I doubt anyone elese in the world reads CBG price guide but i got the promo 
card from it ad while flipping throught the unfounded prices came to the 
end and found this

		YOU CAN WIN 200.00 $ if you correctly solve this puzzle

looking below i say a small crossword puzzle and you were give all the words 
(plus some extras) that were to be used. so i said how hard can this be?
well it turns out that to get them all right you have to guess on almost
all of the words because you will get the following

P_I_E ( _'s are blanks)  the cloices are price pride and prize all that fit
			so you say well look at the cluse well the clues
			are horendously vauge and provide no help at all...
			so i said if you have the small part of the puzzle
			below how many times you you have to enter to 
			definatly win the 200.00 dollars? well not 
			many...


				P_I_E
				 _
				 T    

			thats the puzzle the clues are 
(across) This was probably the major consideration when actors and actoresses
were chosen for the Batman movies  choices that fit---> Price Prize Pride
(down) The penguin could best be described as being this kind of creature
choices that fit-----> Act Art Rat Rot 

	So thats 12 diffrent possible working combos not so bad 
	each entry only costs a buck so main in 12 bucks and win right
	well the problem is as soon as you throw in another one with 3
	choices and aanother with four you are up to 146$ for entries
	and belize me their are exacty
	3*2*3*1*4*2*3*3*2*2*2*2*3*2 thats over 10000 diffrent possiblites..
	I wonder how many kiddies will try to win the prize?  
	I am supprised that they didnt put this in a marvel comic or 
	something they would make millions

	I have no clue why I am writhing this or why i am tabbing all 
	these lines but if you are still reading this maybe my time
	isnt so wasted....

	Just some thoughts....

I, Manga Man, have the so-called Official Continuity still. I've been trying
to keep things in order, but I'm giving up hope! Since it was so close to the
end of the first story, I'll just write the ending myself and post the lot. 
I've got a few Net.Heroes to take on this week (such as the Knight of Operating
Systems, and Robotics Kid), but I should be able to post all three chapters 
next week sometime. I'll leave it up to someone else to collect the next
story.

See you on the Net, Americana-baka!

Yours conclusively;

Manga Man

Actually, I bought mine from Time Warp Comics, not from A-V.  Dave sent a
rather large order to Wayne, cuz Wayne is such a nice guy and runs a great
shop!  (No really, Dave even talked about Wayne in one of his Letters from

That is true.  The books from A-V I don't think have ever had anything on
the spine...

Nah, it'll be more like Orpheus and Euridice - Superman will have to rescue 
her and they'll be given a chance to leave if they don't look back. I can 
see it now:

Superman: "Now remember, Lois, don't look back - Lois! I told you not
to look back!"

Lois: But, Clark, I'm a reporter, I have to get the story! 

Or maybe Lois will eat a few seeds from a pomegranate or something.

Do we have the scripts from last semester lying around, and if we do, can
they be reposted?

Also, is there going to be the OFFICIAL CONTINUITY made as there was last
semester?  There seems to be alot of rogue activity, and people going
in different directions. This would make it easier to follow.

I don't remember the issue number, but it is in the early 150's.  It should
be easy to spot.  Just look for the lady with the ankh and the slightly odd
smile in the page with all the men chanting "DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!".
She DOESN'T look like Gaiman's death.  I didn't realize who she was until

Nope.  The plan is to do an introspective look at how the DC Universe copes
with the death of one of its MAJOR icons.  Which villains, long fearful 
of Supes, will come out of the woodwork?  Most significant, Supergirl will
try to take up the mantle of "Protector of Metropolis," but will get reamed
due to lack of experience.

For those of you too fearful to wait:
SPOILERS!

Okay, a new villain by the name of Doomsday will come along to threaten 
Life-as-we-know-it.  Superman will get into the standard punchmeup, but
with one important difference.  Doomsday is stronger, faster, and more durable
than the Big Blue Weenie, so Supes, rather than triumphing over force of will,
will get BEATEN TO DEATH on panel.  No "the explosion carried me to safety"
or "I was smashed to smithereens, but my force of will helped me to 
reconstitute."  Neither will there be a convenient clone.  Superman will 
be dead, a bleeding, bloated corpse in a box.
	This, of course, creates a whole new dilemma.  If Doomsday can take out
supes, who can take out Doomsday?  He was in a "containment unit," when first
seen, and busted his way out of that.  SOMEONE is that powerful, but who?
I have been told that in a fight with the Justice League, someone big is 
killed by DDay, and Blue beetle is put into a coma, with several others being
REEEEAAALLLYYYY hurt.
