<Ever played "Secret Wars" backward at 78 rpm? It says "I buried Marvel"> Well I just made one of the biggest blunders of my life--I bought Marvel's latest graphic novel. I figured I could put up with Springer and Coletta's art, and Dazzler's mutanthood being announced to the world at large seemed like an interesting plotline. Boy, was I wrong! Lousy plot, lousy characterization, uneven artwork. We see a Dazzler we've never seen before, and one I hope we never see again. She goes home at night and admires herself in the mirror, nude yet, when she gets upset or lonely; she falls for one of the most blatantly phony Hollywood types imaginable, announces to the world she's a mutant just to promote a movie, etc. etc. ad nauseum. Such REALISM! Was I surprised? Naw.... By now you should be able to identify the author of this masterpiece--none other than the (in)famous Jim Shooter, of course. Now that's REALLY 'nuff said, SJBerry

Ever played "New Mutants" backward at 78 rpm? It says "Chris is dead"...
and they're right!!
{...OK, Moran, go off the editor-in-chief... "Hssssss"}
I'm afraid Shooter is a Lectroid from Planet 10 (his first name used
to be John...).
