	The Comics Buyer's Guide dated October 11 ran an article
on Epic's imminent cancellations.  Starstruck will end with issue
#6, Timespirits with #8, and Sisterhood of Steel with issue #8.
To quote:
	"The titles are creator-owned projects and will
	not necessarily be terminated, but these issues
	are their last from the Marvel Comics Group."

	I infer from this that:  first, the plots probably
won't be wrapped up.  Second, it seems the Marvel doesn't
like to share profits, even if they didn't generate them!
Third, these people must be crazy to cancel these titles!
Why oh why would they cancel these excellent books?  Is
Shooter the Editor-in-Chief of the Epic line as well?

	I only hope that one of the independents pick up
at least Starstruck and Timespirits.
