     As everyone but Sidewinder (who had inexplicably gotten onto the topic of

They already have changed.  The most rececnt issue had a Druuna story
that was pretty heavily censored.  Many of the word balloons were over
inflated to conceal various parts of the anatomy.  I recall one case
where a balloon filled almost an entire panel, yet had only one word
in it.  Under the balloon were parts of an unclothed individual.  I
will be very disappointed if this is policy under Tundra.

Yes.

I am certain you are the only person to have read this series and dislike
it.  I think it's really good.  Yes, it has been slow-moving so far,
especially compared to the early storylines in the Grendel ongoing series.
I think the homage to Lone Wolf and Cub is interesting, so maybe War CHild
loses something if you're not a fan of LW&C.  (I hate doing that.  Acronyms.) 
Also, it probably has more impact if you're familiar with the later story-
lines in Grendel, about Orion Assante.  (I haven't read those yet, so I'm
just guessing here.)

I'm just now buying up all the Grendel back-issues I can, so I can't give
you a definitive recommendation, but the good recommendations you've heard
about the book are probably about the Comico series, especially the first
few story arcs.  My personal favorites are 16-19, which were all written
and drawn by Matt Wagner, and I think are completely brilliant.
					      	     ^^^^^^^^^	
If you want to hear all the reasons I like Matt Wagner's work, e-mail me
because I can go on and on and on... 

I think the current series is pretty good.  It's interesting that Wagner
could take a character who I imagine was first conceived in only one
incarnation -- Hunter Rose -- and stretch it out as an abstract spirit of
evil and vengeance that has existed over centuries. 

I also like the Comico Grendel series because of its format -- a series of
limited series, each one done by a different art team.  (Although I would've
been happier if Wagner had done the art for all of them.)

   No, it's not you.  It's Dark Horse.

   Many of their miniseries that I bought in the past have been stretched
   out pretty thin, taking four issues to tell a story that could be completed 
   in two or three.

Don't blame Dark horse for the length; when this story was being
solicited by Comico (old, not new) as GRENDEL 41-50, it was already
pegged as a ten issue storyline (good thing, too; if it was a 5 issue
storyline, GRENDEL 46-50 would have been a reprint of DC Wisdom of
Lobo book :-).

Eros and Monster are relatively new Fantagraphics imprints, which were not 
around at the time of the black and white explosion and subsequent
implosion.

Groth has also flat ouit admitted Eros is only in existence to be a cash
cow
to keep the rest of Fantagraphics afloat - he ran a half-page ad which said
"Help save gary Groth's soul!  Buy lots of others Fantagraphics stuff so he
can stop peddling smut!  'I promise to fold Eros if orders on Love and
Rockets
triple!' says Groth" (paraphrased).

	As far as who does the art and such, I have no idea.  The Vampire
Lestat was a great novel written by Anne Rice about the life of a vampire
that wants more out of afterlife than just drinking blood and living in some
desolate area(like an old dreary castle).  Lestat moves among the living while
trying to search for a meaning to existence(more or less).  If they write the 
character as he was in the novel, it should be a great comic.  
	Personally, I had not heard that the comic was coming out but think
that is will be worth getting just to check it out.

Coyotes and Roadrunners?

Desire keeping cats would explain a lot. I mean, cats are absolutely 
worthless. They constantly demand attention and are very picky about what 
foods they want. They spend their days lounging about and occasionally
make token displays of affection. And yet they're currently the most
popular pets in the U.S. (Don't blame me. I only have one.) 

Desire did wear some sort of catwoman costume in one issue, if adds anything
to this argument.

"No, what you want is that cat over there. You'll take her home and she'll
take over your house. She'll sleep on top of you and make you feel guilty
when you have to get up in the morning. When you run out of her favorite
brand of cat food you will go out in the worst weather to get to the only
shop that carries it. She'll bite you and scratch you when you try to be
nice to her. Eventually she will die and you'll feel like part of your
life is gone."

That's hard to answer. I overheard this discussion about Cages once:

Hmmm, must be a distributor thing. The copies I've seen have always been

McKean writes and illustrates. I thought it would be a nice touch if someone
else did the covers, but he does those too.

All sorts of different styles. Some painting, some retouched photographs
(I think) and lots of black and white ink drawings. 

>Is it a mini-series?  

Yup. Twelve issues I think.

>How many issues so far?

#6 is due out from Tundra in October. 

>Recommendations?

This is the tough part. I like it. I'd like to recommend it. However, I don't
know if everyone will like it. It's not an ordinary comic book. Not a lot
happens. The last issue was really nothing more than two people spending the
night at a club. 

At almost $4 an issue, it's on the high side. My recommendation is that you
find an issue to read. The first is as good as any, though I think #2 is
my favorite so far. This is really one of those things that you have to look
at before you buy.

Tundra still has all the issues printed so far. You shouldn't have any trouble
getting back issues.

>Uh... I guess I had more than one question.  :)

S'OK. I never told you what it was about.

	You know what the problem here is?  Everyone sees the Endless
	differently, and as 20th century readers, we see and hear them as

	differently.  Neat, huh.
