Of course, this will be the second edition of r.a.c.er cards. Well, I suppose
the first, since the previous ones were net.comics cards. And yes, I do
have the rare Jayembee rookie card, the one with his posting percentage
shown at a low, low, low .878 (well, low for Jerry in his prime at least).

Btw, anyone have any idea how much a 1981 unc!dopey!galloway card in near

My current theory:  Desire changed Delight, by making her want something  
harmful even to Endless (something not unlike a 'drug' would fit in with  
what we've seen so far).

Destruction, probably the only Endless who REALLY cares about the others  
as siblings, becomes so enraged at this violation (which Desire probably  
did very casually, as a diversion) that he Destroys something of Desire's  
as punishment- some portion of her power, or realm, or personality,  
forever keeping her from reaching higher 'status' as an Endless; so she  
will now ALWAYS (a long time for Endless!) be considered one of the  
younger siblings.

Thus Desire has a permanent grudge against Destruction.  Despair was  
probably also involved in changing Delight, as Despair and Delight (at  
least as incarnations of human society) are directly opposed, while  
Despair and Delirium are not; so she assists Desire (on occasion at least)  
in keeping Destruction out of the way.

Well, thanks to Ted's devotion to this magazine, I too was able to

The truly *scary* thing I've seen is one little bit in the Karen Berger

( quoted w/o permission; this clearly constitutes fair use )

	P: Which brings up an interesting point: Now that all these titles

	KB: Actually, we are planning something like that for the end of '93--
		a crossover (of sorts) running through most of the VERTIGO

Gaack! Talk about appalling. We *don't* need this kind of dreck. If I wanted
to read mega-crossovers, I'd be reading Marvel or the stock DC superhero
stuff (or Image or Valiant, etc.) I strongly suspect that your typical
"VERTIGO" reader is *not* interested in crossovers.

According to both an interview with Pearson in Comic Shop News and new Legion
editor KC Carlson in the lettercol of LSH #38, this issue (which just hit
the stands this past week) is the last one for both Pearson and Keith Giffen.
Apparently Pearson's decision to leave the series was rather abrupt,
resulting in the fact that #39 is no longer double-sized and the material
that was going to be in it will be spread out over the next three issues
(joy oh joy). This is also a contributing factor to the delay of the 
release of the Legionnaires series, now set for February. The Bierbaums
remain as the series' writers, joined by new penciller Stuart Immonen (no,
I've never heard of him before either) who actually drew the cover to #38
(from which we can nonetheless draw almost no conclusion about his skills,
as that cover seems to have been more of a colorist's job than a penciller's).
	Before joining Legion (in which his first work was on back-up stories
in #s 21-24) he did several pinups (mostly Legion-related) for Who's Who and
also pencilled Starman #35, which featured an appearance by Lar Gand. I have
a strange feeling I saw his work somewhere else before that, but I can't say
where...
	Hope that helps.

LEGION, Darkstars, LSH: too standard heroish to me.  Bored me.  But
that could just be me.

Sandman: I couldn't come up with just a single comic, but if I was
allowed just two or three comics, Sandman would be one of them.
Probably would be the top - most comics don't take much time, a good
Sandman can keep you occupied for hours.

Cerebus: Start by getting one of the phone books and reading it.
Right now, Cerebus is right in the middle of a twisted storyline, and
it may be hard to figure out what's happening and the confusion might
turn you off.  But a definite yes.

I don't think I'm getting quite as good a deal as some of the other
posts that i have been reading. I like these guys, but maybe it is time
that I renegotiate.

First, i have a reserve box where they put my comics as soon as they
come in. It is done in numerical order and since I am number 6, if it
comes in and i want it, I'' most likely get it.

Next, i receive a 10% discount because I buy more than thirty titles a
month. i can also hold stuff in my box until it goes on sale an then
purchase it. they don't always like it, but they let me get away with
it. Also, the store absorbs the GST (Gouge and Screw tax) so that is
another 7% I save. Of course, I do have to pay a 12% provincial sales
tax:-( 

Finally, I get a lot of the periodicals and fan magazines free like CSN
and What's New, the preview magazine and occasionally some of the promo
posters. 

Not a bad deal over all, but I certainly wouldn't mind the 20-30%
discount that other people have been talking about.

this sequence was not altered, that's the way it was originally
printed.  Drinberg and keith weren't just a penciler inker team, they
actually collaberated on the artwork.  For example, the two page
demon spread contained in that issue is clearly not Drinberg's inks, but
Keith's.  drinberg was in control for the sequence in question, tho.

I just said this on r.a.c. (what's left of it :-) ) but it bears repeating
here: It goes to show how badly the X-Men are being written these days that
Colossus is seen as nothing more than an Arnie-style muscle-machine. The
Colossus *I* used to enjoy reading about is a peace-loving artist farmer
boy, and there is no way Arnie could fit the role.

Asd a general comment on these things, I should add that most people seem
to be concerned with just finding lookalikes for the characters. Personally
I feel that you should just select a bunch of talented actors and actresses
rather than desperately trying to fit famous lookalikes. A good actor will
play most roles well, and makeup can do the rest. A parade of famous faces,
supermodels and one-track 'blockbuster' actors will not a good film make.

Yes. it is a must for fans of Mignola's art (has anyone every heard a reviewer
say 'fans of this artist, pass this flop by!'?) and it demonstrates that 
Mignola should be *much* more horror than he is. The colors seems a little too
bright, though.

The story is pretty standard Dracula fare, but the adaptation is pretty horrid.
The pacing left me frightened and confused. When all of the issues are out,
it almost certainly won't be a very good read, but the art will be gorgeous.
Hopefully when Topps releases the TPB they will just cut out all the words and
leave us a picture book.

The art on the cards is nice too.

Someone posted that because of the adaptation the movie will suck more than 
just blood, but I get the impression from the frantic pace of the comic that
the movie is probably going to be *long* and with good characterization.

It seems to me that the integrated personality of Bruce/Fixit/Hulk can look
like whatever he wants, and big mean and green are the self-image that Bruce
has now.

It seems pretty apparent that Bruce has full control over his body by just
conceiving it.  When that guy from the U-Foes flayed him down to bones, he
survived and recovered.  Not healed, just got better.  When that guy who was
after Atalanta shot the Hulk, he really put a hole through him, and he got
better.  If Bruce believes he's OK, he's OK.  Doc Samson must be one hell of a
psychologist.

PAD, are you listening?  Care to confirm?
