Vic should never be a magical cosmic entity. Ever. He's a street leveler through and through.

That is one of the worst, most idiotic retcons I've ever seen.

Well it does explain all the previous different takes on the character so there's that.

@the_tree: agreed all the way though I am happy to see him

I've loved every iteration of him pre-N52, and the New 52 Question is growing on me. The mysticism thing was a bit much at first, but I'm liking how it's been handled so far.

I liked how he died and past the mantle it was a great way in fact one of the best ways I have ever read for a hero to get there legacy. I don't hate what they have done with him but I did like the girl better

I loved the original take on the character, but this new version has been growing on me as well.

I can't really choose which version I like more. I loved the character and I still maintain that he had one of the best death scenes in a comic book I ever read. It's the first time I've ever shed a tear while reading a comic book. Vic Sage always seemed like the Sherlock Holmes of the DC universe, more so than Batman. Batman is "the world's greatest detective" but that's probably because of his technology and bat-computer. Vic Sage could do all that stuff without the need of technology. That's just cool.

However this new version of The Question is cool as well but in different ways. I love the idea of a paranormal detective which is what they seem to be hinting at. He's the guy trying to solve the mystery of who he is, but knows that mystical forces are fighting against him. Plus I'm really digging the power to change his face so he can look like almost anyone. That's humorously ironic for a man with no identity. He's still essentially the same character, just now the ante is upped and the stakes are higher.

So yeah, I can't choose which one I like more. I like both for very different reasons.

I love Question from the O'Neil era, from JLU and from 52. New one, not so much.
