	I hope this doesn't sound like I'm ragging on you (I don't
	mean to, this time), but I couldn't find your name anywhere
	in the heading or in the article (not that it really matters).
	It just that I think if someone is going to critcize something
	I think that they should back it up. (And by using just your
	"handle" and no other ID, it appeared that you weren't.

	Well, enough of this. This is net.comics, not net.dump_on_each_other.

	As for this buisness about Jean Grey, I really think the
	people on this network are making too big of a deal about it.
	Let's face it, if it was someone like Nova coming back, no one
	would care (except that they killed him off for a reason, he
	sucked). But the people who are really complaining are the ones
	that say they loved her and her character. If that's true, then
	they should be happy that she's back. Personally, I'd give
	anything if something could bring back my mother in better
	health than she was before she got sick and died. And I'm
	sure some of you feel the same way about some loved one too.
	Besides, like some previous articles said, who knows if this
	is the real Jean. Don't forget the legend of the Phoenix! And
	who knows, she may die again (by popular demand).

	Finally, I have a suggestion for all of you out there who
	want to tell the companies how you feel about their poor
	quality comics, but still want a chance to read them. 
	Find a friend or someone you know that has bought the comic
	that you think is bad (ie: X-Factor) and read it to confirm
	your opinion. If you are truly disgusted with it, then you
	haven't given the company a cent. But to make up for the money
	you feel your friend has wasted, write some hate mail to
	them expressing your feelings. You really don't have to have
	a friend buy it (just read it at your local store), or even
	read it at all. Just let Marvel or DC or whoever, know that
	you don't like what they're doing!!!!! I think wasting 22 cents
	on a stamp is a hell of a lot better than 75*n cents on poor
	comics.

	P.S. If a useless article got posted by me (about 2 articles ago),
		sorry about that. I kind of screwed up. I'm new to this net
