Well, I came to dig how they didn't lean too hard on any past "continuity" or anything like that. They used the era, and that outsider/immigrant experience, and just let it be its own thing. Which I think is a better hook than "hey we're bringing back this character from 70 years ago that no one's ever heard of" (although I'm a sucker for such hooks and it's why I picked up the book in the first place)


>Bummed that Red Center couldn't be brought over to the light.

She had a really interesting story, too. I'd read a spin-off/sequel
