I agree.  But I don't agree to the point of waiting a WHOLE YEAR to buy
the Titans books!  You're right, though.  I also feel that a majority of
the artwork currently being done in Baxter books would look better on
Mando paper.  One exception that leaps out at me though, is Elric.  I've
often marvelled at the *depth* of the art in this book, color-wise.  I
don't know beans about coloring processes and the like, but I don't think
you could duplicate the richness and "opaque" quality of colors found in
this book with anything less than Baxter.  This train of thought leads me
to wonder why DC doesn't employ these first coloring techniques in
their multitude of Baxter titles!  What the heck, I'd pay the extra quarter
for that sort of quality....But, yes, as far as most Baxter titles go,
the pencilling and inking by themselves would be quite adequate and even
preferable on Mando for the money.  The "big two" should experiment a   
little with paper formats like First did in their July issues!

                                             --hoping that the "big two"
                                               can put aside their basic
                                               greed long enough to hear
                                               the voice of the people...
