I think the real question here is " has the average comic reader become less demanding of their material, and are they reading things outside of the usual superhero cookie cutter format? " Lew www.fln50.com I have to say that as a 49-50 something (50 something ) comics reader, I was attracted to this series regardless of the imprint of Wildstorm, and while I am WAYYYYYY behind in my reading, I just finished issue 1 and I am looking forward to the second issue.

People buy what they know and no one knew us. We were realistic with our expectations. Fortunately, the people that DID buy it seemed to like it. Maybe the trade will attract more eyes and when people see our other stuff on the stands we will be a hair more familiar. Regardless, the DC/Wildstorm folks have been great and the whole experience has been nothing but positive. As 1/2 of writing team behind the HJighwaymen, I agree with Paul.
