Red Tornado

Got real excited when looking for info on Mecha-Nation and Progeny, I read DC hired Greg Weisman (Disney's Gargoyles and Spectacular Spider-Man TV series head writer) to do a six-issue series for Red Tornado with Joe Bennett. Then, it all went away I read DC cancelled it.

Makes me wonder if behind the scenes, projects like Tien Pham and Ron Lim's Great Ten series bit the dust in similar manners. I know Keith Champagne's Green Lantern Corps: The Corpse mini-series with Jamal Igle got cancelled like this. At least Rucka's Batwoman mini-series with J.H. Williams III will see the light of day, even though it's in Detective Comics.

Oh wow, that's who that guy is on the DCMBs. Jamal Igle has been talking up a storm. I was wondering why everyone keeps responding to the guy. Heh.

In all honesty, I'm not a big Red Tornado fan. Although, if they made a story about him going away, that'd be great. And I don't mean that negatively. It's just that the "guy" has died like 7 times? I don't know. It may not be that many. All I'm saying is either off him forever, which would be a waste even though I don't care for the character, or, the better idea, "kill" him off to where his consciousness becomes the Elemental of the Wind. Like an Alec Holland type of event.

Ha. Hear, hear! I'd love a Ma Hunkel story to be perfectly honest.

Did you catch the Cyclone Kids in Young Justice?

Huh uh. I do want to back-issue that series. Reading Impulse right now and really liking it, so I'd be up for it.

Seems this limited series is back...sort of.

Think you know everything there is to know about the mighty Red Tornado?
Well think again!

This miniseries shines a new light on the true origin of Red Tornado, the Justice League of America's resident android Super Hero! You'll not only discover a crew of characters new to the DC Universe, if Red Tornado has his way, you'll also uncover the hero's true android family! But will it cost him the love of his adopted human one?

Get caught in the whirlwind of this exciting new series from writer Kevin VanHook and artist Jose Luisí!" - DCComics.com

Here's pics of issue #2 (classic Mary/Jesus cover) and #3.

I'd check this out in trade.

I've never really dug Red Tornado. Just not a character I could get into. I saw this in Previews and its not something I think i would pick up.

hmm, it's nice that some of the lesser known heroes are getting minis, but this might not be too good, depeneds if i read some reveiws
