But then I remember the sole reason Marvel does this (as I see it) is to sell more comics--get kids who buy X-MEN or ROM to pick up THOR (as if they don't already). Granted, I buy the above three books (though why I put up with Avengers these days I don't know), so I'm not too affected, but I'd still like to be able to pick up a comic and fully appreciate the story without having to buy the last 8 issues or issues from 3 or 4 other titles.... RAMBLINGS: On another note, I just obtained all the Dreadstar issues (Epic Comics) as well as the Graphic Novel...Fantastic!! I especially like Syzygy. Does anyone out there know of any plans to reprint the Metamorphosis Odessey series from Epic Illustrated? What are your opinions on Dreadstar? I really enjoyed the latest Alpha Flight--Byrne did (DOES!) a superb job telling a story without words--The way Logan appeared at the funeral really captured his character; this is just how I would expect him to act/appear. The LSH Baxter book looks good (love the logo), and I'm anxious to see the revamped Super-Villains (no spoiler here--you see Lightning Lord right at the beginning). ________________________________________________________________________ AAAAAAO O O BO O O BO O O BO O O BO O O BOD_OD_OD_AO O O AO O O AO O O O BO O O BO O O BOD_OD_OD_AO O O AO O O O BO O O BOD_OD_OD_AO O O O BOD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OSOJOBOeOrOrOyOD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OD_OD
