, would incline me to believe is not actually
playing mind games with Rogue in an effort to hurt her, but is more
concerned with the challenge involved.

True, he is probably not taking Rogue's feelings entirely into account
and this could be viewed as some form of harassment, but I don't buy
the traitor deal, and I don't think Gambit is out to intentionally
cause Rogue any harm.

Well, Eclipse Comics has their MAD DOGS comic, about a group of psycho

The usual stuff.

P.S.  DC's character was WILD DOG.

I understand where you're heading, but basing the "cut" along whether the

things.)

I just bought a copy of Youngblood #1.  I didn't mean to,
I didn't really want to, but with all the hype and the book
being delayed, and the supposed shortage I figured I might as well see 
what it was all about.  It was not as bad as it could have been,
not as good as it should have been.

Minor spoilers ahead perhaps:




















The book has two covers and reads from either end to the middle.  This
did not bother me.  Also both stories were independent (but continued
next issue).  Apparantly Youngblood consists of a home team and an
away team.  The home team story was actually entertaining and I'm 
interested in seeing it's resolution.  The away team story left
me cold.  Just blood and guts fighting.  No characterization.
	The artwork was typical Liefield.  However, the better
printing process of this book over X-Force shows the limitations
in Liefield's work.  His line art is too dark and his faces lack
detail.  I expect he will improve after a few issues when he has
a chance to see the final product.

I'm curious, of the people who bought the series, how many were planning
on getting it from day 1, and how many were seduced by hype and curiousity
like me?

	According to the authors, they haven't forgotten it, it just would
have been another thing to drag into an already crowded plot.  They 
also said we won't be seeing Tach for a couple of books (2 at least).
The next book will finish off the Jumper Trilogy, and the one after
that is a Captain Trips solo novel.

 Oh, I don't know.  You make it sound like the majority of Marvel's
heroes are killers, and this is hardly the case.  Granted, the Punisher
Ghost Rider, and Wolverine, (arguably) Marvel's most popular characters
*are* killers (hey, there are a lot of bloodthirsty kids out there :-)),
but one could hardly say that any significant number of Marvel's heroes
advocate killing--in fact, most go to great pains to avoid it.

And besides, no one stays dead forever in the Marvel Universe. :-)

I realize I am in the minority here, but I do not think S. Po is the third
ardvark because I do not think S. Po is exactly alive.  That is to say, he
certainly seems to exist, but only as a conciousness and not in a form.

Until proved wrong I will stick with the theory that the third aardvark
is a as yet unknown.  Perhaps Astoria's child.  This would seem to be
in concert with what has gone before.  S. Po as the third aardvark just 
does not feel right to me.

Besides, I don't think S. Po represent a major division in the belief
system.  The illusionists are but a tiny minority of the population.  The
power struggle between Kevillism/Tarimite/Terimite seem more global, and
they involve the vast mojority of the population.  At this point, I look
upon S. Po as a sort of Joker, a wild card.  He's part of the puzzle,
certainly, but not one of the linchpins.

	Hehehehe, the piano player scenes are worth the price of the book.
	I've got to say that this story (including book VII (hey, I'm
	an Ackroyd fan, sue me)) are the strongest of the books.  I've got
	to confess that I enjoy the whole series, and am to the point where
	I'll devour one of the books as soon as I see a new one.  The only
	story I can say I didn't find something good in was the Buddy
	Holley story in book V.  Yuk.

	I forgot he was responsible for the Time Masters disaster.  God,
