I think the deal here was something like this; Stores who'd ordered the regular
Magnus title in bulk could apply to Valiant and recieve ONE copy of Magnus #0
without the card in it, for every FIFTY copies they ordered of the regular title.
Something like that, but don't quote me.

I think that Jeff is right, and I will go out on a limb and say that Julius
is going to turn out to be Cerebus' King. If you look at the past few issues,
the story has been strongly tied to the game. 
For instance, Cerebus advances a pawn, and Po counters with his queen, and
K'kul(?) is contered by his goddess.
So when I see Po play the Bishop, setting up a fool's mate(QxP mate) and 
suddenly a cirinist appears and threatens Lord Julius, I get a wee bit 
suspicious. Given that, as Jeff has said, the slash is 'off-panel' I don't
think we can say for certain. But the juxtaposition of Cerebus's king be
being threatened, and of Julius being threated is too convenient for me to
believe it is just chance. What makes me think that Julius survives is 
Cerebus's next move. Note, he first looks left [in my opinion, at the king's
bishop's pawn, the piece that gets captured in a fool's mate] then starts
pushing his queen's bishop, presumably B-K3 {I haven't used chess notation in
years, bear with me} which blocks the fool's mate.
What I am wondering is, who is the bishop? Powers hasn't shown up recently, but
I don't know why he would want to save Julius. 
I guess I'll have to go reread my phonebooks.

	Out of my 1800 hundred comics, probably less than 20 are worth any 
serious money.  And few, if any, of those could be liquidated easily.  The rest
are books I like to read.  I never buy multiple copies of anything, because each
extra copy I buy is a copy of something else I won't be able to read.  So I have
very few "hot books"... but lots of good stuff to read and reread and rereread
and rerereread and...

Is this a joke?  It's gotta be a joke.  I assumed that only *popular* (by  
fanboy standards) people worked for Image.  Although, now that I think  
about it, Peterson would fit write in since his total crap writing is at  
the same level of most of the Image gang.

On the upside of this, of course, 1) the Titans books might get taken over  
by someone competent and 2) We won't be seeing Peterson write that Captain  
Atom miniseries he planned on doing.

I think it is a combination of (1) they are jealous of him, (2) most
people who purchase his work (and the other Image creators' work) do
not seem to even look at what is inside the cover, (3) it is "in" and
"cool" to not like him, and (4) Image comics are "popular".

I was at the San Diego Con last week, and I marveled at the number of
creators on panels and by themselves who just dismissed the Image
creators and their work.  It seemed people were scared of what comics
could become if most creators became like the stereotypical Image
creator.  The company has been around for less than a year, and has
only produced about five or six comics (I'm not sure).  That is no
reason to be scred or frightened of a comic company.  Sure, they've
been popular, but issue #1's by popular creators *always* have been
popular.  I say, give it time before you begin to bash them.

I see the same thing with the Marvel X-books.  Many people have lookd
upon them with disdain.  We have put them into a ghetto, called
rec.arts.comics.xbooks, so we don't have to look at them anymore.

I don't say I am immune to this.  I have rarely read an X-book
precisely *because* they are so popular (and I didn't like the work
most times I *did* read them).  I don't care for Wolverine or Ghost
Rider or the Punisher (or Lobo in the DC books) *because* they are so
popular.  The Con had a T-shirt with Lobo's face on it.  I would have
purchased a shirt if it had Ken Steacy's poster on it, but I couldn't
bring myself to wear (much less purchase) a Lobo T-shirt.

Well, I'll get off the soapbox.

I most certainly AGREE!!

Thor as a leading character in a comic was always unique because he is a god,
with already a full history (mythology) before Stan and Jack ever laid hands
on him. This new Thor (may he disappear soon) is no different from any other
character floating around. In fact, he's so disgustingly 90's, I expect him
to start .... no I better not say that over the net.

The thing that I don't understand is the high praise received in the letters
page for ErikThor...

Fanboys all, I guess.

While I'm sane enough to admit that I didn't buy a single issue of SWII (I'll
admit that I bought the first issue of the _original_ SW,mainly out of curio-
sity as to how bad it would be,more than anything else),a snide attempt to
insult Gerber made by Shooter doesn't suprise me. After all,in Jimbo's mind,
Steve was being ingracious to Der Bullpen when they "improved" (read:mutilated)
HOWARD THE DUCK after he was taken off the title.

For Steve's (and Jack Kirby's) answer back,try to get yer mitts on back issues
of Eclipse's DESTROYER DUCK. A more adequate reply to Marvel's BS concerning
the way they treated both Gerber and Kirby probably can't be found.

    Sorry about that. I meant "The Extremists Agenda" (or was it "Vector?").
There's a one-panel shot of Cliff and Rebis, with Cliff wondering why the Hell
nobody's DOING anything to stop the Extremists after they supposedly take
control. 

    And, does anyone know the issues the Patrol appeared in New Teen Titans,
Titans Spotlight, and The New Titans? I heard of a "Quest for the Doom Patrol",
and of Cliff helping in a Changeling story, plus against Brother Blood. 
Anyone know what issues those were? Were there any others?

If you don't want to keep 'em, there's no real reason to.  Ronzo keeps
pretty much everything he publishes in print forever, so you can buy new
copies if you ever change your mind. 

There's only so far you can stretch a concept as thin as "Dirty Archie
Comics".  I thought Cherry Poptart was funny the first two or three times,
and some people would say that I only lasted that long because I'm kind of
stupid.
