I forgot this book existed. I think the owner of this company passed away due to a car wreck. I think the company is still in business though. cfs |

I've never heard of the company before, either. Louise Simonson has written some pretty good stuff in the past. |

Of course fans now only want Jim Shooter's version of Magnus so it was doomed to suffer criticism unless he was hired as the writer. It might be a very good read if you were to approach it with an open mind. I don't know why Dark Horse doesn't hire Shooter to write Solar & Magnus and then acquire the rights to publish them alongside Dark Dominion & Broadway characters. Only VEI fans would protest Shooter working on the characters he defined. Q |

What a Thunder-Stealer that would be! |

As you well know.... income is income.
Some of the most esteemed and prolific work from creators has come in their later years. There are many famous people who did not even achieve their fame until they were in their 80's.
