	Well, this sounds like a loser here.If Doc Strange can't handle
a crisis on his own, why not call the Ghostbusters?  IMO, they're a lot more
entertaining than the current breed of comics.

	Can you say rip-off of Justice League Quarterly?  What's the 
difference?  JLQ is written better.

	Why?
>A New PUNISHER/WOLVERINE story by two people I have never heard of.
	Oh goody... Marvel's first psycho with Marvel's worst psycho.  "We can
kill 'em at Hand-to-hand and at Range..."  Expect this one to have a plot ---
NOT!

	Oh boy, another grim vigilante comic.  We need less of this.
>IRON MANUAL:  Everything you didn't care to know about Iron Man.
	What, couldn't they wait for the Marvel Universe Handbook Update?
>INVADERS:  The hidden stories.  Could be good, but.....
	Don't let me even see this one.  They're so desperate for sales they'll
bring back old hero teams that shouldn't be brought back.  Marvel Comics---
home of the shameless.
>SILVER SURFER/WARLOCK LS:  STARLIN DOES STARLIN--I'll get it!
	Huh?

	Oh, now we have the Thor does the Hercules Limited Series...

	She was worth her own section??

	No comment.
>Mike"I let Tom&Mary do whatever they want" Eury WILL be takeing over SHE-HULK

	And we'll watch sales plummet with issue #51.
>There was no mention of Byrne's IRON FIST.
	They're just jealous of a good idea.

>I belive that I saw that Bob (don't get me started with him) Harris will be

	See comments about She-Hulk.
>INFINITY CRUSADE is on the schedual, but it looks like it will have fewer Heroes than I.War did.
	Oh joy, another crossover attempt at more sales.  Most of the serious
comic readers around here didn't even read the first Infinity War.

	No comment.

	Maybe.
