Wow. That is an awesome amount of exposition to explain how the new story works.
My blog.
We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.

Reignfire's mutant power seems to be not shutting up.
"We must fight on!"
"We'll die. We fight and we die, that's how it goes."
"Then we die gloriously!"
"There's an important word there, and it's not gloriously."

If you think about it.... it really has a Scooby Doo vibe where the villain reveals things to the kids at the end.

I'm reminded of Beechen's horrible Cassandra BATGIRL Cain issue where a bunch of talking heads explained away all the horrible mis-characterizations he had committed against her previously.

For TWO PAGES.
Did they really have to do that?"We must fight on!"
"We'll die. We fight and we die, that's how it goes."
"Then we die gloriously!"
"There's an important word there, and it's not gloriously."

Am I the only one who find 'Reignfire' one of the lamest, awkwardly punny supervillain names ever?
'The marquis. Well, you know, to be honest, he seems a little bit dodgy to me.'
'Mm,' she agreed. 'He's a little bit dodgy in the same way that rats are a little bit covered in fur."

I'm just disappointed, upset and hurt that they didn't at least spell it "Reignfyre." Originally Posted by carabas
