Favorites:
(1) Agenda by Brandon Kaonohi because I thought it really kept up with the
mystical air of the X-Files TV show...
Least Favorites:
(1) Didn't have a least favorite
Other comments:
(1) This was a hard one to pick a favorite with - I liked Irene Snyder
Schwarting's 'Strange Bedfellows' as well. 'X-Degrees of Separation' was both
informative and amusing. I enjoyed 'Through the Thin Veil' but I have
absolutely no knowledge of the show 'Nowhere Man' so it was a bit awkward for
me. Really, though four fabulous stories!

Layout/editing:6
Favorite:
(1) L Beatty's Something In The String Of G - Didn't think I'd like it, but it
was just too funny! I loved it! because L.Beatty's SITSOG will leave you
ROTFLYAO
(2) Something in the String of G and Shadows in the rain because Jeez, where
to begin! I thought this story really captured the humor of the Team!
Least Favorite:
(1) Mistaken Idenity because Didn't like like the general premise
(2) Circumstantial Evidence because I have a problem with stories where one of
the guys turns out to be the 'bad' guy, in this case, Face causing all kinds
of trouble because he jumped to conclusions. I know fan fic is an author's
opinion, but I just can't see the guys splintering like this - I think they're
too secure in their relationships with each other.
Other comments:
(1) Circumstanial Evidence was a treat.Excellent story, intersting twist.
(2) The cartoons by Leah Rosenthal are out of this world! What a talent!
Again, I had a tough time choosing a favorite - "Shadows in the Rain" was an
awesome read - so very different from 'Something in the String of G' which was
very light-hearted.

Deadly Maneuvers
Overall: 10
Fiction: 9.87
Artwork: 9.625
Layout/editing: 10
Favorite:
(1) Notes From Someplace else and The Sound of Thunder II because Sad to feel
his pain, sad to feel their pain
(2) Sound of Thunder II and Notes from Someplace Else because Sound of Thunder
was totally 'unfinished' on the TV version!!
(3) One False Move because It was great to see Amy with a 'starring' role for
a change
(4) Sound of Thunder Part 2 because I love the way they all worry about
Murdock.
Least Favorite:
(1) tried, but couldn't pick a least favorite because The stories are all so
Good!
(2) Honorable Enemies because Just didn't like it.
(3) Genesis because I don't think it was developed as fully as it could have
been.
(4) It's Not Always Easy Being the A-Team because I think that that any of
them not just Face could have been raped.
Other comments:
(1) THE ARTWORK!!!
The four sketches of the guys - WOW!!
These are sketches- right? Beautiful, each and everyone. Hannibal looked a
little young, but nothing wrong with that. BA, oh my, if Mr. T saw it, he'd
probably want to snatch it right up.
Nicole,if you really did these four sketches, it's just not fair. I can't even
trace half that good.
C O N G R A D U L A T I O N S !!!!!!
(2) I am totally thrilled with almost every story in this zine!
(3) Overall, I think this was one of the most consistent zines I've ever read.
And I loved the artwork - the photos were terrific! And the cover was
beautiful!

Double Heat
Overall:8
Fiction:8
Artwork:7
Layout/editing:8
Favorite:
(1) Vets Stick Together and White Lines because What can I say? I like Face
hurt/comfort stories. I can just see Face's reaction in VST regarding his
'doctor'. And I like how the guys support Face, helping him with his problem
in WL.
Least Favorite:
(1) High School Drug Dealer because I felt is was lacking. There really
wasn't much to the story.

Face Collection
Overall:8.5
Fiction:8
Artwork:8.5
Layout/editing:7
Favorites:
(1) "Comrades" because character development
(2) Comrades because I like reading stories about the team before the
'incident' that put them on the run. I liked the show of feelings & concern
between the guys.
Least Favorites:
(1) "In Nam we trust", and "Double Take" because didn't ring true, either
one. I only like crossovers when they are really good. This one's mediocre.
(2) The poetry because There is nothing wrong with it . It's just not my
thing.
Other comments:
(1) better than the Hannibal collection
(2) Geez, talk about Face having a bad day |: ) In this zine he gets beatup,
blinded, killed, and shot not once but at least 3 times. A good read for fans
who like hurt/comfort stories.

Artwork:4
Layout/editing:2
Favorites:
(1)CONSPIRACY because HANNIBAL/MURDOCK WELL DEVELOPED,HURT/COMFORT,WELL
WRITTEN
Least Favorites:
(1)TWICE AS MUCH TROUBLE because NOT BELIEVABLE, HANNIBAL HAS MORE SELF CONTROL
Other comments:
(1)There was a real good story where Maggie is 7 months pregnent with
Hannibal's child but the printing is so faint you cant make out the story
title at all, and parts of the story itself are guesswork

Losing Face
Overall:8

Layout/editing:9
Favorites:
(1) a tie - "The Lengthening Chain" & "Fair's Fair" because one was short and
sweet; the other was more complex and heartfelt
Least Favorites:
(1) the Battlestar Galactica story (sorry, can't remember the title!) because
I hate being reminded of the G:80 eps. "Return of Starbuck" and it was too
sad! It was well written, though.

Favorites:
(1) well, there was only one story, so it's a tough choice... :) because long,
drawn-out, hurt/comfort - gotta love it!
Other comments:
(1) Really got a feel for the love between the four guys, even if Murdock and
B.A. did fight a little more than they probably would have.
(2) I enjoyed this story very much. Although I like the action in the show I
also like exploring the relationship between the characters. The author wrote
true to the show and did not get too complicated with the storyline.

(1) I really enjoyed the entire thing - all three stories. I thought "After
the Showdown" was quite good and the title piece "Outrage" was an interesting
story. But, oh my, does it leave you hanging!! (Lucky for me I know a sequel
is in the works!)

Other comments:
(1) Got a little too long. I loved Murdock's sudden obsession with the rest of
the team's sex life! Wasn't so sure I liked all the negative prejudices
against country folk (hey, I am one! Kinda..) The twists were great. Decker's
daughter! Oh my!
