<P>I disagree ... just because I can.</P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<P>People were unable to enjoy Groo stories in just one issue because Groo leaves you thirsty for more. The past issues of Groo (the monthly series) never left you hanging if you didn't ready the issues before it ... UNLESS you happened upon Groo during a mini-series that was w/in the long running monthly issues. I have handed single issues of Groo off to my friends (who have never heard of him before) and they think he's the coolest after only reading one comic.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>I think the mini series are just a way to keep Groo alive. Even though we don't see a new issue per month we should be happy that we get to see him at all.<BR><BR></P>
