It sure is intriguing when the possibilities are brought in and thought about. While its natural to think about the Valiant and Gold Key possibilities, I would wonder if Jim feels he has the same "unfinished business" with Defiant and Broadway as he did with Valiant? No idea. Even if Jim does, I'm not so sure Alan and Pauline Weiss would feel that way. Would Plasm be the same without Lapham? Recreating the chemistry would be tough. Defiant1 Money talks.

Jim may be interested in them, but I just don't know if there's a true market for this type of 'action' team. His efforts might be better used in bringing back the real Fatale. Just my take. The Aliens were a decent back-up feature to Magnus, yet they never rated their own series. GK was all over the place (as was Dell previously), and the editor-in-chief for the whole line (I forget his name) surely had his plate full. To be honest, I was never a fan of Gold Key's characters. Jim's writing made all the difference. Charlies Angels did well. Danger Girl got some attention. There's not a significant market for any comics being published today hence the very low print runs. Whatever market there us, it will have to be created anyway. Thinking outside the box (no pun intended) is the the only way to create a new audience. "Sex sells" is an old phrase people say. I don't think that's changed in thousands of years. Defiant1 "Birds of Prey" from DC comes to mind when thinking about these books. It featured girl group lineups like Huntress, Black Canary, Oracle, Catwoman, Lady Blackhawks...That one ran for 127 issues and just relaunched again into "Gotham City Sirens" last month. It had long writing runs by Gail Simone and CHuck Dixon too. There could be an audience for a Jet Dream/Stunt Girls book especially with Shooter writing. People are still buying "Buffy" like crazy.

Actually, Buffy is their #1 book... but it already had a female following from the TV show.

Birds Of Prey and Buffy are two of the most successful modern day comics starring females as far as sales go. An old rule of thumb in the eighties and nineties used to be books starring females didn't sell well, but that may no longer be the case.

Phoenix, AZ in the house! You lost me with that one. Defiant1 Clearly the crowds I run with are hipper than the ones you do.

Here is the next transparent gif I'm working on. This is an "in process" work. I tried to keep the shadows, but ran across some problems with them going out of frame on the right, so I'm scrapping those. I'll keep the jet and remove the palm trees. Thet won't look good reduced anyway. Q

If I don't assign a color to the transparency it will end up saving as white. If I let it save as white, that shade might match some of the white pixels in their outfits. For that reason, I flood fill with a color that is unlikely to end up anywhere else in the final image. Otherwise individual pixels on the rest of the image will be transparent also. It won't look great on black without tweaking the individual pixels. It looks good on white. Actually, it looks a LOT better than I thought it would. defiant1

Those are cool backgrounds for a flashing gif. Jet Dream seems like it would have an Austin Powers/Fembots vibe to it. ;D

Hells yes. Yeah, but how do you REALLY feel? Defiant1 lol....They can also use her character as a good bridge to then bring in the rest of the lingering properties into the mix too. (Plasm and Broadway) Like Shooter said in the Comicon panel: "With Mike (Richardson's) help, all things are possible!" ;D
