Where have you been the last 20 years?!? The only really funny comics around these days are E-MAN and CEREBUS. Sorry, but the term just doesn't apply. As to what we could discuss, why the possibilities are endless. For example: 1. Why is Marvel going down the tubes? 2. Are the Alternatives really alternative? 3. What is/should be the place/responsiblity of the fan press? 4. Why does Gary Groth persist in publishing his magazine when he hates comics? 5. Why is an incompetent boob like Bill Mantlo apparently given free rein to carry on the way he does? Now, I have a feeling that not everyone here really cares about any of these burning issues. However, I can tell by browsing the net that there are lots of fans out there somewhere. Hope we hear from them, joanne
