It HAS been poor lately... other than Mr. Monster and some work for VORTEX,
has he been spending his time on other mags?  Also, I was sorry to see so
much of Gilbert's artwork fade underneath Loeb's work; he is a very good
artist in his own right (see THE WRAITH).

Damn, I wish *I'd* said that!  I've stayed away from this comic after the
team's sojourn in ECLIPSE MONTHLY, and frankly, my regard for McGregor's
skill has been in a crash dive ever since.  His last good work seem's to be
his DETECTIVES, INC. work a while back (which was very good), but lately...
pfui.  And if I see ONE MORE STORY dedicated to his KID!! No child should be
saddled with the infamy of so much mush writing...

Well, I should have reviews out by the end of the week...
