Message-ID: <261@pucc-k> Date: Sat, 18-Aug-84 15:05:06 EDT Article-I.D.: pucc-k.261 Posted: Sat Aug 18 15:05:06 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 20-Aug-84 00:37:33 EDT Organization: Purdue University Computing Center Lines: 58 (ri-i-i-i-p-p-p!) DNAgents: Well, we get to see the other side of the Teen Titans/DNAgents story. I think that the characterisations were much better on the DC side. Not much time was spent on the 'Project:Youngblood' group's background, although their point of entry in the story was essentially the same. Of course, to save continuity, the P:Y people get offed at the end of the story. Note: Has anyone seen the Surge mini-series? It hasn't arrived in the midwest wastelands yet... Infinity: Two more months to go, and then this story line is finished. Finally. I'm beginning to get a *little* tired of this one. I can see what is trying to be done, though, we're getting a *lot* of character development along with the biffs and bangs. Also, Wildcat (Yeah!!!) is in this issue. I always liked the character, and I'm glad they dragged him out of retirement (remember that story a few years back?) for the new stories from Earth-2. C.A. : This is a 300th issue? OK, the Red Skull is dead until the next time they need to resurrect him, and everything else seems to have worked out for the best (except that Cap is a lot older), but I had hoped that this issue would wrap things up. I mean, THIS IS THE 300th ISSUE!!!! I DON'T WANT WARMED OVER OATMEAL FOR THE 300th ISSUE!!! (*sigh*) G.L. : 'But, you're not the G.L. I interviewed a few weeks ago.' Um, yeah. Hal Jordan finds out who got the ring (and was it really in any doubt?), and we find out that Ferris Aircraft will still get trashed out for the next few million issues or so. Muties : Gee, I almost enjoyed this issue. Maybe I'm just a sucker for Disney stories. I see we have yet another sub-plot about Rahne and Roberto getting their genes re-scrambled back with Cloak and Dagger in the MTU annual (I think). Let's hope that we don't have to wait for ten years or so for this one to be worked through.... Alpha : Well, Heather is the new leader, Aurora gets *her* genes rescrambled, and we get to see where Wolverine changed his costume back from the one he got in outer space (and wasn't that a looooong time ago). Actually, if I wasn't sure that Shooter would get his hands on it and destroy it, a mini series with Puck and Wolverine would be most welcome. Iceman : Speaking of trashed out mini-series....*sigh* Was it just the bunch that were sent out here, or were all the copies of this issue badly printed? It was just on a few pages, but it made it very hard to look at. The rest of the issue was just a set-up for the other issues...deadly boring. Apparently the people at Marvel think that having parental units of different religious persuasions is a good enough reason for any number of neurosies... Hmm.. that's it for this week....
