I have been a fan of the backup stories for some time, but this first issue seemed to be everything I like about the character. The art was fantastic, and the plot is wonderfully moody. SUN DEVILS This is an interesting first book. They could ruin it in the next few issues, but maybe not. I could get tired of tough, cigar smoking women warriors, though (no, this is entirely sexist, I would also be tired of tough, cigar smoking men). E-MAN Elfs as smurfs? I love it! This book seems to be picking up again, after several less then perfect issues. Also, there is a hint that they will soon be spoofing one of Capitol's (RIP) hero's, not to be Nexus. Should be interesting to see what they do with a druid. MARS I give up. Would someone care to explain just where this book is heading? After all of these issues, I still feel like the characters are strangers, the plot a mystery, and I still don't particularly like the art. The big question is why I still get the book. CAMELOT 3000 Finally! Nice art, but I wasn't overwhelmed with the plot. Will be interesting to see how they tie it all up. But will it be in our lifetime? That's about all that I remember (I already commented on the new Teen Titans book). See you next week. P.S. Hello, Marv. When are we going to see electronic comments in LOCs? Maybe "T. M. Maple" will even join the net. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric
