In case I didn't already mention this, it's a continuation from where we left off in TRIO, but One, Two and Three are "guest stars" in this new title. Thought it might be fun to do a sort of "series of crossovers", where each four issue miniseries picks up from the end of the last, but with a different title and new characters.

This plays to the overall effect I have been trying for, first with TRIO, now with ****** ***** -- I want these books to read as if they've been around for a while, so the reader is dropped into the middle of the action, instead of having to wade thru an origin issue (or six). Backstory is picked up as we go along.

This is, of course, how I was first introduced to comics. Superman, Batman, Flash, even the FF had been around for a while (I had no idea how long!), and it was fun to "play detective" and pick up the Who, What, Where, When and Why as I read, issue to issue.

Thanks for the sneek peek, JB.

JB, I recall you mentioning on this forum, right back when TRIO was going to be an unlimited series, that issue five would end with a moment that we would not have come seen coming.  Cannot recall the actual wording, but took this to mean some kind of twist.  Can we still expect this?  And if so, will it be in this new series?

I'm liking the sound of this.  I can recall, as a kid, the thrill of discovering a book mid-series, often whilst on holiday and by a non-big two publisher, trying to work out who the characters were and what was happening.

Another question, if I may, though: with Golgotha appearing in TRIO, albeit seemingly from another universe, can we consider Danger Unlimited as one of "these books"?  Please ...

Well. . .   Since I created them to be different "universes", I would have to disagree!

NXT MEN and HIGH WAYS are in the same "universe", tho in divergent timelines -- as is the upcoming FINDERS OF LOST CHILDREN. I thought briefly about TRIO being in the same world as DANGER UNLIMITED, but quickly realized the dating of the alien invasion made that unworkable. (Of course, the appearance of Quinlan at the end of the first TRIO series suggests that takes place in the same reality as LAB RATS, which would mean it's in the DCU! Your heads may explode now, if you wish!)
