    Heroes Reborn

    in Heroes [V]

    Not having read anything about this, if they have new characters and new actors (like Season 2 was supposed to be), it might not suck. But since they will want familiar faces, we'll get whomever is affordable and not busy. So, I'll go with ill-conceived.

    Convince An 'Angel' Newbie To Pick It Up

    in Angel [V]

    For a while when they were both on the air, I enjoyed Angel more than Buffy. Some of my favorite Joss characters were either from Angel or were former Buffy characters who moved over to Angel. I've never done a re-watch, but I imagine it would hold up pretty well.

    That's true on Saga. They do 6 issues monthly then take around three months off. 18 was the end of the last arc. This is a great way to do it because people can buy collections and catch up to read the monthly. DC Comics does NOT understand this. 

    Ms. Marvel

    I think this is correct:

    Carol Danvers has been called Ms. Marvel for the most part since she was introduced in the 1970s. In the recent series by Kelly Sue Deconnick she took on the name Captain Marvel for this first time. This has traditionally been a male hero, so it was kind of a medium to big deal to readers. Some stuff happened (spoilers) and that series has ended for now, although I'm sure she is still popping up  in Avengers comics.

    That left the Ms. Marvel name available. Elsewhere in the Marvel Universe, some comic stuff happened and a bomb went off releasing something called terrigen mist which caused any human that had DNA belonging to the race called the Inhumans to go into a cocoon and then be released with new super powers supposedly based somehow on their personality.

    That's the back story of what is happening to Kamala in the first issue.

    Make it 5 times for Hawkeye and 2 times for Saga.

    I hear good things about East of West and Pretty Deadly and they are in my to-read queue. They are both more western than super-hero. East of West is an alternate history four horsemen of the apocalypse. I think Pretty Deadly is about a woman whose father may be Death.

    The current run of Wonder Woman delves a lot more into the mythology and less on the super-heroes. It reminds me a lot of Sandman with a lot of gods running around as people.
