Savanti Romero cast a spell on her that caused her to have a horrible nightmare where she became a bug with Renet and saw how she was drawn to life, only so he could mess with her mind and make her vulnerable to the alien Brontosaurus invasion that he was planning."
Anyway, as much as I dislike most of vol. 4, I almost think of it as non-canon, cause not only does it help me sleep at night, but I personally think Peter was off his rocker while writing it. Pete wants to ignore vol. 3 and say it's non-canon, then I will ignore vol. 4 and say it's non-canon.

Works for me. Ignore stupid canon is what I say.
Since we're talking recent Mirage, I'm surprised no one cited the Brain Thief. I don't hate it, yet I can see why people don't care for it.
As for Venus, I haven't seen enough to comment beyond "I'm fine with her general existence and using magic, but not so much of injecting her into the origin, via a retcon." I didn't care for it when Fred Wolf went there with Mondo Gecko, so I wouldn't care for the redux.
For a slight shift in topic, we could discuss how some concepts that received major backlash at the time, but we eventually loved them or at least, accepted them (depending on who you ask). Ch'rell, anyone? (Again, depending on who you ask.)
