On the other hand, you might want to try at least one issue each
of Mage and Evangeline.  That's all it took to get me hooked on
both.  If you want more information on The Destroyers from The
Elementals you could look at the Villians & Vigilantes supplement
"Deathtrap of the Destroyers" which was written by Bill
Willingham.  Iron Maiden got turned into Chrysalis because of
copyright considerations.

I have to agree with you.  I stopped on #3.  Like many of DC's
ideas, it was an excellent idea but poorly executed.

I agree.  I wish they'd find him guilty so they could shoot him
and get him out of our misery...

I think Daredevil's been going steadily downhill since Miller
left.  I really dislike the Micah Synn storyline because I
prefer villains with style and Synn is a boor.  But I keep buying
it because it may pick up someday and then I'd have to go back
and fill in the gaps.  I'm waiting to see Kallisto enlist the
Kingpin's help against Storm by promising to have the Morlock
healer cure Vanessa when she's returned to power.Lots of good
plot possibilities there.  Maybe they could even drag Miller back
to draw the DD/Wolverine teamup - the last one was done badly.

I absolutely agree.  I only hope the S-word leaves before the
next run-in with the Hellions.  Considering his mutilation of
Rahne (also due to the Cloak & Dagger serum), I'd hate to see him
draw Catseye.  His drawings of Warlock remind me of Ralph
Steadman's illustrations for Hunter S. Thompson.
