I asked, I received, I lost count.
A few weeks ago, I asked for opinions and recommendations about certain titles,
namely:
	L.E.G.I.O.N.
	Darkstars
	Sandman
	LSH
	Cerebus

I got more replies to THIS message than to my review column, which must show 
something about how much people enjoy and support certain titles (they know 
who they are!).  In fact, I got more recommendations for Sandman and Cerebus
than any of the others...and more for Cerebus itself than ALL of the others
COMBINED.  So allow me to update you on their status on my list:

L.E.G.I.O.N.: I'm really enjoying this title--and I've only read four issues!
(#36,37,43, and 47)  The LEGION is what Marvel's Guardians OTG *should* be--
a intergalactic police force.  It's nice that most of the core members are 
superhumans, yet everyone else is normal (Kinda like giving Picard and his 
senior officers superpowers, but no one else on the Enterprise.).  I'm hoping
this series is around for a long time, and I'll be raiding the back-issue bins
at my local comics shop whenever I have enough money for it.  

Darkstars: I won't make up my mind on this one until Travis Charest has had 
3 issues or so.  So far I like the characters, and Larry Stroman's art is
great!  (His X-Factor #71-75 is a true masterpiece)  Here's hoping.

Sandman: After only two issues--#44 and #41, respectively--I'm hooked.  With
Christmas on the way, I know what's going to be on my list!  (Hint: TP)

LSH:  I tried #38 (*Great* jumping-on point there!), and was interested enough
to warant trying the next few issues.  So no reviews from me yet.

Cerebus:  I wonder what would happen if I was to cat all the responses I got
together and then posted them?  I'd probably get flamed like never before in
the history of RAC*...just for taking up bandwidth!  I have decided not to 
buy any current issues of Cerebus until I'm all caught up with the series.
(I'll probably be reading the current issues in TP form by then...)  I'm going
to get (or "wish" for) the "phonebooks" one at a time--and in correct order, 
too!

Now, I'm NOT going to request opinions on any other titles, for the simple
reason that my budget is already in trouble...again.  So, I would like to
thank everyone who responded to my inquiry, and especially to my wallet, for
putting up with me.  God, I feel like I'm accepting an award.  Should I bow?
Can that be done on the computer?  Then why did I just do it?
