I can't find MN 5, and a comics owner told me it was running late . . . was
he in error?

I'm really enjoying Midnight Nation, by the way.  Any B5 fan who's not
reading it is missing out, since I think it shares a lot of the things that
give B5 in its appeal -- the well-constructed plot, the interweaving of a
personal story with a more cosmic conflict, the elements of spirituality,
the social commentary, etc.  (I've posted a review of the series at my
website: http://www.notnews.org/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000012.html, in case
anyone's interested in more info on the series.)  I'm definitely looking
forward to more of the Joe's Comics projects, and hoping the collected
editions will make some inroads to bookstores and other markets that might
not emphasize or consider comics.  At any rate, sounds like 2001's gonna be
an exciting year -- hope it all pans out.  Take care.

(Note to moderators -- I tried to post a similar message a few weeks ago,
but to the best of my knowledge it got devoured and never showed up on the
newgroup.  If I'm wrong, please delete this message.)
