Silverzeal, you do know that Legion lost is being cancelled right? That's why I want them back on the team, and I believe they won't simply be background characters. None of them were that before the revamp (with the only possiblity being tyroc because levitz doesn't like him.) The Legion isn't like the X-men, where they focus only on the WASP characters and everybody else barely gets screen time. He writes the team as an actual team, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, no one member is greater than another, even Mon-El. In fact, some of the newer stories have focused on Dragonwing, Chemical Kid, and Glorith.

This reminds me that I have to go through my Pull list and figure out what I'm buying lol but I spend around 65 (without the subscription discount) a week on books I'll have the list up by the end of the week...

No both the writer and artist are catching up on other stuff, at least I think that's what the writer himself said in the Vescell thread over at the Image boards

Actually, Levitz has turned around on Tyroc. He used him quite a bit in the Legion series that preceded the relaunch.

His problem with the character in the past were two fold: 1) he felt his sonic powers were not particularly useful (which he rethought for that Legion run that preceded the relaunch in some interesting ways); 2) ideologically, he felt that the idea of a segregated Black society felt off in a future that was almost completely integrated across worlds.

i know a question was brought up awhile ago about the movie "Lincoln". here's an article pointing to the issue some have on accuracy and agency (especially when the movie is largely based on a bio from Kearns).

Steven Spielberg’s White Men of Democracy

the article and the links within are worth a read

Will any1 b piking up Dynamite's MASKS(kato & Zorro r part of d cast)?

Has or did any pik-up NUMBER 13(came-out last wk)?

**Global Honored** · 11-26-2012, 12:05 PM

Wow....that is a crazy cast of characters. And very much awesome!

**Vic Vega** · 11-26-2012, 12:07 PM

Masks looks really good.

Two questions, is the guy with the Web mask supposed to be the Spider and if this is set in the 30's that has to be one of Zorro's decendants.

Or Zorro has learned how to not age. He would be about 100 by the time of the pulp heroes.

Agreed 100%

**Kid Kamikaze10** · 11-26-2012, 12:54 PM

I'm so hyped for Masks.

The Shadow has been awesome, and Spyder has been great too.

**Johnny P. Sartre** · 11-26-2012, 01:38 PM

I need to visit South America.

Co-signd!

Yup...d same 1 currently written by d kool David Liss(BP:MWF, BP:MDMA, Mystery Men)!

and if this is set in the 30's that has to be one of Zorro's decendants.

Most likely 1 of Zorro's descendants...though we/SZ mostly like d semi-immortal idea.
