X-MEN: THE 198 #1 Reviewer: Jason Grasso, Desperad07@aol.com Not really...I like butterflies. Writer: David Hine Penciler: Jim Muniz Inker: Kevin Conrad Letterer: VC's Randy Gentile Cover Artist: Juan Doe Assistant Editor: Sean Ryan Associate Editor: Nick Lowe Editor: Mike Marts Editor In Chief: Joe Quesada Published by: Marvel Comics So maybe somebody should think about handing David Hine a major X-title. Hine excels in his second limited series dealing with the fallout from Decimation. (The other being the Quicksilver- centric Son of M.) As far as I can tell, he's the only X-writer really telling the stories that need to be told given the significance of the mass depowering of mutants. Unlike Son of M which dealt with Quicksilver's guilt (and a bit of Spider-Man's feelings regarding what happened in the House of M), The 198 expands the scope to include a multitude of mutants, including a few from Hine's previous X-series District X. The issue starts with a scene set a few days before M-Day. Magma is dining with a mutant named Antonio. They share a love so strong that he persuades her to stay with him instead of returning to the Xavier Institute. They share similar fire-based powers and do what most couples their type would, ride a lava flow into a volcano. Unfortunately, they've chosen to do this on M-Day. He loses his powers in the middle of the volcano and melts into the lava. Hello, Antonio. Goodbye, Antonio. Next we head to Mutant Town. My biggest complaint about the issue is that they don't do a great job describing the less-familiar characters, especially those from District X. It's almost assumed that you, the faithful reader, has read everything Marvel puts out and thus, do not need "catching up." Who is the girl Toad is talking to in the strip club? Who is Lorelei? Who is the Legion- lookalike who puts up the 198 flag and gives its meaning? Sometimes I wonder why Marvel has such an aversion to narration/exposition boxes. The anti-mutant group Purity has attacked Lorelei Travis but soon after Toad comes to the rescue! He takes her to the Xavier Institute, where many mutants are seeking refuge now that they've become an extreme minority in a world suddenly freaked by the events that have transpired since the Scarlet Witch reset the world after the House of M. (In fact, they are being 'encouraged' to go there in what could be viewed at refuge but is implied to actually be internment.) Cyclops and the White Queen are trying to deal with their new visitors as well as a now-psychotic Magma. (Hellions fans will be happy to hear who Emma has sent to retrieve her.) There's a great spread of Toad's chopper arriving admidst the tents set up on Xavier's front lawn, surrounded by mutants and Sentinels. Toad is quickly scurried off to his living quarters with new roommate, the ridiculous Fever Pitch. Karma sees to Lorelei. Cyclops and Emma discuss the meaning of 198 with nameless eyepatch mutant. He references how the Hells Angels touted themselves as the 1% club in response to the declaration that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens. Nobody could know that there are 198 mutants left...it's more of an estimate. A rallying point for wayward mutants. Enter Mr. M. Earlier in the issue Hannah Levy tells the mysterious Mr. M "The mutants need you." He arrives at the estate (after a long walk from the city) and easily disposes of a sentinel. The big cliffhanger? Mr. M stopped the sentinel because it was about to step on a rare caterpillar. Well it's not the most action packed cliffhanger but it really got me interested in this Mr. M. (I know he was a big part of District X and I'm sure some of our intrepid readers will fill in this ignorant reviewer with the rest!) Random question: Hannah calls him Absolom at one point. This was the name of one of the Externals (one of which was killed by Selene in X-Force quite a few years ago). Connection? Or is this some term of endearment in Mutant Town? Hine does a real good job conveying the chaos and confusion surrounding Decimation. Even though some of the characters were unfamiliar, their plight wasn't. This is what many of us have been looking for after House of M ended. Most of these mutants aren't good enough to be on the A-list, heroic enough to be an X- Man, or flashy enough to be on the covers of a Marvel comic book. But in the face of the tragedy, it is their stories that are more intriguing to read about than the exploits of the priveleged, insulated mutants. Muniz' art was up and down. His action scenes look really sharp. The frame with Mr. M and the toppled Sentinel is a really great image. Most of the scenes at the Institute are dynamic as is the whole sequence in the volcano. But he's got an odd way of drawing women, particularly their necks and hair. (Take a look at Magma on the first page!) It's drastic enough to take away from the overall look. (Especially given the amount of female characters who play key roles in this issue.) Special mention must be given to this title's cover artist, Juan Doe. We've seen these covers in solicits for quite a few months now. His magnificent propaganda-style art is such a departure from the interior art and from what we've typically seen on the cover of a Marvel comic. And there is a reason they've gone with this style, something only hinted at in the interior pages. It looks like the 198 will be at the center of a firestorm that's brewing, right on Xavier's front lawn. If Marvel actually takes this to a logical conclusion, that estimate could drop much lower than 198. ART: 3.5 STORY: 4.5 OVERALL: 4.0 _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- COMICS OBSCURA Mike Curtis shandafa@cyberback.com [COMICS OBSCURA are facts Mike Curtis has dug out during his 30 years of collecting Superman and writing about comics.

While MEET THE PRESS and some other ventures have some claim to being the longest running television series, the champ HAS to be the soap opera THE GUIDING LIGHT. It's still on CBS, but it started on RADIO in 1937, and was originally about a minister in a small town. 69 years is quite a run, but another CBS soap, THE EDGE OF NIGHT, has the oddest history behind its leap to television from radio. It ran on CBS radio and television for years before finishing its run on ABC, but was not originally under that name on radio. There, it was PERRY MASON. The drama about the crusading attorney had become a soap through the years, and the show's producers wanted to take it to TV. Creator Earl Stanley Gardner wanted instead to have a different production of MASON, so the show simply changed the name of the attorney to MIKE KARR and it made its TV debut as THE EDGE OF NIGHT. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [10] Multiverse Observer and Explorer Reviews Paul Dale Roberts Silhouet98@cs.com http://www.jazmaonline.com [Paul promotes amateur and professional comic book artwork, scripts, storylines, and unpublished comic books with a newsletter called the Peoples' Comic Book Newsletter.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Name: Jack London's The Call of the Wild - The Graphic Novel Publisher: Puffin Graphics/Penguin Young Readers Group Adapted by: Neil Kleid Illustrated by: Alex Nino Email: jessica.michaels@us.penguingroup.com Comments: In case your teacher never made you read this classic in grade school, now here is your chance. For people that have read the classic, you know the basics. The hero of the story is a dog named Buck. Buck is pampered by his wealthy master. Later he is sold as a sled dog. Buck finds himself in the Yukon and working with cruel masters. He escapes captivity and becomes a legend. He is the most feared and admired dog in the arctic. The artwork in this graphic novel is clear and precise. The artwork has plenty of details. In the story there are men who want dogs with muscles and large coats to keep out the Winter's chill. Buck once ruled over his master's domain. Judge Miller kept Buck in leisure. Buck ruled over the other dogs that belonged to the Judge, from pugs to terriers. Yes, Buck was the Lord of his Domain. He even hunted with the Judge's sons and looked over the Judge's daughters. Then one day, Buck's life takes a nose dive, he is sold by the gardner's helper to a vicious man. A man so vicious he chokes Buck where Buck loses his breath and submits to this new cruel master. From being sold in a San Francisco saloon, Buck finds himself in a crate headed for parts unknown. Buck is caged like a wild animal. When Buck reaches the Yukon, he is beaten with a club. Buck retaliates fiercely. But, Buck learns that the master with the club has the upper hand and has control over him. Buck endures grueling tasks. When Buck finally does escape, he becomes a thing of the wild. The wolves see him as the leader. Buck does many heroic endeavors and he becomes a legend and the talk of everybody. For a dog, Buck sees a lot, he sees the death of his fellow sled dogs, he sees the death of many people. Buck befriends the wolves and again becomes the Lord of his Domain. Jack London's The Call of the Wild - The Graphic Novel is a real page turner, rich and vivid, eventful and gripping! This book should be sitting on your personal library shelf! Name: Ghost Hunt Vol 1 Publisher: Del Rey/Ballantine Books Manga by: Shiho Inada Story by: Fuyumi Ono Price: $10.95 Comments: A decrepit building that once was a high school is condemned. When the owners try to tear it down, accidents happen. People get hurt, people get killed. Mai Taniyama and her friends hear that the old high school is haunted. They believe that this high school is haunted by ghosts of WWII. (Does that mean Captain America's sidekick Bucky haunts this school? Hmmmm....) One day Mai and her friends gather at the school to tell ghost stories. When they get there, something surprising happens, they meet Kazuya Shibuya - the owner of Shibuya Psychic Research Center. They also meet his friends: an exorcist, a Buddhist Monk, a woman ghost whisperer and a Shinto Priest. These kids will experience something so bizarre, so strange, their lives may change forever. The story is excellent, the artwork is very bland. I just want to ask Mai one thing...'when you find ghosts in the neighborhood...who are you going to call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Name: Full Metal Panic! 07 Publisher: ADV Manga Story by: Shouji Gatou Art by: Retsu Tateo Price: $9.99 Comments: Lunches disappear. Clothes are torn to shreds in the halls of Jindai High School. Oh no do we need GHOSTBUSTERS again? Wait, instead of Ghostbusters, we have a gun totin' investigator looking into things, his name is Sosuke. Sosuke has hidden talent, he is a synchronized swimmer. Aquaman & Prince Namor move aside and let Sosuke do his thing! Sosuke, an underwater soldier faces off with Kaname's grandfather, an ex- military man. This undercover student now has his hands full! In this action packed story, students get tied up, they think there is a terrorist plot going on. The artwork is superbly done and you get as much action in this story, as the movie "Wes Craven's Red Eye". Name: Jiffy Lube Man #1 Publisher: Crazy Eye Comics Writer and Artist: Otgon Lkhashid Price: $7.00 Comments: Found this independent comic book at Tower Books. Jiffy Lube Man works at.you guessed it.Jiffy Lube. He is dating some girl that works at Jiffy Lube and discovers that one of the male employees is having an affair with his girlfriend and he catches both of them in the bathroom in an intimate position. He brandishes a gun and using masking tape, ties them both up together. He is precise in getting both of their heads lined up and then uses the masking tape to connect around his hand and uses more masking tape to place on the trigger, his trigger finger and to his own neck. The SWAT team arrives and he informs the SWAT team that if he is shot in the head, his head will go back in a jerking motion and the tape around his neck to his trigger finger will shoot the gun and the bullet will penetrate both hostages who are also connected to his gun by tape. After long negotiations, one SWAT cop finally gets the bright idea when the opportunity arises and shoots his hand off. I failed to mention Jiffy Lube Man also was wearing a bullet proof vest, so shooting him in the chest would have failed and he also looked ridiculous in his Jiffy Lube T-Shirt and the placing of motor oil around his face - darkening his face. When the SWAT Team move in on their kill and to free the hostages, they find a post-it on the window, it reads: "Enjoy our coffee and while you wait you merely have a few seconds before this place blows!" The story ends with a huge explosion. One for the Jiffy Lube Man. The artwork was very mediocre and this comic book is NOT worth $7.00. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- COMICS OBSCURA Mike Curtis shandafa@cyberback.com [COMICS OBSCURA are facts Mike Curtis has dug out during his 30 years of collecting Superman and writing about comics. His website for his comic imprint is www.shandafantasyarts.net ] DAGNABIT LITTLE LUKE I DON'T LIKE IT WALTER BRENNAN had to be cajoled into doing the series THE REAL McCOYS. He detested doing the character of Grandpa, even though it brought him more fame than his years of acting in films as well as a hit record. The last year of the series, there was a general housecleaning of cast members, as Luke lost his younger brother (Little Luke) sister (Hassie) and wife (Kate) and became a widower. This left more screen time for Brennan (who did not want it) and the series soon closed. He tried to make a comeback in another comedy THE TYCOON, but it failed quickly. The last TV series he would headline was the western THE GUNS OF WILL SONNETT for two seasons. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [11] My View David LeBlanc ComicBkNet@aol.com http://members.aol.com/comicbknet David LeBlanc is the Editor of the Comic Book Network Electronic Magazine; which won the prestigious Eagle Award for Favorite Comic Book Ezine in 2001.

TRICKED 352 pages, black & white, 6-1/2 x 9-5/8", Graphic Novel, $19.95 MATURE READERS (18+) by Alex Robinson http:\\members.aol.com\ComicBookAlex Top Shelf Productions www.topshelfcomix.com This book is fantastic! Alex Robinson is a master storyteller. He really gets the all the basics of plot, character development, pacing and everything else that matters. Not only that but his art compliments the script so well they just blend naturally. He had a story to tell and he crafted it with just so many characters and just so many scenes in the right order to bring them all together in one climatic moment. It is not just the ending that is satisfying but the journey there. This is primarily about six people that are fated to cross paths for different reasons. There is Ray the rock star who has had glory and earned lots of money but is in a dry spell creatively. His part of the story is told from his perspective. He signs an autograph that will set things in motion changing the lives of the rest. There is Nick who lives two lives. He tells his wife he is an accountant but he really works at a sports collectible store where his primary responsibility is to forge autographs for his Russian boss. He begins to take chances with the company profits and a change in plans occurs when he meets another major character, Caprice. Caprice is a waitress in a diner run my two gay men. Her story is one of unsatisfying relationships with men who treat her badly until she is afraid to try again. A local bartender comes into her life and it seems too good to be true. Will she drop him for slick Nick when he makes a play? Phoebe is the daughter of Richard, one of Caprice's bosses. She has come in search of the father she thought was dead for most of her life. Without telling her remarried mother, she has travelled far to find the man who runs a diner and find some answers. Lily is an temp worker at a talent agency. She has been using an autosign to duplicate Ray's signature on fan photos but broke the machine. Just by luck Ray is leaving with his agent and she asks him to sign the last one for her. This would get her in trouble for bothering the talent but Ray is so taken with her he asks her to lunch and their lives will never be the same. It turns out that picture, on which Ray doodled a mustache and goatee will be sent to the final major character, Steve. Steve, who also narrates his own sections of the plot, is a cranky, middle-aged man who is on medication. He has no real friends and complains, in his head, about almost everything. His visit to the music store tells us a lot about his personality and, oh yes, he is a fan of Ray and his old band, The Tricks. The autographed photo sets him on a path that will collide with all the other characters. He is the person who resolves the plot but Lily is the pivotal character. With so many pages to tell their stories, Alex takes his time to weave an intricate story. He moves from person to person as each subplot develops. Lily becomes Ray's new assistant, much to the anger of his current assistant. Rick decides to pocket some money from the company safe and skim from sales when the boss is not around, Phoebe almost leaves rather than face her father for the first time, Steve stops taking his meds and begins to obsess about the photograph. Each moves at a pace that keeps us interested in what is going on as the scene changes to the next. The characters are real people, they act like people really act. They are not all beautiful or desirable though most of them are people we would like to know, but not all of them. As you get deeper into it you want to go faster, it grabs you until the end as the plots spiral together in masterful fashion. It is something anyone can enjoy and appreciate from an Eisner Award winner. Rating: I don't "do" ratings.

He was JOE YULE JR, son of a vaudevillian. His mother heard that one of the numerous movie producers was going to film TOONERVILLE TROLLEY, focusing on the kids in an effort to get some of the OUR GANG audience. She slicked down his blonde hair with black shoe polish and he got the job of the lead kid, MICKEY MCGUIRE. Later on the producer decided to cheat TOONERVILLE creator Fontaine Fox out of royalties by having Joe change his name legally to Mickey McGuire so he would be "playing himself." Before the talkies hit big, the series ended, and young Joe changed his new last name to ROONEY and began a comeback. Later on, he got his dad film work too as a comic strip character. Joe Yule Sr. played JIGGS in the Columbia two reeler series of BRINGING UP FATHER. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [12] TOP 100 COMICS FOR DEC 2005 Diamond Comics Diamond's top 300 list each month reports totals for the products that have shipped and billed for the month before.
