Nice review.

Just so you know, the Dark Horse/Gold Key characters are in a shared universe. New characters will be introduced and there will be crossovers eventually like in Valiant.

Roger Robinson is taking over on the art starting with Solar 2

That's cool, I didn't know about it being a shared universe, is there an article somewhere that talks about that?

Jim said that it will be a shared universe the same way that we share the same universe as Columbus...or something to that effect.

As far as I know the four titles are all from four different time periods.

That's nothing a little time travel can't fix.

I'm not sure if it's been discussed in an interview yet, but JayJay Jackson has talked about it being a shared universe on the dark key board.

Also in Solar #1 Tanek Nuro is the head of tech giant Lovejoy International. In the FCBD Magnus story the final battle takes place at Lovejoy Galacticorp Robo Optics plant. So the groundwork is already being laid :thumb:

I didn't believe it when Jim Kirk said it about VD and I don't believe it when you say it now.

Good catch on the connection between Magnus and Solar! :-) That's pretty cool. I kind of hope they eventually do some sort of crossover, but I'm just stoked about this whole rebirth.

I'm going to have to voice my support for Jim Shooter, even if he isn't the easiest person in the world to work for or with.
