First, thanks to Steve for posting all this info -- it's great, especially
for people who don't read the trade weeklys like CBG.  I particurlarly like
his choice of interesting comics (plus his witty remarks!).

Integrity lives.  In all honesty, can you see Marvel doing something like
this?  I am getting to be more of a DC supporter every day (however, I still
refuse to read SGT. ROCK.  Sorry, but I eat quiche, and this book just
doesn't mix well with it...)

Moore seems to be quite busy these days, what with this, MIRACLEMAN and his
Unamed Comic.  Well, he seem to be able to produce quality AND quantity...

Much nicer than 25 issues of another comic I could mention.

Again, Steve, thanks much.
