    You shouldn't call them villains - that means you're accepting that they're evil - you should call them "alternative heroes"

    When it's only 5 pages, I think it's be better to just not have an option to skip it - just click "next" 5 times quickly to get into the tutorial.

Bravo. *golf clap*
    That's one map for 4-8 people, not 8 separate maps for 8 solo people

    One of the big problems with comics is that they started out as male power fantasies for teenage boys, and it's the default setting that a lot of them still fall back on way too often - which is why more women don't read them.
    They've been making some progress in more modern times, but they're going to need to change a lot more before they get a more equal gender split in their readership.

    That makes him a bad person then - good people doing bad things is just the standard vigilante lie.

    Well, the changes have been pretty popular, so it's only natural that there'd be a big upswing in how often it's run

    The next 2 Trials will also be quite popular - especially MoM - that can be done in less than 30 minutes, and gives the league several chances to regroup without a timer.

    It'd make more sense for their HQ to be in orbit rather than in the RWZ, not only because the Rikti aren't the only threat that they deal with anymore, but also because it'd fit the Vanguard theme really well - they'd literally be above all national boundaries, and literally be watching over Earth.
    Plus, Lady Grey would look really impressive standing in front of a ginormous observation window with the Earth in the background behind her

    Actually, it's quite a lot more complex than that - especially as Padme actually died while Vader was being put into the suit - it's her potential death that's the driving force behind the final stage of his fall to the dark side - his mother and the 3 father-figures in his life also had a massive role in his fall.

    But I've seen concept art for stuff that was cut from GR - does that mean that'll never be reused in future Issues?

    I mentioned it
  20. I've been watching that page as you've been uploading the art - the things that I found especially interesting were the things that got cut or changed - like the original Paretorian tech lab concepts, and the neon lights and signs idea for Imperial City
