From start to finish, absolutely incredible. The only thing I have a problem with is the GWF, Tag Team and Women's title being handed to the members of Martial Law, while all other titles are vacated. It kinda throws off my title history a little bit, especially since Monolith and Divided We Fall already won the titles at my last 2122 supercard. So I'm considering an alternate version of the story: The title holders remain the same, but Monolith, DWF and Mother Superior automatically get the first shots of 2123 at those titles. Confused -- if Monolith and DWF have the belts, why would they need title shots? |

The storyline for 2123 works amazingly well for my fed. Kill Prey is currently the heavyweight champion so Iron Hand stripping him of the title could certainly compel him to 'retire' only to come back a month or so later with Valor. Amazingly the feud I'm looking forward the most to is Swarm vs Tricks. I love both of their upgrades. Very exciting times!

Actually these were my final champions prior to 2123:
GWF: Monolith
I-P: Havoc
Tag: Divided We Fall
Women's: She-Devil
Sorry, minor brain slip. In the alternate case, since Mother Superior doesn't hold the women's belt, she'll get a title shot against She-Devil.
If I stick to the story, both the Interplanetary and Woman's belts will we vacated, with the Woman's belt going to Mother Superior. As for the GWF and Tag Title, Monolith and DWF simply get the new belts from Iron Hand, so it doesn't count as a title loss; Monolith stays on his 4th reign and DWF stays on their 3rd, instead of starting a 5th and 4th, respectively.

Anyone else find it funny that Payback keeps telling Bloodline and Encubus that they cant trust anyone with a mask yet he is going back to the Titans to team up with his buddy Tristan? I dont know it was funny to me. New set is pretty sick.

I dont know it was funny to me. New set is pretty sick. I brought that up at the Con. BTW, on the Monolith thing, do you think maybe Dark Menace is the spy for Eugenics Project and he is still associated with Monolith? |

I dont know it was funny to me. New set is pretty sick. The way it's written in the book, he doesn't feel comfortable on the Titans either. He knows what Tristan looks like. Tristan donned the mask after being attatcked by Tanck. Tristan is Payback's friend. He knows he can trust him. .........but maybe Tristan is the mole on that team! oooOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh........................ |

This new GWF set is just incredible. SO many potential directions things can go it's crazy.
Great job by Tom of really delivering on character updates, new guys and (one ugly) gal, and HUGE storylines.
5 stars for MARTIAL LAW.

The Plethador scene is just one of the classics of all time.

By the way, 2123 looks to be in the top three COTG editions of all time. The mail man has once again become the most important person in my life (at least until 2123 hits the box). |
