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

CLIP AND SAVE!
--------------------
MAXIMUM PRESS:
==============
Priest #1 (Liefeld/Napton & Pajarillo). Perhaps he should meet
Larsen's GOD(tm). But perhaps more likely will be Jae Lee's Hell-
shock, who may sue him for stealing his facial tattoo. "Priest" is
(tm) and (c) Rob Leifeld, which may lead a certain someone to con-
sider changing his name again...

Asylum #7 has Liefeld's Bloodwulf, Marder's Beanworld, and Simpson's
Megaton Man.

MOJO PRESS:
===========
Blueberry Saga: Confederate Gold TP (Moebius). Reprinting Moebius's
Western strips.

NEW ENGLAND COMICS:
===================
Tick Society Deluxe Mystic Order of Arachnid Vigilance Kit. Includes
the TSDMOoAV Handbook and fun widgets. $14.95.

SPUD PRESS:
===========
Spud #1 (Baxter). Xeric award winner Art Baxter's comic of zany and
slightly sexual comics in a bigfooty, KAZ-like style.

TOPPS:
======
X-Files Annual #2 (Rozum & Adlard). Written by former Xombi scribe John
Rozum. Expect the unusual.

ULTIMATE CREATIONS:
===================
Warrior #4 (Hellwig & Callahan). You know, I truly believe that Ultimate
Warrior Jim Hellwig thinks he is the next L. Ron Hubbard. Or at least the
next Tony Robbins. Anyone with me?


META: games, toys, books, etc.
=======================
Books: White Wolf publishes Harlan Ellison's City on the Edge of Forever
script.

Toys: The Hulk gets his own line, with Abomination, Leader, She-Hulk,
and the Gray, Green and Savage varieties of the big boy. Interesting
additions to other marvel lines include Dr. Strange, Sugar Man, Black
Cat, Dark Beast, and a Hydro Man you gotta see to believe. Mars Attacks!
toys (from the Tim Burton film) are coming.

Card Games: X-Files, Anime Madness, Star Trek (original series game from
Fleer/Mag Force 7)

Expansions: Q Continuum (Star Trek NG), Masks of Nyarlathotep (Mythos),
Necropolis Park (Guardians), Sim City Atlanta, Traditions (Gridiron),
Legacy of the Tribes (Rage).

RPGs: West End gets in on generic GURPS-style sytems with "D6."
