Yes, I'm sorry this is so late, but I've been held silent by several downed
sites (LET MY NEWSNOTES GO!)

NEWS: Again, thanks, as the Comic's buyers guide is the fastest news around,
and is not available to many of us.... Ordway doing X-Men?  Sounds good, but
I was just getting to like Romita (I can't see Ordway bring the sensitivity
which X-Men needs so badly (think of the famous Peter/Kitty scene an issue
back)).  DNAgents was getting borderline... this may kill it.  Silverheels
-- another one with potential but presently not a big loss (what ever
happened to artists with discipline?  Apparently it went out with Neal
Adams debut...).  Ms. Tree additions to A-V (O.K., you don't have to be good
buddy Holmes to figure that one out, Pancho) makes it the strongest
publishing house around, with First giving them good, solid competition.
Thanks for the Epic note... I don't touch it normally.

On Baxter vs. Mondo: Perhaps it's not the paper we should be critiquing, but
the colorists... it sounds like there are just not enough
Baxter-knowledgable colorists to go around.  It may just take some time to
get it going...

Continutity: God, another huge Marvel Tie-In?  While Secret Wars is still
going on? Thor, ROM, X-Men?  Mr. Gumby, My Brain Hurts....

Mutant Menace:  I'm not sure people are complaining about the outbursts of
X-Men products... only the outbreak of mutants in the Marvel Chaosverse.
It's seems like Reagan and Mondale and Jackson and Hart should be playing up
to the mutants as a minority on Earth-Shooter; they seem to represent a hell
of a big share of the population (but they're probably not voting age
yet...).  I'm just noting it, not complaining... perhaps there is a **Larger
Significance**? (Hint, hint, wink, wink, Know what I mean, Know what I mean?)

Well, now maybe I can read the news from Friday and catch up.
