Respect Knuckles!

Cornell gets these characters so well, it's a damned shame this book's cancelled.

	Whilst I'm enjoying this CB title, is anyone else somtimes missing the slightly acerbic, scruffy Wisdom who didn't really seem to like people very much? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Immensely. I quite dislike Cornell's version of the character. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think the character Cornell created works, but I don't think of him as the Pete Widsom from Excalibur.... possibly his slightly more responsible, sharper dressed cousin! :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That's Wisdom? I didn't recognize him at all. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That version of Wisdom was just another Warren Ellis self-insertion. Other writers, not being privy to Ellis's thoughts and feelings, had to actually write a character around Wisdom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Except, as Ellis is the one who created Wisdom, surely it would have been better to just create a NEW character rather than, essentially, bastardise an existing one with such a definite personality (author insertion or not)? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We differ here, as I have absolutely no respect for author inserts. I'd rather see them bastardized. Or, as in Suicide Squad, killed. (Reply to this) (Parent)
