... he peace he's earned." With the omens aligned and the prophecies in place, it's time for the conclusion to our epic tale, in _Legion of Super-Heroes_ #38. It begins with Superboy's confession. He tells his friends about the red skies of the great Crisis. Inch by inch, his adopted planet was disintegrating while he watched helplessly, until the Time Trapper appeared, with a proposition. Cut to the Time Trapper himself (conveniently located in the Smallville High School gym), who is gloating over the frozen figures of Cosmic Boy, Shadow Lass, Ultra Boy, and Mon-El. Superboy arrives with the apparently frozen remaining Legionnaires and the Trapper o ...

... ------------------------------------------ From: Dave Leigh <dave.leigh SP@G gmail.com> In response to David Cornelson's editorial dated in Issue #38... I think David has thought out his target market well, but I'd like to make one important point: when you redefine your market, you should also redefine your terms. By all means, these works should be sold in bookstores, but they should never be called "programs" or "games". They are BOOKS. Next-generation books, to be sure, but books nonetheless. A famous marketing example comes to mind. The ubiquitous ThighMaster wasn't developed for thighs at all, but was a general-purpose exerciser. It did ...

I retrieved the envelope from the round file and found a '38' inscribed by my name. Woe, sorrow and bye bye $15. The absence of a mailing label caused semantic pain for a few moments.

... #39;m used to receiving my copy on or near the first of the month and here it is, the 5th and no newsletter. My old subscription was good until issue #38. Is this the penalty for sending in my dough too soon? Please send me issue #35 as soon as possible and do what you can to put my name back on the subscriber list." Pierre M., Madison WI We have received letters from folk describing DTACK as their monthly 'fix', Pierre, but we didn't think they were serious. We received your letter on the 8th and your issue #35 went out on the 7th with everybody else's. Next time we get a flu bug maybe we better mail notices? - FNE "P.14 (#35): D ...

And we probably will need a new Eagle keyboard by then. "Regarding your 'deploring' me for not photocopying your newsletter for my 'cohort(s)': I happen to work for this small, Fortune 20(00) outfit whose management is very sensitive about being sued. Said management has pointedly and specifically instructed me not to violate the U.S. copyright laws... in some quarters those laws are almost as highly regarded as those assinine export restriction laws of which you are so chary." ...

... l each episode separately as a monthly comic is beyond me: you'd be far better off buying all three Gunbuster tapes from Kiseki and pocketing the #38.91 change, than shelling out the #71.88 needed to buy all 12 episodes. - Kanji T. Bates Devilman: The Birth Manga Entertainment, 52 mins, #12.99 Without a doubt, Gou Nagai has to be one of my all-time favourite anime/manga creators; and of all his works the two Devilman OAVs (`The Birth' and `Battle of Silene') are appreciated in my eyes as second only to Kekkoh Kamen, and even then: only just. Animation-wise, D:tB is by no means the best example of Japanese animation you'll find ...

... ief-makers at the computer are deliberately endangering data By Philip J. Hilts Washington Post Staff Writer The Washington Post Weekly Edition, Page #38. May 23-29, 1988. Tiny programs that are deliberately cause mischief are epidemic among computers and causing nervousness among those who monitor them. Since the first tests of the notion in 1983 that machines can catch and spread "information diseases," the computer world has reached the point at which as many as thirty instances of "computer virus" have been reported in the past year, affecting tens of thousands of U.S. computers alone. Such viruses have been found at the National Aeronautics ...

... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CoC talks to Satyr of Satyricon (again) by: Paul Schwarz Some of you may recall CoC featuring Satyricon back in #38. Then, _Rebel Extravaganza_ was but a speck on the musical horizon scheduled for completion and subsequent release when the heat of Summer would be fading into memory and the cold of Autumn approaching. It is somehow appropriate that _Rebel Extravaganza_ was unleashed as one season was at the point of turning into another, for it marks not only a new direction for the band but, I would certainly argue, a new era in black metal. A bold statement? Maybe, but certainly if such statements can ever b ...
