As I did the last batch of reviews at a late hour of the night (that was a
MONTH's worth of comics, not a WEEK's!), I missed one or two.

****************************************************************************
|==>A< One of the best of the year. Example: Byrne/Claremont's Starlord    |
|==>B< A very good issue, one of the best of the month (usually 6/month)   |
|==>C< A well done, entertaining issue.  Satisfying.  Example: Jon Sable   |
|==>D< Rather boring, or a few good spots mixed with more bad ones. Ex:Mars|
|==>E< Boring AND stupid or childish.  Example: Secret Wars.               |
|==>F< Actually offensive.  Example: Several of Haney's UNKNOWN SOLDIERs   |

EPIC #23 (?) [Cerebus: C-; Galactus: Who can tell -- it's so short]

	I enjoyed the Cerebus story, but, hmm, overhype strikes again.

ELFQUEST #20: [A]

	I haven't got much time to review this, but I found this a very
fitting end to the series (21 will be mostly letters; a graphic novel will
be out later in the year).  The first six issues of Elfquest I followed with
a fervor which has rarely been matched in my comics background.  As the
Quest went on I followed it with nothing less than full interest, but the
chill along the back, the moment of suspense, were gone.  They were here --
having Timmarin (sp?) appear was a stroke of genius; I found it both
unexpected and appropriate.  I liked the decisions of all involved, and the
ending wasn't all that cliche.  At any rate, comics owes the Pinis much; I
think, though, that more was given than received with their "last" issue.
