Here's how the guy at The Machineries of Joe answered my three questions:
1. Should I give John Byrne's DOOM PATROL reboot a chance?
2. If you had/got to relaunch a Marvel New Universe title, which would you choose?
3. What, in your opinion, is the most underrated comic book out there today?
1. Only if you're a child molester or feel that you need to repent for some serious crime.
2. Strikeforce Mortiuarieiaara or whatever it was called. It sounded like a good concept.
3. Savage Dragon.
Actually I double-checked, STRIKEFORCE MORITURI is not a NEW UNIVERSE book. Your choices are: DP7, JUSTICE, KICKERS INC., MARK HAZZARD: MERC, NIGHTMASK, PSI-FORCE, SPITFIRE AND THE TROUBLESHOOTERS, and STAR BRAND.
I liked DP-7 and STAR BRAND, especially.
Feel free to shoot three questions at me at johnoakdalton@hotmail.com.
