OMG I'm so stoked for this mini series! Two beautiful, powerful, and amazingly wonderful black women who will both be having a mini series in October is earth shattering! Storm and Vixen! What more can I ask for?!

This economy is tightening my budget and I usually stick to my favorite old school characters. But I think I am going to get this.
I only recently became a Vixen fan from the JLU show and I no longer read the JLA book. So this mini is a good opportunity to get to know the character.

Vixen is barely tolerable in "JLA". I have a feeling this mini is going to rival Gambit's three previous minis in useless boredom ....
- Why can't fan-boys spell "rogue" correctly ?

I'm another poster who only really knows Vixen from the Justice League cartoon, but I'm very interested in checking out this mini-series. That first cover looks great too (and not just because she doesn't have beachballs strapped to her chest like in Justice League of America).
Have a good day.

What more can I ask for, a BP/Storm Divorce and return to her true self. Otherwise awesome news for both. Originally Posted by Shade101

Any guesses on the second League member who appears in the mini?

I won't ask for that. And her marriage has very little to do with how she's been acting. She can be married anyone, but she still hasn't been acting right. It's the writers' faults, not the marriage's. Originally Posted by Johnny_Luck

Exactly. All things considered there have been points were it has been used right. Originally Posted by Shade101

No thanks, I like Storm and Black Panther together, I like seeing a black power couple in comics. Originally Posted by Johnny_Luck

I know next to nothing about the character, but it still looks quite an interesting series. Hopefully their will be some background given on the character in it.

Not against Racial couples in general, But I am when the stronger of the two looks like a complete weakling and mess in order to make the main character of the book shes in look good. Originally Posted by Xero

I love the idea of black power couple too ... just not one that was thrown together in a ham-fisted, editorially-mandated way. Originally Posted by Xero

If they had given the relationship time to percolate and develop, I would have had little problems with it. But saying, boom, okay they're in love now is just ridiculous.
And I am DEFINITELY getting this mini - have always been a fan of Vixen.Last edited by Psistorm4472; 09-11-2008 at 10:26 AM. Reason: Continuation of thought ...
