Good news/bad news

Good news: Vertigo is doing an updated "Losers" series.

Bad news: Other than the title, it's got nothing in common with the original. The creators haven't even read anything Rob Kanigher did. See the inverview at http://www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/pulse.cgi?http%3A//www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi%3Fubb%3Dget_topic%26f%3D36%26t%3D000430

The series itself sounds okay, but I'm not sure why they feel the need to attach it to this particular property.

Gunner and Sarge must be rolling over in their graves.

*nod* The worst insult was naming someone on the new team "Pooch."

Ok, I'm no comic guy, but how can you do a series using an old series name and never have read the series and on top of that, still not have read the series after you get approval to do the new one?

But, I have read the losers, at least a few issues. Don't recall much about it at all, but I do know I read it.
