The whole technology is new and untested and radios are just talking boxes to them.<BR/><BR/>The modern guys don't get it because the idea of a remote controlled hero is kind of a joke to them. They're used to robots that walk, talk, and get married.<BR/><BR/>So Electro was was ahead of his time in WW2 and is way behind the times in 2008. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-29294301992582265882008-01-09T22:46:00.000-05:002008-01-09T22:46:00.000-05:00HAHAHAHA!Never heard of that.

Now, were it <I>Captain America</I>, the number would be higher.<BR/><BR/>Chris Weston is always hyper-detailed and I can't recall any of his comics shipping late really. <I>The Filth</I> came out on time as did <I>Fantastic Four: First Family</I>. Plus, lots of lead time.<BR/><BR/>Guess it will come down to me in the store and what mood strikes me.

It should start at one gazillion, since he's the first American guy to punch a Nazi in the face. So, recalculate with a base of one gazillion, and you'll see how hard it is to ignore The Twelve.<BR/><BR/>You should probably wait and buy the inevitable hardcover, honestly, and I would be shocked if this sucker was released without delays (Weston's pages are PACKED with detail), but I'll be buying the floppies!Timothy Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078183191900311833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-64495418647048870562008-01-09T22:10:00.000-05:002008-01-09T22:10:00.000-05:0018.36... is that a good cool factor?I was on the f...18.36... is that a good cool factor?<BR/><BR/>I was on the fence about buying this, but now I'm leaning towards the "buy" side and may just fall off before I hit a shop.Chad Nevetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785622045733202883noreply@blogger.com
