Gee Gerry, I think you're right!  I like SW2, too!  (Uh, I mean I like it
better than SW1).  I especially liked when the Beyonder had to use Peter
Parker's bathroom.  Shooter seems to have risen slightly above garbage
level on this one....

Hmmm.  I think I may have reprinted the whole original article--the newsnet
seems to have changed since I last did much posting.  Critics and flamers--
please bear with me......

                                               ...it's one-o-clock and 
                                                  time for lunch.
