I think that she embodies many of the characteristics of the original Question that got diluted over the years with DC. The Question is not supposed to be someone with all the answers. Instead, s/he is supposed to be the character with all the insight into the right questions. The wiser and more intelligent that Vic Sage became over the years, made him harder and harder to relate to as a character. Not to mention difficult to write well (considering that most of the writers trying to tackle him were not spiritually enlightened, how could they properly depict a character that was?) With Renee, we get to see the Question reduced to the origin of the character, and evolve all over again.Bungeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478693600141041260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690958978752523537.post-9019167274051528802007-08-29T13:19:00.000-04:002007-08-29T13:19:00.000-04:00That mini series sounds great.

Kind of makes me think of Jack Hawksmoor from the Authority. <BR/>Its defintely on the to get list.<BR/> <BR/>I can see your point about Montoya. Perhaph she will grow in to the role. One can only hope.Uncle Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969604988029765607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690958978752523537.post-54446033595188784522007-08-29T11:20:00.000-04:002007-08-29T11:20:00.000-04:00Regarding the Question...The 2nd & 3rd images you ...Regarding the Question...<BR/><BR/>The 2nd & 3rd images you have there are from a mini-series which came out quite some time ago. They were phenomenal. Excellent dialogue, writing, plot... All top notch. And slightly creepy given his transcendental side.<BR/><BR/>Not only did it keep his philosophical side intact but it also molded him into a type of "urban shaman" meaning he was able to speak to the spirits of a city. The buildings, streets lamps etc.<BR/><BR/>The artwork is incredible and rich. Of interest is how the artist drew Superman. A dead ringer for the late, great Christopher Reeve. <BR/><BR/>I definitely believe you would enjoy the set immensely.<BR/><BR/>Admittedly though, I'm not too keen on Montoya as being the Question. She isn't as intelligent, wise or metaphysical as Vic Sage was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
