<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>1 - You mean these guys are still making
Groos ? Damn, like I really gotta leave Saudi Arabia and find me a comic shop
......</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>2 - Personally it all went downhill after
the secret messages left the series. While I appreciate the additional time
involved with that is a pressure cooker on already heavy work/family schedules
for Sergio and Mark I really miss em. Last time I got new Groos, I read em, then
went back later and read em again looking for secret messages, because I reckon
that if Mark and Sergio maintained for 15 odd years that there were no messages
BUT there were - now that would be funny.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>The stories in 4 parters, are better for
this day and age. Sergio and Mark can commit to a 4 parter as there schedules
permit and get it published which is more Groo for us, whereas the standalones
would not get done as a regular run is not what our fave people are in to these
days. I do like the extra scope that the 4 parter allows for, and each one is
like collecting a new set of Groo, with a new #1 issue - I think there's a tired
gag of Marks on that topic somewhere ...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>While casual rewading of the back issues
means that stand alone comics have better appeal, as you can just pick 1 up and
read it and be done, but sales are not made on back issue re-reading by fans who
ALREADY own em, a 4 parter allows for the reader to be drawn into the plot and
be interested to buy the next issue - especially if it is a max of 4 issues.
(Someone tell that idea to the X-Men publishers - sheesh !!!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>Quality of the stories told now are as
good as ever, quality of the printable palettes available now is higher so we
get better images I reckon.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I've got some questions for some of you fine folks. I realize
that ME is a part of the list, which is great... but it seems there are
certain things we don't discuss here because of his presence. Perhaps he can
skip this thread altogether.<BR> <BR>1. 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. Am I
the only one who sees them as heavy handed and not as fun as "classic"
Groo?<BR> <BR>2. How do you rate the 4-part stories against the old stand
alone issues? What are the plusses/minuses of either
format?<BR> <BR>-Al <BR>
