Title: DNAgents coming to Image
Post by: Dr.Volt on August 18, 2008, 07:04:07 AM
Image comics is publishing the ENTIRE first run of the DNAgents:  http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17620

I remember the DNAgents with great fondness!  They were so under rated.  And now they are coming out with a TPB that's like 500+ pages.  I'm going to count up my nickels and see if I can't pick up a copy!

They look so incredibly dated.

They really do don't they?  And I guess that's part of the appeal.  They look very much a part of the decade that they first came out of (the 80s).  That time period is very nostalgic for me.  Not my favorite time period for comics.  But it was at that time that I started doing my heavy duty collecting.  That time will always be represented by things like the Chris Claremont/Byrne period of the X-men...and yes by the DNAgents.  It is time period long gone now. 

Oh well, I guess I kind of knew that there would not likely be a wide spread appeal.  But you never know.

Oh hey, thanks for the reply, AA!

Though it came out as being negative, I actually love them for what they are. 80's superheroics are by far my favorite. Tacky costumes, anti-heroes, storytelling that is realistic and dark. I think I might pick this up.
