Message-ID: <274@pucc-k> Date: Sun, 26-Aug-84 15:21:24 EDT Article-I.D.: pucc-k.274 Posted: Sun Aug 26 15:21:24 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 27-Aug-84 23:48:25 EDT Organization: Purdue University Computing Center Lines: 36 Well, let's see what's in the bag... X-Men: A very interesting postscript to the story. A *lot* of character development for Storm, and Peter finds out about Illyana's, umm talents. So, Jean Grey was Rachel's mother....Did anyone notice, that in the 'flash-forward' (our time), that Amanda appeared to be pregnant? Or was that just Romita's art? I take it that Marvel has just decided that the story wherein Amanda tried to become Dr Strange's apprentice, and it was revealed that she and her mother were actually 'posessed' by the wand of Margali, is to be ignored, or something. Beauty/ Beast: ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH! (okay?) TNTT #49: Is Wally going to spend the next ten years or so busily dying? He is currently appearing in the 'one year from now' version of the mag. Looks like Fran may be up to something interesting. Is it my imagination, or do the characters look a little 'scrawny'? Nice Infantino art for the mid-section. Flash: The *TRIAL*, finally. I hope this doesn't last as long as the preamble. Why has DC decided to make the Flash the whipping boy? He always had one of the more upbeat books. Now it's like reading a soap opera. Did anyone notice the blurb in the DC plug-zine for the JSA mini-series next month? And Dr Fate? Now all they have to do is bring the Spectre back, and I will be very, very happy. The Aparo stuff from a few back (oh could it actually be ten years?) had a perverse charm to it. Gangsters being eaten by huge ducks, murderers being turned into wood, and being run through jigsaws: great fun. Laurie pucc-k:afo
