One of my favorite superheroes. The man with no face, who only asks questions. He is a possible nihilist, a fan of western and eastern philosophy. He knows martial arts, he wears a fadora, trenchcoat, suit and tie. He is a journalist, cab driver and mystery man. He died last year, in the fantastic and landmark series 52, of cancer, and before succumbing outside the mystical city of Nada Parbat, he chose and trained a succesor. Still, for many of us, the original Question will always be our favorite. Will the new one do well or will they bring the original back? And next to other heroes, is their enough interest into a pulp noir/philoshpical super hero? That's the question, isn't it?
