Yes, I read the first 3 pages first. DON'T READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW!
- So Wolf's back to challenge Monolith. Eh, I'm kinda on the fence right now about it. Like the drawing and the roll finisher though.
- Slave Beast is now Malkuth, the lord of the Jungle and also tag specialist extraordinaire. NICE!
- Really enjoy Endgame's storyline and new attitude!
- Man, Sly Drury's tough now. Love his finisher, CRIME LORD!
- Havoc's new art rocks!!! Can't make fun of him anymore. Best drawing of the set IMO.
- Man, Retribution is TOUGH on defense. Solid card
- I thought Strafe would be better....BAD level 3 defense.
- The Betrayer's still a wuss...what a psycho look on his face!
More to come on Daimyo, Vidtek, and US Male later!

Havoc is easily my favorite guy of the 2122 closely followed by US Male right now...
hard not to love everyone in the set though....
I'm pumped about WOLF...him vs. MONOLITH is just a natural feud not to mention other story-line possibilities with Swarm, Nosfera, Kill Prey, The Gladiators, Outlaw Nation, Strutter's team, Endgame...he just works with everyone...
STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I've just been spoiled (but considering I'm still is 2120, I wasn't planning on waiting till I buy the set to read the spoilers  Hell, I was super pumped for Monolith and I waited half a year to order that set!) Since we're spoiling it proper now, can someone post up the teams and feuds for the year? It'd be much appreciated. Also, just needed to add that Wolf was my favorite from the early years, and I'm really intrigued to see his new card and the storyline possibilities of him coming back. |

Wolf is back! I am looking forward to jobbing that overrated fleabag out to Monolith. This will be a fun year.

Having Wolf back is great. Sly however is the real winner in the set I think.

Guys, enough. Seriously, the train has left the station, we aren't fooling anyone anymore. Nobody's gonna buy this "Wolf comes back" malarkey.
If you read this before getting your set, shame on you.
Anyway, I like the Havoc drawing, but I can't help but imagine him walking up to Disaster or Wolf and intoning in a raspy voice, "Are you a GOD??" Cool possibilities even if he does still look and act like he cries himself to sleep every night while listening to Dashboard Confessional.
The new Sly looks awesome, but if his first match is any indication, it's not going to be enough to take down Endgame in the long run. He'll need help, and better help than American Guy or the Betrayer.
Really anxious to see where the Endgame story goes. Tom explicitly said that he still sees Endgame as the next Lord Nexus and that he won't be going in a Commando Sam-type direction. Frankly, his arguments with Massif all make sense and Massif comes across as an ineffective, bureaucratic Jack Tunney-type.

Havoc reminds me of Orton...Drury of Edge and US Male as Cena...in thier own ways... I think it's the stats  |

Shame on you all for not mentioning Epoch getting shot or Vengence officially being dead. I'm intrigued to see where this Epoch thing takes us.

Or is she? Or the fact that is was The Betrayer that drew the gun at ringside on Anivar? Yeah, lots of 'shocks' in this story, I guess. I really liked the argument Endgame had with Massif, gives him more personality. Creating a new Galactic Code really gives his crusade more 'weight'. Man, the FDF and Outlaw Nation teams are huge! |

Some cool lines -
Valour to Betrayer - "Man, now I see why you wear a mask."
American Guy - "Endgame is a shiny alien freak."

And no mention of Betrayer's apparent new...*cough* "inclinations."
(For those who missed it, Betrayer is believed to share a common link with members of the following bands: Judas Priest, Husker Du, Culture Club, Queen, Erasure, and N Sync. Happy guessing.)

I don't think he's gay...I think he just plays mind games...I kind asked Tom about this and he definitely didn't come out of the closet or anything...
