Blue Devil #6: Excellent Abbott & Costello take-off, although now I'm afraid to heat up dins in the microwave. The colouring job was interesting, and the art keeps getting better. I am, however, waiting for that court case to happen. Dan and Sharon's date next issue ought to be 'interesting', also. TTNT : The NTTs meet the DNA...er Recombinants in this issue (Where did 'Surge' go to?). Jericho's characterisation is excellent, and is getting better. The wedding ought to keep things busy for the next few issues. What would *you* suppose is going on with Mr. Dayton? Some how the moral aspect of this issue just didn't sit right with me. Maybe because the 'DNAgent' types exist in another continuum. The story also seemed a bit rushed, not a lot of time in character development. If someone read this who isn't aware of the DNAgents, they might be *very* confused. Then again, we peobably would see something like this at Marvel, it would take them too long for their lawyers to figure out. I'm waiting for the latest DNAgents to come out, so I can see the 'crossover' from their view. Kitty & Wolverine #1: Wolverine doesn't even appear until the last few pages, folks. Kitty may be a genius, but the kid has no common sense whatsoever. Her characterisation here is a *lot* more flakey than that we have seen in the X-Men, or New Mutants. Okay, I know she is upset, but if this was a battle situation, she would have been a greasespot on the floor a long time ago. Isn't that what Professor X has been trying to teach her all along, that she has to keep her head in tight situations? Oh well, maybe next month mwith Wolverene, maybe things will get interesting. Alpha Flight : OH NO!! more subplots!!! more mutants!!! Wolverene shows up!!! I hope that Marinna isn't gone for good, just a few issues or so. Judd/Puck has *got* to be one of the most interesting characters extant. 'worked as an independent', eh? It appears that there is a *lot* more in his background than we have already been given. Wonder Woman : Two Steve Trevors? Oh, $%($#%, the only reason I read this mag is the Huntress stories in the back. Now that the Huntress is in both Infinity Inc., and a soon-to-be-released series, I can dump WW. That's it for this week...
