- I find the two month time span between issues too long to keep a high
- suspense story like Albedo going. Stories like "A Day with the Felnas"
- (which I haven't a chance to read) is complete story. It suffices unto
- it's own. The Albedo story doesn't allow this because of various plot
- lines and characters which Steve follows. Erma Felna is the central
- character but supporting cast their parts as well. As a complete work,
- Albedo would be good reading but unlike a book which we can just turn
- page, we must turn the calandar twice to get to the next stage.
-
- I'm still waiting for Albedo #7. No doubt, the Canadian distributors
- are slow getting it out. Spacewolf #1 was released about Dec 14th and I
- didn't receive my copy until Dec 23rd.
