     BATO is not the best team book - The New Teen Titans is!  As for
     your last statement, I am an English student and I read all those
     outdated farts and I think X-Factor is drivel, too.  I plan
     on doing my graduate work in CREATIVE writing, so I do have high
     standards for plots and characterization.  Obviously, this last
     paragraph of yours shows just how silly you really are.  Sci-Fi
     is still literature, though maybe not as good as Shakespeare.  I
     believe that it is not possible for a CLASSICS scholar to know
     anything about comics, but a CREATIVE writer does!!!!
