But Mighty Samson? Really? Is there a big market for that character? I guess we'll find out...
Remember, when Valiant launched and announced the revival of the GK3, there were plenty of people who said "is there a market for those characters?". And probably another younger crowd who said "Who?". But Jim revived them and brought them into the 20th century and made them interesting again with good writing. No reason to think he can't do it again :thumb: Can't wait!

Well, Jim picked the cream of the crop the first time around. The GK3 had the greatest possibility of success and I'm sure that's why he chose them.

If Jim plans on tying the characters together in the same universe for DH, I think he's going to have a real challenge on his hands with Sampson.

Agreed, DH could not have picked a better person to give them the best shot possible.

Yup, the second action listed towards the end of VEI's lawsuit would prevent Jim from working on the Gold Key characters in any way...ever. :(

I'm hoping the judge doesn't side with VEI so we can get some comics.

Even so, that can take quite awhile to occur.
