  Even more Bill Mumy trivia: He's half of the comedy music group "Barnes and
Barnes", which is where he did "Fish Heads" originally. B&B have also done a
bunch of other stuff, including "Touch Yourself" (a bouncy number about...er,
safe sex) and "Goodbye Old Friends" (a farewell to STAR TREK VI).

  I haven't seen it, but supposedly one of the issues of the COMET MAN limited
series features a radio playing "Fish Heads". Of course, CM was written by
Bill Mumy.

  Most of Barnes & Barnes stuff is not that strange -- relative to the rest
of the field of comedy/demented music, it's just silly. People who think
"Fish Heads" is "strange" obviously don't get enough of "The Dr. Demento Show"
(and poor lost souls they are).

Death of Jean DeWolff.  Nicely paced, a few quips, hints of real people
peeking out from behind the characters.  The cliches/humor didn't dominate
the storyline, but were harnessed to it.  Atlantis Chronicles was also quite
good, for much the same reasons.

While The Rift isn't my favorite Star Trek novel (sadly, I still have a fond
place in my heart for the Phoenix books, as well as Diane Duane's novels) I
don't think it's that bad.  At times, the plot seems forced and cliched, but
there are some different, interesting takes on Star Trek there, as well as some
parts that haven't been discussed in other novels/episodes/movies before. 

Indeed, there are two things I look for in novels of this type; one is new
unexplored parts of the Star Trek universe, and the other is parts which 

*exactly* match my take on the characters (which is difficult).  Has anybody
read the latest joing novel (co-authored by Peter David)?

Maybe this is saying the same thing, but I think Peter David's greatest
weakness is when he lets the humor/dialogue/cliches (which is his strength,
IMHO) overwhelm everything else in the book.  So far, his X-Factor and Hulk
work has kept the humor in check, and even harnessed it perfectly at some
points.

I like the sound of the theory (except for Rachel being the traitor--Hey I have

A Problem with this though:
>Rachel goes with "Mommy and Daddy" to return "home".  Then she runs into

If Rachel failed (and we know she couldn't succeed in saving the future 'cause
of divergent timelines) her future (w/kate pryde and nimrod) was destroyed in
a Nuclear Fireball.  Remember, Kate went back to keep the Sentinels from 
taking over America, they were about ot move into the rest of the world.  The
rest of the world had their nukes aimed at the US to keep this from happening.
Since time lines can't be changed(just new ones created) the time line she 
was from blew up.

Besides which, Rachel is essentialy a Holocaust survivor.  They're not known 
for turning and killing their friends, all that they have left in the world.

BTW: why would Emma Frost want to kill the X-Men?  The X-Men and Hellfire club
were ,if not friends, allies.  Remember that Storm and the non-pod-person
Magneto joined the H.C. as the joint White King.

That fight is still one of my favorite examples
 of Spiderman's secret extra power.  Going by 
 their powers as stated in the Handbook, it 
 should have ended in one of two ways:

1) Firelord eventually realizes he can't hit
 Spiderman with a tight beam.  So he waits 
 until Spiderman is within, say, 1000 yards
 and then just nukes the entire area.  Roasted
 Spider, roasted city.  Eventually Hercules +
 Silver Surfer kick his ass, and the two Heralds
 use the Power Cosmic (TM) to reconstitute 
 Spiderman atom for atom, along with the rest
 of town.  Spiderman feels hideously outclassed
 and slinks home like the insect he is.

2) Spiderman leaps forward to attack Firelord,
 but backs off due to strong Spider Sense warning.
 This repeats several times.  Finally he ignores
 the warning + cuts loose with an all-out punch.
 It never lands, because his entire forearm is
 vaporized as it approaches Firelord's body.
 Spiderman stands there looking stupidly at the
 remaining half of his right arm.  Firelord 
 laughs at him hysterically for a while, and 
 then reconstitutes his arm atom for atom before
 flying away.  Spiderman feels hidously outclassed
 and slinks home like the insect he is.

Of course, neither of these endings occurred, 
 because of Spiderman's secret extra power to
 MAKE HIS FOES BECOME INCREDIBLY STUPID.

And yes, I know that spiders aren't insects.

	Spider-Man is the most believable of the comicbook heroes; he
actually has feelings and struggles with himself.  He is very underestimated
in his power; in the Secret Wars he took on the X-Men single handed!  He
isn't overly powerful (like many of the new 'heroes' seem to be) and yet
he's no one to be trifled with.  In my book, spider-man is number one
(with wolverine coming in second) - I don't know why no one has mentioned
him before!  He's so overlooked...

	Well, if you can't dig up 2, then go ahead and read 3, but 3 is 
a definate sequel to 2.  In 2 a 'master villain' has his plans for 
world conquest foiled by the aces, and in 3, he takes his revenge on the
aces who stopped him.  Also, a bunch of new characters show up in 
2 that are major players in 3.  However, the novel does stand on it's 
own.  It's just easier to understand if you've read 2.
