The two I pointed out are the only examples of changes that are still in effect (since Spider-Man now uses an imitation of his black outfit, and only part-time, I don't feel that that counts for much). And while Peter and Kitty are no longer avoiding each other like the plague, their relationship is hardly back to the way it used to be. they may have decided to becomes friends again, but I'm not sure how long it'll take them to become lovers (emotionally, not physically) again, if indeed they ever do. And while Jenny may be having her problems in the Microverse, she is *still* a solid member of the FF, and will be staying that way for at *least* a year. From what I've heard, the Thing will be the new surprise member of the West Coast Avengers. The AMAZING HEROES PREVIEW SPECIAL #1 mentions, in the entry on FF, that the Thing will make a re-appearance in FF #296, but nothing is said about whether he'll rejoin. Quite frankly, I was never that found of the Thing, and I like the way that Byrne is handling Jenny, so the current status quo is fine by me. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
