[Groop]Some comic reviews...

[Ruben Arellano]

Groo Death & Taxes #1:
Wow!  What an excellent first chapter.  That Morose character is really 
cool.  The story flowed really nicely, the dialogue was especially 
witty, and Sergio's art seems get better every issue.  And the colours 
-- wow!

Jingle Belle's All-Star Holiday Hullabaloo (ok, it's a couple year's 
old, but I finally got a copy):
Jingle Belle is a really fun character, and the "Belle's Bells" story by 
Mark/Sergio/Stan is great fun, especially with all the sexy Santa's!  I 
was sure surprised at some of the dialogue though... is it just me or do 
lines like "Don't you have a little something to stick in my pot?" and 
"I sure wish I could go down YOUR chimney this year." sound like ones 
Eric would slap us with a fine for?

Comic Con International Update #1:
On page 4, there's a photo of Sergio at his booth at Wondercon 2001 - 
any Groopies in there?  And on page 37, there's a photo of the Groo 
costume by Buck and Lin Steele that won $200 from Dark Horse at CCI 2001.  

Until next time America,

Ruben.
