Would you buy a team title starring the charlton characters?
I would love to see the Return of the Charlton heroes.
Take them from their Charlton run... and continue to build on [U]those[/U] stories... and those characters. Even if it meant to reprint those stories again....
They need not become a team right away.... and Captain Atom needs to be 'de-powered' from his DC look to a more relatable 'Charlton look'.
Four of them... [B]Captain Atom, Nightshade, The Question, and Blue Beetle[/B] could become a loose team at first... and then, slowly add the others: [B]The Peacemaker[/B] (without the DC craziness), [B]Judo-master [/B]and[B] Tiger[/B], .... and yes, even[B] Peter Cannon, ...THUNDERBOLT[/B]... (who's present owners know nothing about T-Bolt's origin... or about PAM's characterization of Peter Cannon.)
But they would need to have a good writer ... and a good artist ... to carry the load. DC is reluctant to invest a good writer/artist team on the Charlton heroes.
I think these characters would sell books if handled the right way.!! But DC would have to be true to who these characters are ... and to have them display who they really are and why we loved them in the first place.
