Wow, set is so awesome I can't even put it into words. Just sick, sick art and an amazing story. I just finished 2125 in 6 months trying to get caught up and Tom goes and releases this early! Need to speed through 2126 now!

Good story. I think I like where Tom is going with this. All Villains in this set. Makes you wonder what is coming in July.

Great Stuff here!
I'm a huge fan of the Black Lantern story in Green Lantern and this story line has a lot of similar parallels.
This is definitely an improvement over the previous years set that just seemed like an ambiguous 'filler' year. This set is just a Prologue of things to come and I've never seen a set shake up Feuds so much. If you really look at it, it's mainly focusing on being an update year ala 2090 which for me was stagnate because there wasn't much new blood.
Have we seen so many multiple individual feuds across the gamut before? That's usually reserved for Main Eventers who are trying to 'break in' to the scene and they may only feud w/ 2 people. Now we have guys who are feuding w/ 4 guys at once. In the Mid-Card. That's insane.
Truly refreshing to see.

The big story really reminds me of the BDK formation angle in Chikara with a hint of Ultramantis Black and the Order Of The Neo Solar Temple gimmick thrown in.

Now we have guys who are feuding w/ 4 guys at once. In the Mid-Card. That's insane. Truly refreshing to see. I echo these statements completely. I've grown old watching Tom randomly mix and match certain feuds/teams/wrestlers just so that there would be an even 4 on 4 or 5 on 5 feud between teams. That no longer exists in the Black Death era. Most if not all of the Black Death members have 2, 3, 4 or more feuds each. Has there ever been more going on in one set while at the same time being presented so clean and sharp? It's an absolute war, with more than ever going on including wild new game mechanics and a ground breaking new storyline (Ground Zero), and Tom manages to present it in a simple, easy to follow, understand and jump right into package. I used to think THE END was Tom's crowning achievement because he managed to swerve his whole audience into thinking the game might really end and instead introduced us to a whole new galaxy with Centra. Now I think this set (including what's coming next) might top that. |
