Byrne-inspired

[Le Messor]

Updating MARRINA's look and personality are good ideas and I think one of the strongest contributions that the volume 4 team has made.

I do know that I'm pretty much alone in not liking that.

So I'm not making an incorrect assumption, do you mean the Mantlo-"killing"-Snowbird fiasco (poorly-conceived-and-executed plot device to get rid of old characters to make room for "new" characters)? It didn't take (Snowbird's "death" was corrected, as it should have been, since technological weapons weren't supposed to be the thing to do her in).

That is what I mean, though I think it's not the only thing she did.
I'm not defending it, just saying there's established precedent. (And Snowbird coming back is irrelevant - Vindicator killed her; that's all that matters for this discussion.)

Re-reading the 1st volume is okay, but the thought of a contemporary take...

I'd prefer more stories in the original style. I'd enjoy it more.
