    I will at least try the first issue. I liked Hyperion during Hickman's run.

    Now that I'm seeing this won't be in New York I'm much more interested. Glad to see Marvel spreading it's properties out again geographically. I really wish that idea would have taken hold during the Iniative era.

    Marvel Comics: Venom, X-Men, Black Panther, Captain America, Eternals, Warhammer 40000.

    Cool. I really like this Hyperion. (Always liked the character better than Supes). I was really hoping for the Squadron Supreme series to be based in their traditional universe and see the Marvel version of DC...but the focus on them in the regular MU is interesting.

    I am also glad it is diverse geographically. I am very surprised Marvel hasn't marketed to cities ala West Coast Avengers. Avengers: Chicago (tigra, moon knight and others), X-Men: San Francisco, Avengers: Code Blue NYC, West Coast Avengers or Avengers L.A.

    I would think people from these big cities would be more apt to try the comics. Make the city the star of the books.

    Plus, some international big markets as well. Marvel Title: New Delhi, Marvel Title Tokyo, X-Men: Brazil, Invaders: London, etc.

    Same here. Glad to see Hickman's work on him isn't going to waste.

    From Wendig's "sexy motherf**ker" comment I believe that answers the question of Hyperion's sexuality. At this point it would be shocking if they make him straight.

    I like the idea, but i think that would be spreading the concept too thin.

    I would really love it if he were gay; Marvel desperately needs to improve their LGBT representation.

    I'll give this a shot. I love Virella's art and Hyperion is a thoroughly underutilised character.

    QUOTED FOR TRUTH!!! And he is one sexy motherf*cker!!!! I'd happily have Marvel trade in Herc for Hyperion

Controversially we are Malcolm X. We are Plato. We are Aristotle. We are RuPaul, god dammit! And yes, we are Woolf."

    Lol so fickle.

    But I kid. I actually think a gay Superman being a fish out of water in Middle America is a pretty neat concept, granted they don't go all hamfisted with it.

    Especially since Hyperion, unlike Superman, doesn't seem conflicted at all about his godlike stature or ability. Also he has a very patriarchal view on mankind and Earth.

    Lol! It's not fickle, it's just being proactive. Bi erasing Herc was still a poor move by Axel; but we have three other bisexual solo stars, and never had a gay one (and Herc was still uber ladies man and the least openly bisexual). So a very rarely bisexual star traded in for our first gay solo star (who always have a romance/love interest/flirtations) is a definite upgrade. I'm just trying to be positive rather than become this horribly bitter person who can't let go. Elsa it up, gurrrrl

    Well, when you put it in THAT perspective!
