*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR CHUNK OF SHOOTERITE ***

     Bravo, bravo.  I, too, have read the new issue of X-Factor and decided to
     completely liquidate my Marvel collection.  I really don't know what
     they think they are doing.  Having Jean cooped up all this time seems very

     contrived to me.

     Meanwhile, Ambush Bug's new special is a delightful change from the 
     dreck Marvel is rejurgitating.  I recommend this excellent (but 
     thinly veiled) social comment comic to all.  I found it more 
     amusing than the New Mutants deathes (if it could only last!!!).
     And for all you Marvelites out there, don't give me a lecture on
     how Marvel outsells D.C.  With a 2-to-1 ratio of regular titles, it 
     is a wonder why Marvel doesn't really outsell D.C. In proportion, each
     of D.C.'s titles sells the same as any Marvel title.

     However, once Marvel gets rid of X-Factor, New Mutants, Alpha
     Flight, and forgets about the Misfits, then I will consider buying 
     Marvel once again.  After all, when one company has to copy the
     ideas of another (i.e. Squadron Supreme) you know they are in 
     serious trouble. 

     Jean Grey mentions (in X-Factor #1) that "mutantkind" is dying out.
     How she comes to this conclusion is odd - there are more mutant 
     comics at Marvel then there are sucessful mutants (i.e. ones 
     with any sort of overtly helpful mutations (humans excepted, of 
     course) that is).

     Finally, before I curl up with my new issue of Teen Titans, I want
     you all to know that D.C. isn't perfect either - Kamandi, The Last
     Boy on Earth has fallen prey to the Crisis.  His time line has
     disappeared, making his character become Tommy Tomorrow, instead
     of the interesting person he once was.  C'est la vie.
