Origins

[Ghornet2]

I'm rather enjoying the 2 page origns. Between Meet the bad guys and the regular series there should be 34 pages of origins. It would be perfect for a Origins reprint. Any comments?

I think the short origins look great, and give us at least a quick idea of some of the heroes' origins, though thus far it has been concetrated on the bigger players that we are more likely to know.

Still, I think as a back-up they're a good idea, and I's certainly not be adverse to buying a collection of them in issue format down the line.

This was the schedule given by Jim Krueger prior to the release of #0:

#0 - Black Terror, as narrated by Tim/Kid Terror
#1 - The Devil, as narrated by the Aborigine Huntsman
#2 - The Giant, as narrated by Boy King (and also dealing with Boy King’s origin)
#3 - Man-Cat, as narrated by Kitten
#4 - The Flame, as narrated by the Flame. Will probably even touch on Flame Girl and the Death of Mr. Octopus. This is going to reinforce how much he misses his wife. He’ll tell his origin as she would, based on how he remembers her describing him.
#5 - President Power, as narrated by Emperor Sing II
#6 - The Target, as narrated by one of the Targeteers
#7 - Mr. Face, as narrated by Marvelo
#8 - Masquerade, as narrated by Lady Satan
#9 - American Crusader, as narrated by Black Terror
#10 - Pyroman, as narrated by the Twister
#11 - Dynamic Man, as narrated by the Scarab
#12 - The Black Owl, as narrated by the Green Lama

He didn't mention the Lama origin from MTBG, so I would guess we may see those heroes origins as well. And, of course, the schedule may change.

Thanks for the info. Its good to remember that the origin can be squed by who is telling it.
My guess of Masquerade was based on the Sisters Scarlet on the cover. I would have liked to see Captain Future but that's probaby going to be seen in the series itself. Maybe Truth & Dare as well.

By the way, I LOVE the Out Of Print strip.
