Rex is back!!! Yes!! I really hope that this story will develope in an interesting way, but I really hope that they could get that Rex must be at least ten years older than the twins, which I think that sometimes have been missed since the twins have aged to the age of 12-13. P.S. I'd love to see Rex wed Alicia of Shambad. |

Paul Ryan posted on his Facebook a while back that this story would be called "The Love Triangle"... so I'm hoping for the return of Alicia aswell. |

Hope! Hope! Hope! Hope! Hope! If Rex is part of the "love triangle", but not Alicia, I would like to strangle Tony DePaul! I would like to have a nice love story without any rivals on both sides, just Rex and Alicia falling in love and marry, no other stuff, but perhaps some kidnapping story or hostage story in which Rex have to save Alicia. I would really, really, really hate if Tony DePaul let him marry any other woman than Alicia since that love story was started by Lee Falk, though not finished as Rex probably were around 16-17 years when Falk died. To summarize my view: letting Rex be together with someone else than Alicia of Shambad is more or less heresy and a crime worthy of capital punishment. |

A King has to sow his wild oats before he weds, thus maybe Rex is busy doing so whilst Alicia's eyes wander onto another man, awakening Rex to Alicia's charms and thoughts that he may lose her if he continues down his present track. Thus, he tries to woo back Alicia from the new beau on the scene. |

Perhaps in your world, but not everybody may uphold your moral beliefs. Btw - Who voted already? the story is only a week old! |

Alicia will definitely make an appearance, as she is mentioned in the second installment. But, as the ruler of Sharana instead of Shambad. This is an error, right ,or has the name Sharana been used before in the newspaper strips? (Shambad is the name that has been used when I've read these stories translated to Swedish) |

I don't have the issues in front of me right now but it sounds like a error. |

Another thing that I would consider an error is that Rex claims that they haven't seen since they were children. Known facts: Last time Rex and Alicia appeared together in a newspaperstrip, they were both in love and perhaps around 14-16 years old, it is a little hard to tell, Rex could have been 18 since the story was perceded by a story where the twins turns 8 and Rex was 10 before they were born. I found it very weird that they haven't met ever since. Last known time, they "escaped" from their duties just to meet each other. The titles now seem to indicate that Rex after this long time of not seeing Alicia falls in love with someone else. I absolutely hate that thought. Why cannot Tony DePaul imagine that they have been seeing each other continuously ever since last time? |

Personally i am not worried about Rex and Alicia while i am happy the characters are being brought back into the strips after a long absence I would prefer to see more strip stories dealing with the Singh Brotherhood, The Vultures or the Sky Band or some other recurring Villain which hasn't had many appearances in the stirps. |

I would prefer a new villain, rather than all these rehashed villains who re-appear for the sake of it. It reeks of a lack of imagination! |

Now I remember. Rex is having it on with his bodyguard. This was set up in the last Rex story. |
