HOLY!

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

I'll admit, that whole convoluted hootenanny sounds way cool in a "sweet crap MORE convoluted hootenanny" way. (And, really, the X-Men is all about convoluted hootenanny, so it slots in nicely.)

http://www.thexaxis.com/reviews/200501.html

Paragraph 3, beginning "Over in subplots", is the one with particular relevance I think...

Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Saturday, 5 March 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

We should vote on which of these should become real stories (I just read through the list again and found at least ten that I would absolutely buy) and then send Marvel a petition. And call ourselves, like, LAMP or something (League of Admirers of Maddy Pryor, obv).

Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 5 March 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)
