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

CLIP AND SAVE!
--------------------
MAXIMUM PRESS:
==============
Not much, but Liefeld has the rights to publish The Six Million Dollar
Man and The Bionic Woman, and plans a new comic called Priest. Actually
seeing the words "Priest is tm and (c) Rob Leifeld" is rather jarring.

SIRIUS:
=======
Sirius has a web site: http://www.insv.com/sirius

SLAVE LABOR/AMAZE INK:
======================
Kid Blastoff #1 (Dyer/Dorkin). Manic sci-fi from Dorkin & Dyer. Not
sure if this reprints the strips from Disney Adventures or if it's
new stuff.

Hummingbird (G. Benton). An 11-year old girl deals with her mentally 
ill mother and shady father. 

Money Talks (S. Simmons). Creator of last year's Longshot Comics tells
the hidden story behind the pictures on your currency.

Bluebeard TPB (James Robinson & Phil Eliott). A serial killer is hunted
across Europe. Hmm, no, that doesn't do it justice. Just buy it!

W.O.W.! ENTERTAINMENT:
======================
Universal Police Divisions:Star Police #1. I'm presuming sometime r.a.c.er
Wayne Wong is involved here? No mention is made of what actual human beings
are doing this comic, but the ad attempts to trademark at least 36 names/
concepts/properties, including IT(tm)!

META: games, toys, books, etc.
=======================
Card Games: New games- Arcadia: The Wild Hunt. Based on White Wolf's
Changeling RPG.
Expansions: Alliances (M:tG), A New Hope (Star Wars), Highlander 
Movie Edition, Highlander Watcher's Chronicle, Sim City New York, 
Sim City Washington DC.

Cancellations: Casual Heroes is apparently gone, as is Foot Soldiers.
