But seriously, I just wanted clarification of this particular "act" that Reed 616 may have done. This would help me to guage whether or not I think Hickman has a proper (IMHO) understanding of the character. Which in turn would help me determine if I should invest the time & $ for these TPBs (since time & $ are fairly limited for me currently). Also, a possible mischaracterization of Reed could also mean that Hickman might mischaracterize other characters (which would be disappointing, and possibly irritating to me). Even though they are fictional, I still have a type of affection for the characters that I grew up with (again, I have no problem with "alternate" versions of said characters behaving differently than the "616" versions).< It's as if you're asking everyone to pre-screen your comics for you. >1) I hadn't thought about it that way, but I guess that's true to a certain extent. If I can avoid these things by inquiring of the posters here, so much the better for me. I suppose it's no different than reading movie reviews, to determine if a movie would be worthwhile checking out. I don't want to waste my time & $ on something that I wouldn't like. 2) Additionally, it leads to discussion. I find the differing views interesting. I'm curious as to why some people feel almost 180 degrees opposite on this. They have reasons, and if they care to, I'd be interested in hearing about them (& seeing if I agree or not).Richard G.
