Message-ID: <551@pucc-k> Date: Sat, 3-Nov-84 13:50:51 EST Article-I.D.: pucc-k.551 Posted: Sat Nov 3 13:50:51 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 6-Nov-84 04:14:40 EST Organization: The Warlocks Cave, Eastern Annex Lines: 69 {so? You look through my files, I look through your mind..see any differences?} Opening this week's bag of goodies.... Crossfire #5: Okay, maybe I went a little to far when I say this book was depressing. Probably more real-life than I would care for at times would be more like it. The main story was as gritty as anything else I have seen from this title, and the story-line to be appears to be as good. No mention of the fluorocarbons, though. Kitty Pride & Wolverine #4: Well, I didn't buy any of the Secret Wars, so I can be absolved of this one, can't I? Actually, I'll buy just about anything with Wolverine acting like Wolverine, and Yukio is *such* a good characterization. Kitty books to the US, leaving a semi-healed Wolvie to take on the Yakuza. I think this issue was *much* better scripted than the first three, but the artwork didn't do much for me. Kitty's father is a gold-plated wimp... Justice Society #2: Bizarre artwork in this one.. I don't know whether meant to have the grainy effect, or what. Wonder Woman appears to be aging rapidly throughout, and you have to wonder how bad off the Sandman is (I think worse than we realise). The Spectre seems to be bordering on the line of totally cosmic and totally out to lunch. Infinity Inc. #11: We do find out what has happened to Stripsey after all these years. Has the Star-Spangled-Kid aged immensely lately? I mean he was 18 years old when he popped up a few years back, and he seems to have aged along with real time rather than Earth-2 time. Blue Devil #9: Yes, Virginia, a mainstream comic can be fun, and include all those villians from the other comic books. What I like about this book is that it follows the same precepts as Zot, the artwork is not the most realistic I have ever seen, but it doesn't need to be. I can't believe that Dan Cassidy is just finding out that the Trident comes when it is called, or that it has a life of its own. Maybe this will be more fully explained (embellished?) in the next few issues. The Trickster seems to be a completely different character than he is in the Flash, though. (BTW, if you buy a copy of this issue, you will notice a letter from a certain netter who happens to like this comic a whole bunch....) That's it for this week.....
