I agree with Joe Barone's analysis of Marvel's probable motive for
cancelling series and starting new ones with the same characters: that they
are trying to stimulate sales by generating more low-numbered issues.  I was
sort of surprised he didn't include another tidbit from the same CBG
message.  Apparently Marvel in 1986 will get a "new universe".  Hey,
original idea, guys.
