The no-longer-New Universe

As I’ve mentioned before, a few years back I got hooked on the 1980s New Universe
from Marvel.  I’ve found the back issues of most of the titles from the short-lived series.
It appears for the 20th anniversary, it’s coming back.  Warren Ellis is doing a series called newuniversal and there are a handful of one-shots out this month with the title Untold Tales of the New Universe.  (A separate issue for DP7, Psi-Force, Starbrand, Nightmask and Justice)  Peter David is listed as the author of the Justice one-shot, so I am happy it is being released prior to ShowMeCon in April.  Another book to add to my stack to get signed.

A few of the reviewsites around the net make the obvious comparison to J.Michael Straczynski’s Supreme Power.  I wonder how many people made the comparison when JMS wrote his series.
