The figure that everyone has been asking for for the last three years is finally getting made. Mattel has told Action Figure Insider that it will be unveiling the JLU Question this week at San Diego. Head over to the ACI site to see the full image, it looks great!
Now if only the company had made a Renee Montoya figure from the Batman Animated Series, the grooviness would be complete.
Or - “The Question And Answers…”
The character of Renee Montoya was one of the centerpieces of 52, traveling a complicated arc from drunkard to acolyte to hero in her own right over the course of the year, coming to grips with mortality, her own weaknesses, even the people who had been hurt by her actions in the past. Her transformation into The Question was probably the most satisfying of all the main characters’ stories, and her relationship with Batwoman (another interesting character) made for the possibility of ongoing drama with the newest media darling superhero. So, is it me, or did this book just slide right under the radar and disappear from view in the setup for Final Crisis?
Damn, you gotta love paranoid mysteries that are fun for all ages!
I love the Justice League animated series, and as much as everyone wants to see a live action movie featuring the line up of leaguers, it will never ever approach the coolness of Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. One of the better characters to emerge from the JLU series was, without a doubt, The Question played by Jeffrey Combs (you may remember Mr. Combs from the Re-Animator movies). Unlike Vic Sage from 52 or the 1987 O’Neil run, the JLU Vic Sage sees a conspiracy around every corner. While his hunches pay off for the better, it’s the ride that makes the story fun.
We haven’t reviewed a Johnny DC title at Major Spoilers, but I quickly bowed when The Question appeared in Justice League Unlimited #36.
Where is Manheim!?
Renee and Nightwing know they have to find Kate Kane and they know they need to find her soon. This week is all about the quest to rescue Batwoman and how far Renee is willing to go.
