I loved the LIVEWIRES mini.

Tom Brevoort had a nice blog post on its origins here (http://www.marvel.com/blogs/Tom_Brevoort/entry/1083).

We park our cars in the same garage, there. I want a HC of that series. Thanks for the Brev blog post. great read.


Without any overt tie to the Marvel Universe, and no recognizable characters to speak of, LIVEWIRES didn't make much of a splash. Which is unfortunate, as Adam had a sequel all worked out. But that didn't keep it from being a smart, forward-looking, original series--the kind of thing that fans occasionally lament that Marvel doesn't do more of. The limited series was collected in the digest format, but the reproduction really looks sharper on the slicker paper of the original printings, for those who might be compelled to seek the series out.

More later.
