I believe someone has already tried this. The flow of Lunar energies from the Reaching Moon Megacorp has been temporarily stemmed by outrages in Prax (I blame that Argrath White Bull, myself: we know he can screw up the Glowline), resulting in two consecutive Praxian Specials celebrating barbarism and destruction: one is due out within a month ("It's all over bar the printing..."), the second (Tales #15) is planned for this summer. After that point, however, the reinforced, concentrated Lunar Energies should wash back over you, in the form of our first Lunar Special, coming later this year!
"Worse than the disease?" Depends on your point of view, surely.
I truly enjoyed Peter Metcalfe's piece on "What Happened to the Red Moon".
