> OK Jerry, you piqued my interest....Just what exactly IS a Warlock??!

Well, this'll have to be the ten cent tour; I haven't the time or ambition for
the dollar tour. Basicly, a warlock practices sorcery, and a witch practices
witchcraft. The difference between sorcery and witchcraft? Witchcraft is basicly
a religion in which the practitioners, like Christians, Muslims, etc [no flames,
please], attempt to bring about miraculous effects through ritualistic prayer to
their deity, usually the goddess Hecate. Sorcery is merely the manipulation of
mystical energies without regard to "religious" matters.

From what I've read here and there, Selene will be joining the Hellfire Club (or
at least associating with them) in a story that will cross over from THE X-MEN
to THE NEW MUTANTS. As for be able to deal with her, remember, the X-Men weren't
prepared for her, since they had no idea what she could do. they might fare bet-
ter with some preparation.
	As for Phoenix, I'm sure that as long as Shooter is around, she won't
return as Jean Grey. As for Maddy, well, I don't see any justification for her
becoming Phoenix unless she *is* a reincarnation of Jean (and as I said before,
I'm not convinced that she isn't), and if she is, well, then we're back to the
previous problem.

So *you* say! To be honest, Jeff, while I had no real objections to the Miller-
illustrated story, it didn't particularly excite me, either.
