Question played chords from Dennis Bowers's song...
I watch the show, "Warrior Princess", and I've heard rumours that
Itolicus, the "King of Thieves" shall be getting his own show
very soon. {grins}
And I have always prefered dogs to cats.  Dogs tend to me more predictable
and waiting for a cat to finish whatever useless thing it's doing to sit
on a chair is very tedious.
As you can see, I delegate women and cats to the same area of my mind...

Write your reply.

assistant: I  just re-read the new titans from 71 to 100,the "titans hunt"
storyline.Frankly, I think that turning a once populer character like
jerico evil,then killing him off,probibilycost them some old fans,as
well as turning cyborg into an automation.They came VERY close as well
to killing aqualad off.It seems that nothings left of the new team
titans in current dc continuity. If anyone kept up with the title after
#101 to #130,I'd like to hear what transpred,as well with the team
titans after issue#10. As well, was it ever resolved just who masquraded
as Rita Farr in issue#99? What did it for me,was seeing how insaine they
were turning Changling into, & the truely hidous creatures he was
becoming,as well as the truely AWFUL art of Bill Jaska!! Man, he was
decent on the x-men fill ins he did,but he ground the titans into the
dirt!! Marv Wolfman as well, spent a good dozen years on the
relationship between Nightwing & Koriander, & that seems now to be just
dust in the wind.Frankly, I was hooked on the title from issue 13
on,then got the first 12 issues. By chance I had bought the first
introductary tale, but it did'nt grab me.I bought them from 13 to
59,then from #1 vol 3, to 35, when I at last quit. I bought 7 issues of
the return of Perez with 50,a few now and then like 60-61,65, then with
71, stuck it out for 30 more issues.I  had the very first issue back in
65-66 or so, but they didnt much grab me,even the Neil Adams issues in
69 that I picked up.Wolfman &Perez, produced some of their finest work
of their careers on the early 80s issues.When you've reached the top,
where does one go but down? I think that Wolfman just couldnt wrap up
his storylines, & like Claremont, draged them to death.The brother blood
one in particuler.At best, I give the new titans to issue 50.

Write your reply.

assistant: That is one of the suggestions that I sent to NOW Comics.  First of all, The
Original Green Hornet was the Grandnephew of The Lone Ranger.  The Silver Age
Green Hornet was the Great Grandnephew of the Lone Ranger, and The Modern Age
Green Hornet(s) were the Great Great Grandnephew(s) of The Lone Ranger.  I
suggested Introducing a Great Great Grandson of The Lone Ranger, who would be
the straight across 4th Cousin of The Modern Age Green Hornet, and have him
pick up an alter ego that is closer to that of The Lone Ranger's, and have
him based in Texas (Green Hornet would have been located in Detroit), and
perhap he could introduce a direct descendant of Tonto's, who would join him
and the Modern Day Lone Ranger & Tonto (That is AS The Modern Age Lone Ranger
& Tonto).
I was hoping that we could discover that Alan Reid would have enpragnated and
giving birth to a son, that would take the mantle in the next age.
Johnny Dollars was a great creation, and it would be great to build up a big
Rogue Gallery for The Green Hornet.  Crimson Wasp was more of a tweener than
a villian, but Johnny Dollar would be better remembered as the arch-enemy of
The Green Hornet.
I once suggested to have a mini-series for The Crimson Wasp, she was a very
interesting character, and had the potential of being on the same level as
Lady Rawhide.
I was also very much looking forward to the wedding bells of Hayachi Kato and
Diana Reid, which we never got to see!
I hope perhaps Dark Horse will pick up where NOW left off and give us much
more wonderful Green Hornet reading.

says when asked whats clogging it, he says" Its a BIRD.A big dead BIRD."
while the new love interest says when asked whats up there,replys"A
bird,a big blond BIRD."Over all, with Kubert & Davis lined up for this
title,the next 6 months worth look excellent, through I really like
Bachalo, they are just as good on the book. This issue focuses on the 5
original x-men,as does the next issue.

Write your reply.

assistant: SPOILER WARNING - Spoiler information about 20 lines down.  Bail out now.
Last weekend I got a chance to rent the latest animated Batman movie:
Sub-Zero. My girlfriend refused to watch it with me because she insisted we'd
seen it at the movies a while back.  Sigh.
I watched it by myself and enjoyed it thoroughly.  I'd heard complaints that
the animation and voice acting didn't live up to the regular animated TV
series. With the exception of _some_ of the computer animation, I beg to
differ. Overall, I thought the animation was slightly better than the TV
series, and some of the computer animation was downright impressive.  The
voice acting was right on.  If any of the series regulars weren't doing their
regular voices, I couldn't hear the difference.
SPOILER STUFF STARTS HERE...
The plot was typical of the series.  Nothing to complain about there, except
that Mrs. Fries needed an unspecified organ transplant to survive, right?
And Mr. Freeze kidnapped Barbara "Batgirl" Gordon to get at her organ because
there were no dead donors, right?  So how did Mrs. Fries get cured by the end
of the movie?  Did another donor die?  Was an organ necessary to begin with?
All in all, I'd say that Batman: Sub-Zero is well worth the rental fee and a
must-see for any fans of the animated TV series.

assistant: I don't know, but I seriously doubt it!  I think when NOW COMICS went under,
The Green Hornet sunk with the ship!
I think That Topps Comics would be a good choice to take over the Hornet, but
look how slow they are with Zorro, and Lady Rawhide.
I think Dark Horse is most likely to obtain the rights to Green Hornet,
especially after the movie is made (whenever they get around to it!).
On the other hand, regardless of who obtains the rights, I think that the
Uncle to Nephew lineage that NOW COMICS establish will get discarded, and
that would be the terrible side of it all.

Write your reply.

assistant: By the time that Ikano Kato (The Golden Age Kato) came into the picture,
Tonto, assuming he was still alive in the late 1930's would have been a very
old man by that time era.   I am uncertain as to what time era Lone Ranger
and Tonto operated, but considering that Tonto is the same age as The
Original Green Hornet's Granduncle, Tonto would be old enough to be The Green
Hornet's Grandfather.  So can you see an Indian about 85 years old teaming up
with a Japanese who is about 25, to save The Green Hornet that would be about
35?  Hardly realistic!
Perhaps have one of the youngest sons of Tonto's (establishing that he had
several children over a long stretch of time) team-up with the Original Kato
to rescue the Hornet.
I would love to see modern day descendants of The Lone Ranger & Tonto go into
operation in todays world in honor of their respective predecessors.  Perhaps
instead of horses, they could ride on a Silver Platted motorcycle called
"Silver", and a Painted Motorcycle called "Scout".  :-)

Ah!  I don't know how far has the Chinese version of the comic book is at.
they've got over 30something issues but the english version of the comic book
has a bit more pages than the Chinese version.  The Chinese version is a

not.  They're the exact same comic strips but just in a different length.

English dubbed animes are better than the Chinese.  that i have got to

I never saw Evangelion dubbed in English.  Only saw the original Japanese
(subtitled) but only 2 volumes.  Is Pokemon out in English yet?  I heard WBs
(Warner Brothers Network) have bought the rights to broadcast it over here.
Though, I've never seen the TV series, I've read some of the comic.  Now,
've
noticed the endings in the comic novel and the ending in the JUMP magazine is
totally different.  I'm not sure the ending in the comic novel but in the
UMP
ending, everything just vanishes.  Is the ending in the TV series the same?
cannot
I would think so!  But I don't see alot of adults going out to read this
omic
book.
Video Girl Ai tends to have a more happier attitute while DNA2's got this RPG
feel to it.  And probably tries too hard to be like Dragon Ball.
