It's really the only thing that makes sense, especially when you have decades of continuity with which to contend.<br /><br />I watched your tribute video. Great stuff! And, it's quite cool that Bill Mantlo got to see it and enjoyed it!<br /><br />In your most recent post regarding Avengers Academy, that's just another case in for which Krypto-revisionism can be applied. William Rosemann's reply to you was encouraging and classy, so that's cool. <br /><br />One day, ROM will return. As Bors said to Percival in EXCALIBUR, "Never give up the quest!" :)Dana P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00700227623316773975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-29156940824528359932012-01-31T13:03:13.169-08:002012-01-31T13:03:13.169-08:00Reminds me of a line from Mythbusters....

Why even bother with these characters if you're not going to do them justice?<br /><br />The inclusion of the Gen3 Spaceknights from the Limited series in the Annihilation saga really shortchanged just how powerful the Originals were. Rom stood toe to toe with Gladiator and a wounded and dying Plor actually took out an entire Shi'ar Imperial Guard SINGLE HANDEDLY. The Gen3 were about worthless and should go back to their Manga-Inspired universe. While it has never been stated, I really think that the Ikon/Daystar version of the Spaceknights should really be considered as FOURTH Generation. Their armor bears no similarities with the Teen/Angst Gen3 group and really seemed much more powerful than the previous iterations in the Limited Series. <br /><br />I would be happy if they at least paid tribute to Rom and then revitalized the Spaceknights into the powerful noble warriors we all came to love. What better heros could Marvel use that identifies with the times we live in? The Spaceknights were NOBLE, HONORABLE, SELF-SACRIFICING. That is what we need today.The Graphics Wizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372954868702603805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-29950427933136833672012-01-28T04:21:26.103-08:002012-01-28T04:21:26.103-08:00Hmmm I'm inclined to agree Dave to many storyl...Hmmm I'm inclined to agree Dave to many storyline like to piggyback on none characters to carry on their story lines! Yet you get a writer who doesn't care enough to give a logical explanation for that character from past history! <br /><br />Some are worthy, some are for nostalgic reason like us the artist or writer just thought why not! But come on, don't just stick your toe in and call yourself wet, Jump in I knew I'd love them for it!
