Suh-weet. I'll be adding this to my pull list.

You should go back and get the Deadman story as well, it was pretty awesome.

I think the only mistake they made with the first arc was making it 5 issues. That is a long story if it doesn't work. The Challengers story is three issues. I'm interested in that one but the Savage story looks to rock!

I know but Jenkins, not a fan. I'll probably get them all in trade anyhow.

This looks awesome.

And yeah, Deadman was great.

**Roland Gunner** · 02-03-2012, 07:01 AM

Looks awesome! Its also cool to see Robinson and Change re-united after Superman. I don't really care about the Challengers of the Unknown but will definitively pick this up.

Interesting stuff but I hope the article's wrong when it speculates that she might be a replacement for Scandal. That seems a weird and unnecessary idea when she could just be another child. I mean, I thought the point was always that he had countless children over the years - Scandal was special because her mother was the person Vandal married.

So yeah. As long as she's a cool new character, not a weird reboot of an old character, I'll check this out.

HELL YEAH!. Robinson is going to kick ass in this one!.

It's amazing how much attention Vandal Savage has been receiving in recent years, from Action Comics, Demon Knights and now here. I'm loving DCU Presents current format of rotating creative teams and working on less known characters.

I felt that way as well, I loved the story as it was written but I feel shorter arcs will make it feel more like a proper anthology series rather than just a string of miniseries published under the same title.

The Source was unclear whether Sage would be the New 52 replacement for former Secret Six team member Scandal Savage or simply an entirely new member of the Savage family

Don't they dare erase Scandal from continuity!

It'll be nice to see the smarter, more evolves side of Vandal Savage after getting the more bombastic, fun character in Demon Knights.

I like them both, for different reasons, and the one take makes the other more interesting, in my mind.
