     I, too have found the Kurt/Mystique "plotline" to be a joke --
"gee, we haven't mentioned this in two years -- better toss it in so
they don't forget!"  The Nightcrawler mini-series will be a holy terror
to thoe of you who hated the cutesy little stories like "Kitty's Fairy
Tale", and a joy to those of us who enjoyed those stories.  Remember
BIZARRE ADVENTURES 28 ( or maybe 27 ) where Kurt and the Vanisher get
caught in an alien dimension?  Well, Kitty and Illyana get him into a
similar mess.  he ends up in a different dimension each issue, as they
try to retrieve him from the Danger Room.  Unfortunately, nothing about
Mystique.  Claremont was supposed to be working on his own miniseries
that would deal with the Mystique question, though.

     Speaking of which, has anyone noticed how Marvel drops hints about
things that don't show up for years, if ever, while managing to get out
relative dreck fairly quickly?  Anyone else want to see the promised 
FUTURIANS book?  The HERCULES series I heard about a few years back,
to take up where the second miniseries left off?
