	The Ancient one has come back from the dead at least once (20's
of the 70's Dr. strange Series).  He was in this "one with the universe"
state which really is not quite death in that any writer could potentially
bring him back.  

	This is from memory and I have not read any Dr. Strange in many,
many years so I dont know if they have done any retcons or changed 
the status of the Ancient One since.

I don't think that would be likely... for one thing, having the kid age
to the point where he could actually do something would take years...
they might try to rush it, but there's only so much that can be
believed.  And, more importantly, stealing another's body would be
considered "evil", as he would be displacing the spirit that
legitimately owns the body, and that's just not in character for the Big
Blue.

I no longer care about anything touched by Bob Harras or Scott Lobdell,
and so do not care to read the X-board.  Alan Davis, however, remains
one of my favorite writers and artists, and Excalibur does not deserve
to be included with the "x-books".  It belongs here.

	"What about you?", says a familiar balding voice.
	Table, with an evil grin equivalant to Rob Liefeld's characters,
turns to face his most hated enemy, Professor G and the Un-Manned G-Men.
Fearing another loss at their hands once more, Table aims his wooden hand
at them, firing hundreds of splinters at the G-Men. Sheiklops, the mystical
guru from the Near East casts a force shield between him and Professor from
the oncoming splinters.  IceIceBaby puts a wall of ice letters to protect
himself and the Yeast, a being with blue dough around his body, while
Marvel_Zombie Girl, the twin of Marvel_Zombie Boy, who were separated at
birth, remembers a plot with Aunt May ducking behind a chair, and so
she does the same. Finally, Matel, the being who can create any toy
made by that company from dirt, tosses a small matchbox-like car at
Table, hitting him on the forehead, knocking him unconscious.  The rest
of the criminals give up because they figure they cannot fight the most
popular team book.  
	As they are being taken away, no one notices either Dr. KillFile
nor Manga Man hiding in a secret closet. Nor do they notice a multi-
colored van hiding behind the bushes. This van can only belong to one man,
the Punished.

But what does the Punished have in store for the Legion of Net Heroes,
the Un-Manned G-Men, and the Legion of Net Villians?  Only time will tell.

Multi-Tasking Man kicks in yet ANOTHER xterm, and sends a message to the
beleagured LNH...  

1) Send a proposal for the new group to alt.config, explaining why you want
a new group, why existing groups aren't sufficient, doo dah doo dah day.
I'll send something of this type to alt.config in a day or two, once we agree
on the newsgroup name.  alt.comics.LNH sounds good to me, but I'll take 
suggestions.

2) Let 'em kick it around for a few days, and see if the response is 
generally favorable, if they like the name format, etc.  If no one whines
too much...

3) Send out a NEWGROUP message through the proper channels, and hope that
everyone's sites pick up the fantastic new group.  Again, I can tackle
this when the time comes.

Note:  ONE group will be more than sufficient, as proposing alt.LNH, 
alt.LNV, alt.binaries.pictures.acton-lord, alt.swedish.chef.bork.bork.LNH
ad infinitum would not be prudent. ;)  

Hell, if alt.callahans and alt.buddha.short.fat.guy can prosper, so can we.

well... i will assume that this is the same The Crow that i picked up while i
was in london this summer (as it was published in the states)... the format i
got it in was basically three graphic novels with the whole story in them...

i thought that the story was excellent, a bit dark... but very good... and 
even a bit moving at times... more than that i can't really say without 
spoilers...

the art was in general decent and the story was, as i said, very good...
my only real complaint was that when i looked at the dates that various 
parts were originally put out... the end was done much later than the other
sections and in my opinion didn't quite fit the quality that the first 
sections had... 

but on the whole i would reccomend buying it...

Umm, if you found Lobo's Back too violent, why look for his earlier
appearances?  The character is sold as ultra-violence.  You're not
going to find Lobo - Seasons of Mist.  You're going to find a lot
of art of him dismembering, disemboweling, and removing the eyes from
various sentient beings, most of them not deserving this treatment. His
violence is toned down somewhat in books where he appears with DC's
super-heros.
