Gee, I don't recall that G-S A #4 was all that bad (for those of you who don't remember that far back, it featured Mantis' marriage to a plant), though it cer- tainly won't go down in the annals of comic book history as a Classic. Now SHE- HULK #1 was *really* bad --- in fact, it was the worst comic I can remember ever reading until the Dazzler graphic novel came along. > The artwork (in Xmen) was intended to resemble that of Trina Robbins, and it > did so.

Why Leialoha (or anyone) would want the art to resemble Trina Robbins' is beyond me. I don't care for her stuff at all. > By the way, did anyone notice that Claremont has lost the ability to tell > how much power a person has?

It seemed to me that that restriction on her powers came totally out of left field. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
