They would make fine Christmas gifts - or any other kind of gift you might choose to give. He has mostly Dark Horse, but there are a few Topps issues, as well. I also talked to him about the future of a revived Xena comic. There are 3 different groups of stories in any comics house: the works-in-progress, the active consideration and the dead pile. Dark Horse currently has a three-issue miniseries in the active pile. It may not ever happen, but at least it isn't dead yet. According to my dealer's contact, Dark Horse received a large number of letters/e-mails about the comic and is well aware there is interest in some sort of revival. That is what has kept it on the back-burner, so to speak. It wouldn't hurt to contact Dark Horse again if you want to see a miniseries. As for the free comic, contact me privately for details. bd ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

In one scene, one of The Tick's superhero buddies, Captain Liberty goes to the dry cleaner's to pick up her costume, and she runs into another one of her superhero friends, who is dressed in an almost exact replica of Xena's armor and leathers. We never get to hear that hero's name, and no spoken reference is made to Xena, but it can't be anybody else's costume. :) I thought it was pretty funny ... ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth "an eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" -- mahatma gandhi ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Princess...Tramp" might be one the best on performances ever on TV! Three characters who look alike, dressed alike, not saying anything. And just by body language the audience could tell who was who. I was so amazed when I first saw that episode, I couldn't laugh. I was just staring at the screen with my mouth open. In a just universe, that performance alone would have gotten her a Emmy nomination. Who won that year? GIllian Anderson. I guess, I missed the silent multiple Scullys X-Files episode. ;~) (grumble, grumble, razenfrazen ;~) However, I admit I did laugh even more heartily during, "Warrior... Priestess... Tramp." I had read somewhere before I saw the episode that she made up the characterization of the Priestess on the spot. About five minutes into the intro of that character, I has a sudden inspirational guess, "Oh, my God. She's doing one of the nuns she knew growing up." Anyone else think that? ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Miller" Subject: [chakram-refugees] New NZ series staring Jay Laga'aia Has anyone here from OZ or NZ seen "Street Legal?" And is it any good? I read about it a few months ago in Variety. There are 26 episodes and it takes place in inner-city Auckland. (I imagine there would be a lot of familiar Xena faces on the show.) The spin to the article was that this was a great victory for NZ TV, because, NZ has such a hard time getting into the Australian TV market. But I guess the show was sold easily to OZ TV, since Jay is a Australian TV star, because of "Water Rats." (Another TV series, I've never seen! :~) So, is it worth a tape ring? :~) ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
