While I'm not sold on the series, I suspect I will pick the #0 up.

Wasn't Warren Ellis supposed to be doing something with Project Superpowers, or did that come and go with no noticeable effect on the series appeal to the greater market? Ellis usually provides a sales bump, which the series desperately needed (it was selling well under 5K per issue when they cancelled it the last time) and if a writer like Ellis with a built in audience that buys anything he does can't move the needle on this series, I doubt this relaunch will find an audience either.

The last few bargain launches form Dynamite (Swordquest and Red Sonja #0s for a quarter) disappointed badly, as retailers ordered and couldn't give them away (I still see piles of them at multiple dealers at conventions desperately trying to get something for them to be rid of them), so there may be a lot of skeptical retailers not buying in on this to give it the kind of initial push Dynamite hopes for (they seem to have even dropped the intro price from a quarter to 10 cents as no one wanted to pay a quarter to try some of their stuff).

I hope they do well, but I don't see them making any inroads into gaining an audience for this series in an overcrowded market where even better known properties can't find shelf space in stores.

Also at a quarter, retailers were barely breaking even on a the books for what they cost and what shipping costs, at 10 cents they will los emoney on every copy sold as shipping will cost more than that per issue, so there's not a lot of incentive for them to order high on these.
