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...<BR> <BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE> <div>I don't think either Mark or Sergio would be bothered by any criticism that is thoughfully presented. They are both professional enough that I don't think we have to tiptoe around them and ALWAYS be worshipful, LOL. In fact, I think Mark would respect fans more
who expressed their likes and dislikes openly and honestly, we're not about to hurt his feelings.</div> <div> </div> <div>I enjoy the hell out of the new stuff, but I would agree that the Epic run was a lot lighter and sillier. I think it's inherent in the mini-series format, it gets them thinking a little more "deeply" since it is a four issue arc, so there needs to be a unifying "Grand Idea."</div> <div> </div> <div>That's why when they were tossing around the idea a few years back of a Groo 12-issue Friends and Foes series that featured 12 stand alone issues, I was REALLY excited. I would love to see them go back to that idea, since I think it frees them up for more idle silliness, rather than feeling like they have to make a grand statement in a four isue arc.<BR><BR><BR></div><BR><BR>-Larry "mrgrooism" Steller, Master Mendicant <BR><BR>"<STRONG><EM>I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.</EM></STRONG>" Edgar Allan Poe
