    Fantastic,
    I have realy enjoyed the first 2 issues. Dox is a great lead, I enjoy seeing the omega men and I love Tribulous.................

    I cant wait to see more of this epic ( soon to be ) unfold. It is starting pretty slow with the building of the team , I really hope DC gives Tony the chance to get this book rolling ( 12 issues ) so we can relive the magic

    I loved Negation, and really liked his run on Exiles ( I dropped it after Tony left, and still miss Negation )

    Wildstar was pretty cool, cant wait to see how her persona is developed.

    Great beginning Tony

    Compliments to Mr. Bedard. This is a well-crafted sci-fi series. I realize that it descends from LEGION, which was essentially a superhero title, but I interpret this title to be more in line with Dan Didio's desire for DC to publish more genre books than just superheroes.

    So here's to the top sci-fi book on the market, established in 2 issues so far! Keep up the good work, Tony, Andy, and crew!

    is rebels good? let's put it this way, me and my friend had to take pay cuts recently, and cutting down on our comics was one of the obvious ways to save.

    r.e.b.e.l.s. is one of the two comics I'm still buying and the ONLY comic she's buying. i think that says it all.

    solid work on the first two issues...

    i have a question though... so Dox is using a pattern for his new team

    how does Wildstar fit again?

    Dox is going to need Wildstar's tracking sense so he can find and gather the rest of his team.

    Thanks for the kind words on our second issue, by the way! The good folks at DC are really positive about the book and they know it needs a chance to find and build an audience. So tell all your friends, and let's get some buzz going!

    A while ago I found the Omega Men limited series and the Adam Strange limited series. I wanted to have those because I re-read my L.E.G.I.O.N.s and wondered what Vril Dox was up to. I was heavily disappointed in the portrayal of Vril Dox in those 2 limited series. It was nothing like the Vril Dox I knew. But this new R.E.B.E.L.S..............................

    Tony, you made Vril Dox Vril Dox again. In fact, I think he might even be meaner and more cunning than before. I am really looking forward to what you have in store for us. Vril Dox is one of the best characters ever created and you have shown us why in just 2 issues. Keep up the good work and thank you.

    Tony, This was a really really good issue, you have me hooked on this comic.

    well done.

    There is another thread in the dc sub forum discussing this comic as well.

    Thumbs up

    Awesome issue.

    Tony,

    Since DC currently won't let you have Lobo in R.E.B.E.L.S., how about Tigorr joining up in Lobo's place instead? Tigorr is very Loboesque.

    Tigorr and the Omega Men definitely have a major part to play as this epic unfolds!

    Heh. I had to cut my list down to four comics, and this was the only one I got from DC this month.

    So I just read this issue yesterday and I'm starting to love the character of Vril Dox. What a compelling prick! I hope he doesn't hurt that Wildstar woman.

    What's exactly wrong with her, anyway? The dialogue makes it seem like it's her wings (I'm thinking the rest of her people can fly around space but she can't?), but it also looks like she has a lame leg and a bunch of spots on her body. I don't want to find out what Dox is doing until the issue comes out, but wouldn't he have to fix more than her wings in order to put her to work?
