That’s just too much too sit idly by... ;) I must disagree, as it's both endearing, and the stuff of pop culture legend to a legion of Buck Rogers fans (which to your credit, the spandex clad Erin Gray was too, so you got that part right) :) As others mentioned, looking forward to what Dynamite does here, and even more so Ardden's Flash Gordon!

My understanding is that the character is definitely getting an update, but they intend to keep the spirit of the original strip and the movie (yeah, the one with the Queen soundtrack). I hope both of these efforts succeed, since I enjoyed both characters as a budding science fiction fan back in the day.

I read the book some time back and Wilma was a bit of an amazon, once killing her foes with a bayonet while screaming like Xena. (Female heroines; they just gotta scream alla time.) A made-up element in the book is called "inertron." LEGION readers will get the reference. I think it’s potentially cool but the character’s pretty dated and will need a major upgrade.
