It will never happen.

Heh

Never say never, anything's possible long as the right person's in charge.

Nicieza proved that people aren't interested in reading comics with characters with the same names as the VALIANT characters. People want Aric as X-O, Phil as Solar, Magnus as Magnus, Turok as Turok, etc.

Keeping the continuity intact is a plus, and it can be done long as the person doing it is talented enough.

I'ld think I'ld want to be on a different list of names :)

Unless they changed it recently, once someone votes on a pole you can't alter the pole options. I used to find this out the hard way by being the first to vote in my own poles and THEN finding mistakes in them :)

Poles are for strippers and smokers (unless you're from Poland, then you're a Pole also),

Polls are for voters.

While we're being picky...

It's "I couldn't care less", not "I could care less."
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

call me a lil purist, but i think they could fit it into coninuity and give us fans what we want if they just started right after Unity... with the destruction of the Lost Land that was like the solid Hub that all time revolved around... that way you could fit it into a "parrallel multiverse timeline" (or whatever)... and Phil still Solar, Aric still Xo, etc... also would give great oppertunity to re-release all the Unity TPBs and other older Pre-Unity Issues as new TPBs etc... all the characters that came after (Bloodshot, Ninjak, and Master Darque most notably) can slowly be reintroduced... i'd love for an amazing Unityesque crossover that would bring back Darque as the baddie....

I think that they could start over again at Unity - matter o' fact, I'd prefer it.

Now, will it happen???

Sad, but true...
Why can't you ignore me?

What compels you to interact with me, after it's been made beyond clear that it leads to nothing but chaos? What is wrong with your brain and mental faculties that you positively INSIST on interacting with me?

Why?

refuse all you want, but that doesnt exactly mean anything...being stubborn doesnt mean you are right...


it doesnt mean you are wrong either....


I just hope that they dont listen to anything that is said on this board and they do what they feel is in their best interest...
Also good.

Fact is that Shooter managed to do that, which means it can be done. Anyone that chooses not to do it does it because they can't do what Shooter did, not because it can't be done.

Also correct. Just call me Mr. Agreement. ;)
