* not comics: Andrew Weiss remembers Champions, the super (hero) role-playing game. Like most role-playing games, the idea of it might appeal but the reality of the actual playing seems repulsive.
* finally, I tried to read an X-Men comic today and failed to finish. I think I'm done. It was very far away from something I might find appealing. It was a good run, though, like 40 years where I could read one and at least comprehend how it was signaling a good time.
