Probably shouldn't get hung up on the word "prominent" because that brings to mind main characters like Superman and Batman. It's not going to be them.

From the sound of it, it's going to be a character that hasn't shown up since September's reboot. So who haven't we seen yet that'll still be a big enough deal to make news?

I've heard speculation that it might be Vibe (as seen in the Free Comic Book Day issue) and being a member of the current Justice League might make him fairly "prominent". Or maybe that new, mysterious Green Lantern? The person under the mask would be a new character, but a gay Green Lantern would be major.

I have yet to watch any of the Daniel Craig Bond movies and this preview did nothing to change my mind. It still seems to lack the parts of Bond movies I love, so I will happily ignore this movie as well.

For the most part, I thought this was a good comic. I liked the story and Nicola Scott's artwork was gorgeous. The only issue I had with it was I felt it spent too much time on the backstory (trinity vs. Apokolips) and not enough time introducing the main characters of this series.

As for rebooting the JSA characters, part of me will greatly miss the characters I remember from the last JSA series. I loved that the DCU has some elder statesmen characters who the Justice League admired. And I loved the generational aspect with their kids and all the other new legacy heroes that populated the previous JSA book. Those are all aspects of the JSA that I will miss in this reboot.

On the other hand, I'm looking forward to seeing the classic JSA characters revitalized. They've never really had the chance to be modernized like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have. They've usually just been replaced with legacies or new characters with no connection to them. The JSAers themselves have largely remained unchanged, except for the ones who were killed off.

Now we're returning to the era of the JSA being peers to the JLA like they were during their original team-ups. And they're bringing back characters that were killed years ago. When was the last time Al Pratt was a featured character? I think it'll be awesome to see these characters as modern superheroes (no matter how ugly Jim Lee makes their costumes).

I agree that it's not something that should hold the issue back, I was just commenting that it's still a costume issue that hasn't been fixed.

It does make me wonder though... would the same be true if a costume looked good for people like me but didn't look good with Ultra Mode graphics?

Does the War Horse even have any attacks? Or do you want it to hover there and look pretty?

I'm not sure how to react and respond to question 16. Are all of those in the realm of possibility and you're looking for feedback on which you guys should do first? Or are they more like "Wouldn't it be nice if CoH had this feature"? Some of those choices were surprising. Cross-server teaming and Player Housing stuck out for me.

With any luck, we'll get a mix of what both of us want out of a dino pack. Hopefully.

I think that's Z's new go to meme for Day 1 Beta bugs/leaks.

Personally I'd wait until I get my hopes up about something like this. This is Day 1 of the beta and there are bound to be leaks or bugs that we're not supposed to have access to. Like Beast Mastery last time.

Hopefully it's not a mistake if it's as cool as you say.

Also good to keep in mind that things change in betas, so if you hear any news from the Beta server, take it with a grain of salt.

Sometimes I'll go with a specific origin depending on my character's backstory. But other times I'll go with the Tech origin because it has my favorite origin power. So I guess my most used origin would be Tech followed up by Science and Magic.

It looks like the current plan is to release new free (for VIPs) sets with each issue (like Time Manipulation and the new Dark sets). Other new sets will be released in the Market between issues and everyone has to buy them.

While dinosaurs are not in every single comic book, they've been featured enough in the 70 year history of the industry to count as a valid part of comic books. Both DC and Marvel have feature "lost" lands filled with dinosaurs. Marvel has the Savage Lands where any of their characters can visit and have adventures with dinosaurs. DC has Dinosaur Island that was featured for years in "The War That Time Forgot" which is going to reappear in DC's "G.I. Combat" book this May. (Dino Island was also a big part of one of the best comics of the last decade, DC: The New Frontier)

And there are lots of characters that either are dinosaurs or can transform into them. DC has Beast Boy who often transforms into dinos (especially on the Teen Titans cartoon). Marvel has dino-transforming Reptil who is the team leader for Avengers Academy. And Marvel has a couple dinosaurs as characters like Old Lace from the Runaways (seen in the current Avengers Academy story) and Devil Dinosaur (also in that same story). And Robert Kirkman recently started a book at Image called "Super Dinosaur" that has been getting a lot of buzz.

A lot of this dinosaur-related character/events are happening in comics right now. So I think CoH can consider dinosaurs to be under the umbrella of "comic book stuff" they can pull ideas from.

Having said all that, it's totally cool if you don't like this part of comic books. There are some parts of comics that I really don't like (gun-toting, Punisher-like characters). But I don't want to tell Paragon to not use resources on gun stuff just because I don't like it. I know other people like it so I'm happy to wait my turn because I know they'll return to something that does appeal to me.
