Obviously, Tim and I disagree on this book greatly, and I think I'll leave
it at that -- I'd rather devote my net.comics time to reviews.  I thought I
had explained why I liked the graphic novel and that I did not find it
trite.  I'll leave the readers to judge.  However, I believe he
misunderstood one statement on my part, due probably to some rambling on my
part.  I mentioned good ol' Sturgeon's Law, i.e. 90% of everything is crap.
I believe (am I correct, Tim?) than Tim felt that I was using that as an
excuse for "God Loves, Man Kills" -- i.e. that it's crap but, heck, almost
everything's crap, right?  Excuse me if it sounded that way; I had put that
in as a salve that there WAS (in my opinion) a lot of crap in the comics
field, around 90% more or less.  I was trying to point out that I agreed
with Tim on the fact that most of comics are crap.  HOWEVER, any comic which
I grade at a C or higher is a comic I feel to NOT be crap, i.e. in the 10%.
I do not feel that GLMK, Thunder Bunny, Swamp Thing, John Sable, and many
others are crap.  I was not trying to make that excuse; it would indeed be
idiotic.  I was just trying to point out that I acknowledge that much of
what's out there IS (to me) crap.

What more can I say?  I liked the story, in particular the end, and didn't
find it trite.  Tim didn't and did, respectively.
