He'll still be a *SQUEE*, undoubtedly, but we'll see a side of him we didn't in the original. That guy was a total tool. This Torque will have reason for us to feel empathy, like we did for Flamingo.

I'm with you on that. Keep in mind the actual Torque is going to be a skinny little *SQUEE* until he's activated, it makes it easy to understand his over-compensating.

Aye. He'll have his reasons. Isn't his fantasy world a hoot? It's like Percy Jackson meets MegaDeath and monster trucks.

So excited for this title every month...doesn't get much better than this.

Sorry :angel:
Harada was brutal with her. Some of it is his past anger with her actions, but the way he refers to her as gutter trash -- so much for the benevolent man who wants to nurture psiots. We already know from what we've seen of his origins (harby 0 preview and past Harbingers) that he lost everyone in the war. If there had been children's homes in Japan at that time like there are here, surely he would have been in similar shoes as Livewire. Hypocrit.

This title is my favorite!

Like season 5 Buffy or season 7 Buffy?

At least seasons 8 and 9 are both better than season 7.

Really happy to see Garbet on art chores. I am hoping Evans is just taking a break, but Garbet is a certainly a pleasant surprise!

Normally I do not read previews, (I could not resist) but after reading that, and going through a 'meh' day, this made me smile like the Joker, chelsea grin isn't enough. I feel like the character of Torque is further developed than his previous counterpart. I may care when he dies.... if he dies who knows?

No, Greg!

Spoilers are the quick and easy path. Seductive, the previews are. At first, happy you will be. But find you will, the preview leads only to sadness and loss. Loss of the experience as intended by the author.

Begun, this Spoiler War has.
