		<description><![CDATA[I bought Pinkett-Smith&#039;s comic, &lt;i&gt;Menace&lt;/i&gt;. It was a protracted origin issue, drawn by Dan Fraga (who&#039;s had some very unflattering things to say about Liefeld in recent years). 

What I can remember was a sloppy &lt;i&gt;Crow&lt;/i&gt; pastiche, only difference being that the main character was a criminal who had been resurrected to redeem herself or something. Pretty much garbage and I got rid of it ASAP. 

That Liefeld property was the never published, AFAIK, &lt;i&gt;The Mark&lt;/i&gt; which sounded like a ripoff of Jim Shooter&#039;s &lt;i&gt;Star Brand&lt;/i&gt; (a guy gets an alien mark on his hand that grants him super powers). Of course, Liefeld ignored the fact that Dark Horse had already published a comic featuring a superhero called the Mark for several years. I think he changed it to &lt;i&gt;The Power of the Mark&lt;/i&gt;, but it doesn&#039;t really matter since, well, it was never publishhed.]]></description>
