Ah, I betcha you're just interested because Amanda used to use your last
name, so there!

Marvel hasn't forgotten Dr. Strange, but CLAREMONT might have.

I have a theory about ol' Chris.  See, CC (Hmm ... an AI project?) suffers
so intensely from womb envy that he absolutely CANNOT conceive of any
human female who could possibly be actually EVIL.  They might be misguided,
of course, as is Mystique.  But never e-vile, like a mere (ick) MALE.

(Selene doesn't count, she's not really a human.)

Also, ALL women are secretly the descendants of long lines of sorcerous
witch-queen-mother-protectors.  (And no man is worthy to carry their
machine guns :=)  

Anyway, the thing about Chris is that he MUST make a female character
more powerful than is reasonable or even likely.  Therefore, Ilyana,
and Margali Szardos (who Dr. Strange WOULD have known about were she really
what she represented herself as being!!) and 'Roro, and Binary, and so on.

Not that I mind powerful female characters, and Claremont definitely
acts as a counter to Shooter.

Anyway, I think Claremont is deliberately ignoring the implications of the
story in Dr Strange because DS is not a "wide audience" magazine.

And now for something completely the same,

	BYRNE HAS STOPPED INKING HIS OWN WORK IN FF AND AF!!
	Huzzah, huzzah, let the BELLS RING OUT!!

now if he could only find someone else to plagiarize . . . er, write
his stories, for him!
