JB Your latest commission involving Golgotha is pretty neat. I love the design of the character and think it was a great choice to have him as a Captain American villain.

 I love the design of the character. I  know next to nothing about the character. I so looking up info on him. I saw he was created for Danger Unlimited. I've only read one issue of the series. It is disappointing to discover that there were only four issues.

I read the reason there wasn't more was because of the failure of  'Legend' and the 90's crash. Which brings me to my question.

Had those events not happen. Do you think DU had the potential to be a lasting and successful series?  I can't say for certain if it would have. I like what I read so I'm bias.  

Also could you tell me how many appearance Golgotha has made in your comics and what comics were they? I'd like to hunt them down.

DANGER UNLIMITED was actually killed by the idiotic ordering policies of far too many shops back then. XXX units were ordered of the first issue, XX of the second, X of the third -- all before the first had even been shipped. I realized that those who bought the first issue would not be able to find the third or the fourth. No way to build an audience.

I've mentioned this before but I often wish JB would find a way to relaunch DANGER UNLIMITED thru IDW as a regular series.

-C!

*******

I'd settle for a one-shot! Double-sized of course...

JB, I have a follow up question:
Was there an ending planned to DU (like NEXT MEN)?

Not as such. DU was my FF. There would be revelations, and occasional changes of course, but no ending.

A one shot wouldn't do it for me.

I had discovered DU about a year ago, and soooo loved the small
sampling. If there was ever the potential for one those great JB runs
it was right there." Damn you direct sales, damn you all to hell!"

I had to hunt for issue #3, despite being at the comic store every week when the books were released.  I can't remember where I got issue 3 from or if I had to order it.

STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS has been in an amazing groove with the last few issues. It's great to see a continuing series from JB, and I would like to see DANGER UNLIMITED have similar room to develop and grow.
