Well let's see what is in this week's bag...
Infinity Inc #17:   I'm sorry, but the helix characters look like something
		    out of a Brian Bolland nightmare.  I mean, Kritter and
		    Baby Boom are just a little too much for my taste, at
		    least in this setting.  I could handle something like
		    those two in E-Man, but not in something that has the
		    base level of reality that Infinity Inc has.  Nice to
		    see the Thorn popping in, though.


Ambush Bug #3:     Once again, worth your $0.75


All-Star
Squadron #48:      Hey!  We're heading for a 50th issue!!  Glad to see that
		   DC is picking up on the period pieces (ie Blackhawks and
		   Wotan).  I hope the writing tightens up a bit, though.
		   It seems to have been meandering a bit in the last few
		   months.  I hope we aren't going to see a Shining
		   Knight-Firebrand-Hourman triangle.  I can also live
		   without the "Geez, my powers just aren't as good as the
		   other guys" patter.  If I want galloping neurosis, I can
		   read the Avengers.

The New Mutants #31:   Well know we know who is the gross and disgusting
		       woman that has been haunting the past few editions.
		       Whoopee.  Know, here is a woman who has had her
		       country taken over by hostile forces, had to flee in
		       a boat where her family was murdered, and she was
		       raped (I know, not all her family). And then, when
		       she gets to the US, her Uncle wants to take her and
		       her brother, and use them for his own ends.  And
		       then, having defeated her uncle for the first time,
		       her brother dies, and she assumes part of his soul
		       (check out Fantastic Four).  So, now she has to go
		       serve her uncle for a year, and goes completely off
		       the wall (besides the amount of food she would have
		       to have eaten in one year to get to that size....)
		       BTW, I think it would have been a nice idea if the
		       demon had left Dazzler in Limbo...



Squadron Supreme #1:  Oh Boy!  All of the DC JLA (old) done ala Marvel!
		      I was around for the first set of these characters
		      (Back in the Avengers, a long, long time ago), and
		      then the next round with the Defenders.  Why is it
		      that Marvel seems to do better characterizations with
		      other people's characters than their own?  Other than
		      a curiosity, though, I can't see much use in this
		      series.  BTW, does anyone know of the official DC
		      line on this?


		      That's it for this week...

		      Laurie Sefton
