Everything contained herein is IMO. Duh, 'cuz I wrote it.


CLIP AND SAVE!
--------------------
MAXIMUM PRESS:
==============
Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1 of 3 (Liefeld/Napton & 
Gomez). Maybe this time he won't get marooned on some god-
foresaken planet for a change. There's a BG TPB of the first
miniseries.

Sisters of Mercy #1 (Rockett & M. Williams). Bad Girl Sci-fi
written by a member of the "metal" band Poison.

Asylum #1 (various). Anthology featuring Galactica, "..Tap"
(S. Platt's creator-owned strip), Warchild (pencilled by Art
Adams), and Beanworld. Yes, I have read the other posts com-
menting on this, and they make me happy in the same way that
Sean Erin and the Spider-Clone make me happy.

NBM:
====
Confessions of a Cereal Eater HC (Maisch & various). The silly
and bizarre childhood of Rob Maisch, as adapted by Bo & Scott 
Hampton, Sandy Plunkett, Ray Lago, and others.

Penthouse Comix #12 features the return of Richard Corben's
"Den."

SIRIUS:
=======
Akiko on the Planet Smoo #1 (Crilley). All-ages charmer about 
a schoolgirl's adventure on an alien world. Reminded me of
My Neighbor Totoro or Laputa.

SLAVE LABOR:
============
Little Mister Man #2. Full-length comic by minicomics 
legend James Kochalka, Superstar. Now on its second issue, wow.

TOPPS:
=======
James Bond: GoldenEye #1 of 3 (McGregor & St. Aubin).

VIZ:
====
Ranma 1/2 Part Five #1 (Takahashi).

Dark Horse Presents.

to the final revision, plus afterword comments from various
and sundry Trek writers and actors.

ean Gates), Powersurge (Marvel OP), and War of the Amazon 
(Rage).
