[gurps] Slightly off-topic, but a correction

[midnightwind at comcast.net]

Just got those comic DVDs in the mail today.  Looks like they only go through 2005, not 2006.
Boy, those early comics were goofy... strange reading some of them as an adult.  Interesting to see how the world politics and issues and tech levels influenced the stories, too.  Anyway, just wanted to correct previous info.

It sort of goes to Powers... at least I intend to look at some of the comic characters and model them in GURPS.
