Marvel's Noir books were an amazing new take on some old characters done in a 1940's film-noir style, and the characters were the SAME ONES as the main MU, but with different backstories and edgier personas, new costumes, and a different setting, and it was GREAT! Same with the 1602 setting storyline. Imagine Spider-Man and the Hulk in early colonial New World. Virginia Colony, in the time of Queen Elizabeth I's last days. It was fantastic. So I'm not against taking old characters and doing something new or different, but why even bother with the NAME, if it's not the same character at all??! Might as well give them a new name altogether.

look all I'm saying is, I don't care.

I don't care if another character is taking over the mantle of another character. As long as the character is cool and interesting what does it matter?
