You'd have to steal his complete collection of Valiants to bring him back.

Yeah, but it also did a good job of stopping that arrow Turok shot at Magnus.

OK, so why make a suit with a large hole in the crotch? That is the only thing I've ever disliked about the Magnus series. Well, that and the whole Leeja banging Rai thing. [ducks]

Or Willow Talltree...

or Felena...

or Tekla (oh you know they did, she said she had the "pleasure circuts" put in)

or Elzy....

Magnus was the Capt. Kirk of the 41st century

If Magnus is shooting blanks that might explain his whole desire to "prove himself" by saving the entire planet...Hmm....

I read them, I just ignored them because none of that crap was true to the characters.

I see that currently a minority is voting for Solar.

/Magnus

tarheelmarine · Post by **tarheelmarine** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 11:46:35 am

I might have to create a second account to vote again for Magnus.

They're both incredibly good reads. It's a coin toss. The tie-breaker will have to be who has the better costume. Hmm...wait...that makes it even tougher.

BUMP

Actually I change my vote, kind of.

Solar 1-4 AND Alpha & Omega,

better than Magnus Steel Nation.

While both have great stories (and artwork) the continuity and planning in Solar is just so tight and well thought out.

From the 2 Seleski's and Solar to the monster Omega panel and the Solar #10 cover. Its gotta be Solar.
