Very glad to have a look at a lot of the early material that laid the groundwork for AC’s characters.

The story at the end that wraps up all the dangling plotlines left over from Paragon Publications. That’s HOW many years between a cliffhanger and resolution? Must be some kind of record.

In that story, the idea of Stardust watching over a migration of souls is an interesting idea, and the idea of Rurians being reborn as humans. Does somewhat remind me of Babylon 5, where some Minbari believed that there was a “migration of souls” from the Minbari race to the Humans.

It did seem a bit odd for Stardust, usually a much more practical scientist, to be talking of soul energy. I know that comic book science as it becomes more advanced usually merges with magic to become something like cosmic insight, but I didn’t previously see Stardust as having that role.

And wouldn’t the Rurians have held back on invading Earth and causing such destruction if it was common knowledge among their people that some humans were reincarnated Rurians?

Neat story, and clever way to tie in all the old Paragon stories from before. A good read.
