Subject: Infinity War #5 error?
Date: 28 Aug 92 16:44:01 GMT
Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana


In issue #5 of Infinity War, Captain America mentions to Thanos that
the heroes almost took him down when he possessed the Gauntlet. However,
I thought that everybody's memory of the Infinity War was erased when
Nebula undid all that Thanos had done with the gaunlet in Infinity 
Gauntlet. Did I miss something? How could Captain America, let alone
ANY of the heroes know anything about the what happened during the
Infinity Gauntlet series? 
All in all, I eenjoyed IW #5, cuz Doc Doom finally shut up Kang and
kicked major *ss, as is his usual style! Are we to assume that the
cosmic cubes are destroyed? One would think that if their containment
vessels were blown apart, the released energy would do tons of damage...
Hopefully, Doom recovers in time to take the Gauntlet from Magus
next issue :--)  It would be nice if Warlock doesn'tt become the one to save
the Universe _again_--someone else would be a welcome change..

If anything good comes out of that it's a reminder that nothing lasts.

Subject: Re: GOLDEN AGE HEROES by IMAGE -Geez!

Well, I can forgive Larsen for coming up with his Golden age heroes, because
to Larsen, those truly are Golden age heroes.  His golden age then was about
12 according to his writings.  It's no wonder Mighty Man shows up looking
like Captain Marvel Junior, because I've drawn several heroes who've run
the gamut from Flash rip-offs to an actualy Moon Knight clone (one of my
many dozen Pegasi).  Mighty Man was simply a twelve year-old's dream, and
Larsen included him just for the sake of his own personal continuity (because
he was part of the Savage Dragon universe).  You also must remember, that
Larsen is either killing off, or horribly mutilating and mutating his Golden
Age heroes.

As for Supreme, I think the real reason he disappeared for so many years was
because he was infected with Red Leifeldite, and split into three black women.
As such, since Diana Ross is still a seperate entity, Supreme is not whole, and
is much less powerful, and probably less interesting.

Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

I have had the recent chance to read a few 'solo' Lobo comics (ie, without

1) Loki switched places with Susano-Oh, who is a JAPANESE (Shinto) deity,
   not Chinese.

2) Dream decided to keep complicity with Loki in exchange for a favor.
   What the favor is remains to be determined.

Hmmm...well, upon glancing at the cover of several of my albums, I could be
made to _swear_ that Death looked exactly like Siouxsie Sue, lead vocalist
for Siouxsie and the Banshees.  Yum!

And Gaiman looks a little like Lou Reed, for that matter.  And he likes Tori
Amos, which has been amply demonstrated, so I don't think it would be too
far off to suggest that he was a Banshees fan.

Actually, this plot was solved in an issue of Solo Avengers.  The Texas
Twister figured out how to exorcise the demon from Star's body and forced
it out, but the demon entered the Twister's body.  Apparently, the demon
had always wanted to take over the Twister, so at one point in time, created
the illusion that he was losing his powers.  The Twister made a deal of sorts
but the demon ended up in Star's body.  A spell of silence was put on the
Twister so he couldn't say anything even though he knew all along.  At any
rate, Shooting Star and Hawkeye forced the demon to leave the Twister's
body and into a statue on the West Coast Avengers' compound.

I'd always assumed that it was vanity, up to a point.  In his origin story

I think this is true and that Death and Dream are just based on the
typical goth images. Go to any good alternative clubs and you can
see any number of people looking just like these characters. I am
always seeing articles saying `Death is just like Siouxsie' and
`Dream is just like Rob Smith' but the fact is these are just the
most public faces of the goth image and so many people assume that
the Sandman characters are based directly on the singers.

Just my two new pence worth.

Well, considering that it is so emphasized that Desire is
androgynous/hermaphrotic, and that all previous incarnations of Sandman
in DC have been male, and that Daniel (surrogate son of Dream and Fury)
is also male, Dream's maleness seems to be important in the realm of
Earth.  Considering that Earth is also the DC magical nexus, whatever
happens on earth is a predominant thing in the metaphysical.  Dreams
relationship to the other endless may also form a yin/yang in some way
that he is a yin to delight/deliriums yang etc.

The deal is -
 
Ren is an Asthma Hound Chihuahua.  Stimpy is a cat.  Having fallen on hard
times the two started slumming together and are now best friends.  There is
no solid story to the whole thing - just a string of cartoons that have little
to do with each other.  There are episodes of their favorite tv show (Commander
Hoek and Stimpy - a space adventure show - 3 episodes of it so far), fairy
tales, and just stupid stories and little mini-commercials.  The cartoon is by
far the funniest thing to happen to television in ages.  Imagine the guys from
Monty Python making a cartoon while on some strange drugs.  It is wild and
obnoxious and I'm surprised that they get away with what they do.  If Nickelode
on is available through cable down there in Aussie-land check your listings for
them.  They are on twice a week here in the us (saturday at 9 pm and sunday at
11 am) and are debuting twenty new episodes for this season (three of which
have currently aired and are every bit as good as those in the first season).
 
The comic book is something I am afraid of.  I don't know if they can manage to
adapt such cartoon mayhem to a comic well.  Its like Bugs Bunny comics - nope,
don't like 'em, don't like 'em at all.  I am very afraid it will suck terribly.
I will howver get the first issue so I can have theair foulers (like air freshe
ners only the odors are litter box and wet chihuahua).
 
All I gotta say is the cartoon is incredible - watch it.  If you can't watch it
ask on the net for a bootlegged copy of them on video - I know that at home I h
ave all (save maybe last saturday) on video and I know others who do too.  Some
nice person will be willing to send you a copy for a bit o' postage and cash to
pay for a video tape.
 
buy issue one and see if you like it.  all I can say for the comic.
