Absolutely.  In fact, it surprises me that Wein, the previous author, was
doing so little good work on it.

Actually, the way Stewart and Katma have been handled, I'd prefer STEWART as
the title's main character.  Now, as to Guardians, this could make a lovely
split -- The Stop Evil Through Intervention (my favs, with Katma Tui,
Stewart, and Hal (perhaps as an officer?), and The Stop Evil Through
Prevention (Gardner and -- Sinestro!  Hey, if the end justifies the
means...).  And I HOPE they keep Katma and Stewart together...

Wait, it comes to me now!  Hal (and possibly a few others) serve under a
THIRD Guardian-based group, set up by that wandering Outcast Guardian from
the Neal Adams/Denny O'Neil issues (who pops up in all of Elliot S! Maggin's
stories).  Agreed, Crisis is a *kick*!  Perhaps a news summary should be
posted for net.comics when it's finished (my comics collection (all 15,000
keeper issues) is sorted and boxed -- soon I'll be starting my Blast From
The Past retrospective series...)).

                    ONE)   Hide beneath the seat of your plane and look away.
                    TWO)   Avoid eye contact.
                    THREE) If there are no eyes, avoid all contact."
