Washington, Computer Sci Lines: 26 Very good to include old Dominic.... I'd almost forgotten about him... but what all this brouhaha about the outsidesrs being the worst team? Have you taken a look at the JLA lately? The defenders? GARBAGE!!! Mike Barr is finally taking the Batman where he belongs, and since he is one of the best writers at any "House of Ideas" (sneer), I hardly think you're doing justice to him. I hate to defend Chris Claremont.... there is no argument that he has gone off on some of his views to a bizarre level, but he still has done some things which make his characters atractive. I still find Kurt and Wolverine extremely interesting characters... Rogue also. Yes, my teeth knash occasionally when Claremont puts in one of his cutesy sililoquies (everyone is so damn noble), but hell, this IS a comic book... you're suppose to have noble people... In summary, I don't think Claremont is bad... he's just getting old. I mean, if we're talking REALLY bad scripters, what about Bob Haney.... you ever read any of his B&B stuff.... Argh.
