And a very large snozolla it is, too.  But let's not get into a net.singles
"what do they look like" argument...

Oops, I missed that.  Have to re-read it.  That WAS industrious, tho' --
writing a REAL letter to a comics.  For myself, I'm waiting until First, DC,
Eclipse, Comico, AV or Marvel get a Unix machine on site...

Well, Reed *HAS* been developing some pretty interesting stand-alone
equipment.  These work, and are safe, but cleaning up after them is not a
joy :-).

PS I forgot to review the Marvel Team-Up #150 (forgot, nothing... it got
lost in the pile...), and I'd like to agree.  Simonson did a very nice job
here, and you end up liking almost all of the parties involved.  And even
though it's been done before, you truly begin to understand the torture
Rogue has to go through when using her power; she is perhaps the most
powerful mortal on the face of the Earth, but using it causes the most
intense agony...
