It has to be the Mighty Samson.
The others have been done twice and were both well rec'd for their respective time periods, but Samson, well what the heck right.
Show me something that sounds this unintersting and make it good and ill be a happy bunny.
He did it before when people no doubt scoffed at re imagining the GK books, so i dont doubt it can be done, so now i want to know.

That's good insight. I wonder what the odds are Shooter will write Mighty Samson. According to the article he'll plot and oversee all four titles. I've also read he's going to write as much as possible.

Definitely Magnus, followed closely by Solar.

Turok is a great character, but Valiant just didn't do him justice.

I'll have to wait. Magnus should stay very close to the first two versions. Solar, who knows what Jim will do with him. Turok, again should be very close to the published versions. Samson, I have no idea who this is.

First of all, no "I like ice cream!" option? Shame on you...

Second, you might as well ask me to pick which one of the Jonas Brothers I want to strangle more...there's no way I could possibly choose.

I don't have any Turok or Magnus comics - with the exception of one Turok guest appearance - so I don't have any feelings about the characters one way or the other. I do have a bunch of Solar comics, though, and love them so I want to see how the new version turns out.

Although I must say I am the most interested in how he will carry on with Solar, I'm looking forward to some Shooter Written Turok, that has the potential to be great without the confusion of different eras, in other words its easy to work with and shooter can really delve deep and make it interesting [without my head exploding from a 3rd rendition of Solar :? ]

Solar. Contemporary super-heroes brought me into the medium and they are the mainstay of my comic book reading.

Closely follwoed by Mighty Samson as I have the least preconceptions with that character (much like my countryman, Draco I feel :thumb: ).

I would highly recommend picking up the the early Magnus books and giving them a try. Very well written stories.

And around the turn they come...it's Doctor Solar Man Of The Atom in the lead by three votes followed by Magnus Robot Fighter 4000 A.D. Mighty Samson is eight votes back and Turok rounds out the field with two votes.
