...well, yes, a few as I recall. In fact, some of them never did see print 
with a first issue. I think T** G******* has a list of what actually appeared
in those issues of _Cancelled Comics Cavalcade_, which might shed some light
on what got killed.

...We can also add to that _Void Indigo_, of course, and perhaps _Big Numbers_
depending on what Moore decides to finally do with the book (not that I'll
buy it in any case :-)), and _Power Plays_ as well.

...Of course, _Ms Mystic_ was part of the list for quite some time. Too bad
it didn't stay that way, either.

...However, you have to admit that _Brother Power_ has become the de facto
standard for defining what a "short-lived" series can truly mean. Nothing
else DC had put out before it - not even Pre-Kirby _Jimmy Olsen_ - had been
lame enough to get cancelled for the sake of taste, and certainly nothing else
died in so short a time for those reasons.

What's that? There's a NEW _Brother Power_ series on the DC sked now? 

Who says there's no shakeup going on in the offices...

I think it's a four-issue series.  I haven't bought a Batman title
for a long time.  I picked this one up on a whim and was very
pleased.  Intriguing story and very stylish art.

Because I'm not a regular Bat-reader I was surprised by the active
role Alfred played in the story.  Is this usual these days?

  Yes, I am totally hooked on it.  I thoroughly  enjoyed the Thanos
  Quest and the Infinity Gauntlet, and am not at all disappointed
  with Infinity Wars.  I've been an avid collector of Marvel comics
  since the '60's and have always enjoyed the cosmic stories the
  most, and this whole infinity series has been one of the best.
  Of course it helps that all of my favorite characters (Galactus,
  Thanos, Dr. Doom and Dr. Strange) have been prominently displayed.
  Until Thanos gets a facelift, make mine Marvel.

Summary of Constantine?  English dabbler in the occult, tobacco addict,
agent provocateur, all around dour chap.  (Yes, there's a lot more, but
we don't have the bandwidth to go into it now.)  Basically, you should
read all the issues of Hellblazer you can get your hands on.  The first
nine issues (not sure of the number) have been collected into a volume
(of which the title escapes me) that just came out.  Constantine has
appeared in many issues of Swamp Thing, as well as a couple issues of
Sandman (waay back in the run).

There's a lot more to say, but i'm not the man to say it.  Suffice to
know that you should read all the issues of Hellblazer you can.  Good
stuff.

This has been noticed by several r.a.c.ers and discussed in passing; I have 
read maybe a grand total of three issues of Grimjack (part of the Timothy 
Truman stories), and when -I- saw "Ravage 2099" I immediatly thought "Holy

 Infinity Gauntlet was cool, but it stayed in it's own books. Infinitely
 Long War has lasted way too long and ruined the plot line on TOO many
 otherwise readable books.

True, but at least he ditched Liefeld's background work before the last
storyline began.  I mean, I know Dave thought Rob had reformed and really
wanted to redeem himself with some worthwhile comic work for a change,
but I never really believed he was sincere.  And although his work on 
the backgrounds was technically good (I'll grudgingly admit), it lacked
soul, IMHO.  And putting up with Button Fly Roach for even two issues was 
just too much to ask of anyone.  But let's not start *that* thread again!!

Dude, you got me.  But it's been a while since I read M&D book four...
since so much of the last few years has been a conclusion of those dangling

I heard a *rumor* (but from a usually reliable source) that he is thinking of
working with David Lynch on a state-of-the-art Virtual Reality environment.  
I don't know if it involves Cerebus at all, but if you've tried out any of 
Lynch's other VR works, you know that whatever they cook up together, it'll

This may have already been answered, so forgive me.  Just someone

Anyway, the question is, what did the three issue of that were titled

excpet the last which was EXCELLENT.  Was the meaning on how 
different people "collided" with each other?  Was it how different
people ended up meeting Morpheus or his dream world?  
Or, are these three stories preparations for what is to come in the
new story line currently involving Dream and Delirium`s search for
the Prodigal Son (Destruction)?

Like I said, forgive me if I am naive and have missed the point entirely
and would appreciate no slams since I am asking only, if you desire

dangerous Absolute Power was, and Rebel Yell was off in the corner taking a 
brief, er, leak behind a column.
     Quickly zipping up (but not *too* quickly), Rebel Yell turned to face the 
insidious villain alone...alone that was, until he hear the unmistakeable sound
of taxes being prepared, microwave popcorn being popped, drains being 
roto-rootered and memiors being composed, and knew that MultiTasking Man must

No, Storm Boy is a completely distinct character. M.Rawdon's description

Not to be confused with Command Kid, another not-what-he-seems
Legionnaire/villain from Adventure 328.

I feel that the the closest analog to Kid Quantum is Reflecto.
Think about it: both were introduced prominently displayed on the
front cover as memorial statues of previously unheard-of Legionnaires,
clad in a yellow/gold uniform.
