Subject: PREVIEWS-O-RAMA I. Aardvark-Dark Horse for 1996 July (spoilers)

Oy, I just read the *** ******, and it's about twice as long as the
actual *********, which at this point only mentions ** anyway and
was completely wrong in announcing Batman/Spawn II. It was just a
resolicitation for a poster. There is no Batman/Spawn II.
I have this mental image of folks keeping the *** ****** beside
them as they read ********, so they know which pages not to look at.
"Whoa, it says there's a **** **** on page 14! Better turn over 2
pages at once so I don't see it!"
