Does this mean Shooter will be writing 5 ongoings at once?

Seems like a massive job every month. :hm:

Well when he did it at Valiant it was but he was ALSO running a company too at the time. As far as just being a writer, it's not too uncommon of a workload nowadays. A lot of writers I can think of at Marvel tend to write four Marvel comics a month (Bendis, Parker, DnA, etc) and that's not counting any additional projects they might have (creator owned comics, etc).

Yes, but I'll be supporting all the Dark-Key books as long as our man Jim is in creative control.

I plan on getting any Shooter penned Dark Horse book, so I'm obviously on board for this one!

Read a few pages of the original Gold Key series online, and thought it looked great! I'm hoping for a Spektor Archive!

Well if Shooter is writing it I'll be picking it up. Maybe Dr. Spektor and Dr. Solar can get together to discuss why they have such really weird last names. LOL

I'm in for it, and have been quietly hoping there would be a Dr. Spektor title.

What if Shooter just "oversees" the book but doesn't write a word of it would still buy it?

Initially I'm gonna be picking up anything that comes out from this "line".

As long as I'm liking it (and I expect to) I'll keep buying!
