Hoom.

Does this imply that DC is turning Superman over to Marvel?

More seriously, I'm fascinated to realize that nobody's considered the 
possibility (in the Marvel U) that Jesus was a mutant.  Probably just
cowardice on the editors' part. . .

It depends how rabid they are.  I can only think of one ST-Daxam connection:

A Long Time Ago (okay, it was Swamp Thing #97, in 1990) when the world
was Much Different (Wheeler was writing) and so were the plots (ie, the
*first* time Tefe was kidnapped), the Swamp Thing had to travel to Hell.
On his way, he met a number of dead aliens (being light-years from their
own after-realm, they lived on the outskirts of ours).  One of these
was Lar Gand's father, the Daxamite who sacrificed his life for Earth
(ie, flew back into Earth's atmosphere after finding out about its lead,
without first putting on a protective suit, and instead of simply sending
Daxam a message by ship or by ship's communicator).  They chatted briefly.

They're actually published by Russ Cochran under license from EC.  A good
source for the volumes that are still in print is Bud Plant Comic Art at
1 (800) 242-6642.

You should note that the hardcover volumes only reprint the covers in
color.  There's a more recent softcover collecting MAD 1-6 that's full-
color throughout.

Presumably; if they want to know.  If they care.  If they are paying 
attention.  If that member of the family isn't making it impossible or 
difficult for them to know; presumably Destruction has been, for 300 
years, making it impossible for his siblings to know where he is or what 
he is doing.

I think that with the endless, the possibilities are... well, endless.  
They are both immutable and mutable and no one answer to any question 
about them is sufficient.  Therefore, inconsistencies appear, but are not 
self-contradictory.  We're dealing with a bit of meta-reality here.

Sure.  There are protocols and patterns of etiquette and dealing with 
each other that the Endless have worked out.  Nobody's function is 
exclusive of all the others, but all are independent, and as we have 
seen, don't necessarily get along: Dream and Desire are often at odds, 
and I bet Destiny's plans often clash with those of the others.  SO they 
have ways of dealing with each other..... Hence the sigils and doorways.  
It's a modus videndi they have adopted.

I'll ignore the "hack" comment about Quesada and just assume you're

Lee, I will agree that he draws some very interesting pictures and
has a lot of promise.  I think he could learn a few things about

: Still, it's his art and for an artist that's pretty special.

The art is valuable, money-wise.  While most of the stuff that
was missing from Marvel's warehouse was the best stuff, like
early FFs and Thors, there was some stuff left that wasn't
Devil Dinousaur-type stuff.  I imagine that the pages average
about $50 each, retail, assuming they all weren't dumped on
the market at the same time (which they haven't been).  At
2000 pages, that's $100,000--not peanuts, and possibly worth
a lawsuit.  Marvel's position throughout was that it owned the
art and was only giving it back because (unlike when the art
was created) the then-current standard procedure was to give
back original art to the artist(s).  Of course, they also
used the leverage that they owned the art to ensure that
they wouldn't have any copyright ownership suits from any
artists (Kirby was the only real problem here, that I know
of, he and his wife had been bitching about it for a while).

The key here, I think, is that (like National/DC and S&S)
the company should have, out of niceness and gratitude,
done the "right thing" and given more to those upon whose
shoulders the empire was built.  Of course, that's impos-
sible now, since Marvel and Warner have shareholders to
please.

Data point:

At the same time he was doing some rather pathetic black characters ("Vykin the
Black" and "The Black Racer"), Jack Kirby (of all people) had a very well-done,
excellently non-stereotypical character named (of all things) Sunny Sumo who 
was, indeed, a sort of "super sumo-wrestler"; they kept trying to come up with a
machine that could beat him, but he foxed 'em all.

For a while Sonny was the most important person not only on Earth, but in the
Universe.  Unfortunately this led directly to his demise...

Sorry if this has been tlked about before and I missed it but it seemed like 
a fun topic to me.

What books do YOU want to read out of Lucien's Library.  Let's assume
he's got a comic book section and an AV department too.

I suppose I'd start with Big Numbers and the last few Veitch Swamp Things.
On Laserdisk, I'd get The Other Six Star Wars Movies, and I suppose, WATCHMEN.

I can't actually think of any novels off the top of my head, but I suppose
the Unwritten Works of Alistair Crowley would be an interesting read.
And over in non-fiction, The Complete History of Covert Operations During the
Reagan-Bush Administrations is a title not likely to be seen anywhere outside
The Dreaming for a while.

This reasoning suggests Neil Gaiman should not have worried about trying to
explain away Captain Atom #42 (his explanation was basically that Death was
lying), nor even worry about anyone else writing something inconsistent with
his mythology.  But he did....

You know, what I find most interesting to read in this group are the
.signatures. The Mr. Peanut Chronicles and Jim Drew's Marc Lynx quotes 
are hysterical. I sometimes skip Tom Galloway's articles and go straight
to the signature quote. In fact, just about the only person whose
articles are consistently better written and more entertaining than his
signature quotes is Moriarty, and well, you know what's about to happen
to *him*.
