It looks like the current Dynamic Man has just expanded his orders/programing and is protecting mankind. He just feels that he is the answer. In some ways a good guy in others a stereotypical bad guy who thinks he has all the answers.

Wish we had a thread that would show all of our heroes "origins" in a nice clear read like this story above.
Thanks.
Affordable Reprints of our heroes would really be nice.

Oh boy, these old stories are nice for collection purposes and are great keep sakes and nice for archiving but they just are not easy to sit through. I appreciate them and are glad they are there for us but if sales stay up and the readership is there then a modern retelling would be so much better. I love coming a past don't get me wrong, but they are not the best representations of the current incarnations.

I remember reading an old Batman where Robin tossed a bank robber and he landed on the moon, LOL.

I respectfully disagree here. I hate modern retellings. I much prefer the original stories. Maybe it's just my age showing. I would much rather read the Spider-Man story from Amazing Fantasy #15 than the same story in Mythos: Spider-Man. As nice as those Mythos issues look, there's just something about the original stories by the original creators that makes them so much more special, IMO. Plus, as much as I enjoy the current Superpowers, Lone Ranger, Zorro, and other series, I'm generally a fan of "less is more" story-telling. If you can effectively tell the story you want in 10 or 12 pages, why do you need 6 full issues? Some stories are that big, but most are not.

I respectfully disagree. I'm not especially enamored with the modern retellings, either. I would prefer the original stories, too.

If a modern re-telling would open a new door to understanding the original story... fine. But build this universe on the foundation that's already been told. And hopefully, reprint these great golden age stories for us... so we can "imagine" the "real" story from it's true origin. ;)

Just so everone knows, I am a fan of old school and new school comics, I just want to get that out there so nobody thinks I am stricktly new school. My collection of trade paperbacks and comics is a steady mix of both era's.

With that said, at this juncture putting out reprints at this time would slow things down even further and cause more delays, not to mention it would be a sales risk. Casual fans won't care too much about classic reprints and those books would mainly be for us, the hardcore fans. Once more staff is brought on and they get on a solid schedule and the characters become important to all levels of readers and loved by old and new fans alike then maybe classic reprints could do well. Until then it is too much of a sales risk and the best thing to do is always focus on the here and now, not the past.
