Remember, though, if you bought SW, you have no one but yourself to blame. Don't repeat your mistake! I didn't even buy the first series, even though I do read X-Men and Iron Man, and was at the time it came out reading FF, Spider-titles, and Captain America. No, I didn't feel like I was missing anything, and I have no intention of buying back issues. What I don't understand is why anyone would feel obligated to support this dreck. The continuity with other titles is just a cynical sales ploy. According to Marvel, the tie-ins to this idiocy will be far more intimate. They know how to sell to fans. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University Computation Center ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
