...And if you are not going to objectively review it, then I advise that you not review it at all. ...You want boring comics, books that aren't worth their price, then try reading DC's stuff. Everytime I see a DC comic, I want to regurgitate! Who gives a damn about DC characters? I certainly don't! They have all the depth of a low-tide in the Dead Sea. I'm pleased to see that you're so OBJECTIVE about DC. That last sentence or two is at least as scathing as some of the comments concerning your own beloved Secret Wars (probably more so). For the record, I don't think SW is all that bad (I'm beginning to think there's something on that planet which is causing everyone to act so contrary to their "normal" natures--that or Shooter doesn't read his own comics.) I do enjoy seeing so many characters interacting in one comic, though I'm distressed at the persecution (self-inflicted?) the X-Men are experiencing. Back to your original comment about DC: pick up a copy of Teen Titans any time in the last 3 years? Legion of Super-Heroes? Camelot 3000? Batman? (How can you objectively say Batman has no depth? He may not always be a favorite or a big seller, but I've never heard anyone accuse him of having no depth.) ...Well, to each their own... SJBerry

<peer pressure made me type this> Here, here!!! DC is now producing comics that consistantly outshine those of Marvel. I am very happy with the quality of the new DC comics. These are as good or better than the best of Marvel. For characterization and complex continuity, The New Teen Titans rivals The X-Men/New Mutants which I believe to be the best of Marvel's titles. I've been a DC fan since way back. About 2/3 of the titles I buy each month are DC. While some of the titles Marvel puts out are ones that are worth reading, most aren't; and the average DC title is better than the average Marvel. As for Mythadventures, I read it and enjoyed it a lot. Having read the books, I am somewhat predjudiced. I don't like the Foglio art as much as the Freas (sp?) covers of the first two boks. I sat down and compared the comic to the first 4 or so chapters and the adaption is very good. The book starts slowly, so I encourage everyone to stick with it. Once again, I promise to post some reviews "Real Soon Now" (being a college student is tough, not like working in the real world). :-) b**2 brad@maryland ARPA brad@umcp-cs CSNET {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!brad UUCP
