@kirkvanlund Oh yeah, easily the best comic version of Doc Savage I've ever read. He got everything right. Nobody's ever done that before.

— Dave Robinson (@dcrwrites) December 12, 2013

@dcrwrites looking forward to seeing Pat Savage and what he does for multi-issue arcs. Curious about rolling the years forward too…

— Kirk (@kirkvanlund) December 12, 2013

@kirkvanlund Me too, not my first choice (but I was always a bigger fan of the Pre-War stories)

— Dave Robinson (@dcrwrites) December 12, 2013

@dcrwrites same here. I'm curious why they decided to place it in modern era. Seems like period Shadow is doing well

— Kirk (@kirkvanlund) December 12, 2013

@kirkvanlund Well, 49 isn't modern, but yeah

— Dave Robinson (@dcrwrites) December 12, 2013

HARBINGER #19: This whole VR construct and cartoon character bit has to go, too much silly, too little gravitas.
