I'd have to agree with you on Transformers.  The Sub-mariner and West
Coast Avengers mini series are also pretty lame in my opinion.  I'm
trying to find the willpower NOT to continue buying mediocre mini series
just to keep my finger on the pulse of Marvel Universe continuity!
Transformers kind of reminded me of the Micronauts in the early issues--
I guess you can blame Mantlo for that as well as gaping holes in what
should at least be rudimentary plot logic.  Naturally evolving gears and 
levers etc.??  Puh-lease!!!  As far as Namor & the Westcoasters go, couldn't
these characters be incorporated from time to time in other books to beef
up plots and reader interest instead of providing revenue in the guise of
character revitalization?  (Come again?)  I, too, am growing tired of the 
recent glut of comics--especially on the part of Marvel.  Quantity seems
to slowly be replacing quality.  It's sad and frustrating.  Thank goodness
for some of the better titles around....

Incidentally, I truly enjoy reading this newsgroup.  Intelligent observations
about comics (of all things!) are a rarity and it's invigorating to realize
that such interest exists!

                                                ....keep up the good work!
