Too bad so much of everything post-Unity sucked balls.
I'll second that motion! Pre-Unity all the way!!!

Some people spend their whole lives believing in fairy tales, usually because they don't want to give up the fabulous prizes.

That is because 'most' people dont know the whole story behind The Visitor.

Personally I think that the first ten issues of solar were the finest comic books ever written. Harbinger #'s 1 thru 12 are also on the top of the list.
When I was five, I dragged my dad into "Mike's Comic Hut"... If only I'd known..

I would have to agree with you about Harbinger. I have those issues and it was fantastic.

Yes I agree later in the series it did start going downhill.
I'd love to see some of these titles make a come back. Updated some but still with the characters we know. My first pick would be Robot Fighter to have back.

Alas, the new owners do not have rights to Magnus, Solar or Turok. Ibooks put out a new Magnus tpb, but it was terrible.

I ordered that TPB but it never came out here. I guess that was a good thing than.
What about the Harbingers, Visitor, Geomancer do they have the rights to those characters?

Ha, ha... Image Harbringer...priceless. I shudder to think what Image would have done to a great book like that.
