	Actually, it was Slaine the Berserker and then Slaine the Horned God.

True, but that's only if the writer doesn't know better.  I'd also add "You'll
get more reception to your message over there.  Best of luck!"

If the writer insists on posting to the wrong newsgroup for no better reason
than "I don't like the way newsgroups are split, so f*ck you all!", then
he's a valid target.  B-)

Besides, you still have a way out.  You can always have a RFD and CFV

   On another note, I remember reading somewhere that Supes' powers 
aren't physical anymore, but rather a powerful telekinetic ability
that simulates other powers.  This ability duplicated everything that
Supes has:
   Projecting the field at skin-surface produces an invisible force field
that explains why he can't feel bullets bouncing off his chest but
can feel lighter, more pleasurable sensations.
   Utilizing Pyrokinesis explains his Heat-vision.
   His strength is just a telekinetic lifting ability, used at arm's range
(this is why he can lift a car and not have the car's frame bend due to
it's own weight).
   And so on.

   This explanation was given sometime back when Byrne was doing the original
MOS comics.

As people may be familiar with the recent letters that were sent into

Favorite characters:

2) Hawkeye
3) US Agent
4) Scarlet Witch
5) Wonderman
6) Iron Man
7) Living Lightning

(or something like that)

Well...
Marvel plans on axing the last two characters (Iron man and Living 
Lightning) from the team in the next few issues.

Talk about folding to the readers, or lack of them, as only 44 people voted.

Yet another episode in the Marvel Bullshit files.

Suffice to say I'm not surprised.

The sadest thing is that Rhodey(who now wears the IM armor) was a founding

Actually, DC is rather good about keeping the dead dead. If it were

Blandman is now at your friendly neighborhood comic book store.  It is published
by Eclipse, who also published Yawn.  I bought the former, but not the latter,
and recommend it to  any reader of DC's Dark Fantasy Titles.  However, they

Peter, you should read some SUperman comics.  They have changed a lot.
I used to have the exact same opinion of Superman that you have.  Yes, he used
to be invincable, and there was no challange to overcome in any of the stories.
Then I talked to Don Tompson (co-editor of the CBG) at a con last year.  I 
asked him what titles he enjoyed reading and he said his favorite 3 mainstream
titles were Sandman, Hulk, nad the Superman books.  Well, I love the other two 
he mentioned, so I picked some Superman issues up in a discount box.  Was I 
suprised!  First off, Superman is no longer unbeatable.  He no longer flies
through the heart of the sun to clean his costume.  In one issue a villian
pushes a wall over on top of him, and he really has to struggle to get out
from under it, and when he does, the villian is gone, and Suppies is black 
and blue all over.  When he gets in fights, he does get hurt, and the 
results show.  (Not for long though, Kryptonian super healing or some such.)

The other thing I really like about the Superman titles, is that things 
actually happen!  (Unlike most other DC titles and all of Marvels.)  There
are sub-plots that go on for several issues and then get wrapped up.  For 
example, Jimmy Olsen moves out from living with his mother, gets and appartment
loses his job, takes several low paying jobs and gets fired from most of them,
loses his appartment, moves into his car, the car gets impounded, so he has no
place to go.  On Thanksgiving, he turns up at a homeless shelter for a meal, 
and runs out when he finds out his ex-girl freind is serving it.  He now has
his job back.  

Superman also does not fight a monster every issue.  Some entire coomics have
no punches thrown.  For example every X-mas, Superman goes to the postoffice
to read his fan mail.  Most of it is 'Gee your great' or 'I've got an idea 
for us to make a lot of money' type stuff, but some of it is not.  Last year,
(I think) a boy wrote and said "You can do anything.  My father has a brain
tumor and the doctors say he is going to die.  Please save his life." Of course
Superman can't, and goes to talk to the boy.  He arrives just after the father
died, and the kid hates Superman because he didn't get there sooner.

All in all, the silly stories are out, and Superman has a lot more charector.
("Charector?  What's that" says Rob Liefield?)  Some of the issues are 
pretty funny too.  In one Jimmy Olsen wakes from having a bad dream, and 
says that he drempt he was turned into a giant turtle-boy.  

Pick up a run of 3 or 4 issues from a quarter bin somewhere and try them. 
You'll be glad you did.

Im not really a Walt Simonson fan but I have seen some stuff
he did that I like (eg Thor). This Superman thing looked 
pretty bad (not that I have ever bought a Superman comic) and
the Robocop vs Terminator thing looked even worse. Maybe they
should have got Miller to write and pencil it.
