(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....
