I'm wondering what some of your actual opinions are regarding the quality of the Groo stories since the guys moved to Dark Horse. Compared in particular to the Epic run.

I think the newer ones ARE a little more preachy than the Epic's.. but you have to keep in mind that Mark and Sergio are really, really old now. I mean VERY old. Like "Pappy, tell me a story about the good old days" old.. and that's just how old men are. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div class="hmmessage" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; ">2.
