I don't know what that is. Was that the '90s?

It was an event where alien parasites gave random humans super human abilities, think of it as something along the lines of DC's answer to the X-Men

I liked the majority of the Bloodlines characters back in the 1990s (Hitman not among them  ) and bought a lot of the mini series that followed. Not even I was asking for their return. I might be curious enough to grab it out of the quarter bin......someday. |

Of course it would be J.T. Krul. All DC needs to do is announce Liefeld as the artist and this whole thing will collapse into a black hole of suck.

Just in case you had any doubt Bob Harras wants everything 90s to be new again at DC...

I don't know what that is. Was that the '90s? It was a crossover in the 90s, only notable for the fact that it gave birth to Garth Ennis and John McCrea's Hitman series. |

It had a 2 issue mini and ran through the DC annuals in '93 comprising 3 separate but related storylines...Outbreak, Earthplague and Deathstorm   all marked by a unifying trade dress...   and even got its own trading card line...  it's essentially the worst DC excesses of the 90s in microcosm. -M |

Why would anyone think this was a good idea?

Why would anyone think this was a good idea? The same people who thought hiring Harras as EIC in the first place was a good idea? -M |

It took a good writer to re-invent The Hitman character and move him away from the original super powers that he had in that crappy series. He almost never uses them in his comic.

I can't wait for Marvel's "Lifeform" event response. Sheesh.

Has the creative well at DC run completely dry?
