Anyone want to see Checkmate back?

[golgi]

I loved the title. I hope we see a new ongoing. If Blackhawks and Frankenstein Agent of SHADE get a series, i could see Checkmate as a possible Edge title.

[golgi]

Also, who would you want to see tackle the book?

[arrowsonthemyscira]

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see a new Checkmate ongoing.

As for your second question, just give me Rucka and Saiz again and I'd be happy as a clam.

Checkmate, along with Maxwell Lord, Cadmus, and Brother Eye, will all be appearing in the new OMAC series by Dan Didio...

That is bad news.

Only if they integrate and utilise mainstream heroes.

As long as DC can get Greg Rucka back to write it, sure. Otherwise, not terribly interested.

Certainly not interested in Didio's take on Checkmate, or Didio's take on anything for that matter.

I agree but lets hope its on the backburner as one of the first replacement to the new 52

I'd always be interested in a Checkmate book as it's own title, I'm not picking up OMAC just to see them though I'd sooner they'd integrated it with Stormwatch or some of the other Wildstorm characters

Ditto! They were great!

Oh, I'd love a new series. I never got around to reading the last one (was only reading Marvel when it was being published).

[Legion_Quest]

I loved the previous series right up until the last arc as I simply didn't care about the French woman whose name Ihas even slipped my mind.

I should think if Waller shows up in Suicide Squad in her usual role, and with the reboot deleting things, the chances of her being back in Checkmate and the organisation showing up there are pretty good.

[Hatut Zeraze]

I was bonkers over the Greg Rucka Checkmate series, but I don't think there will be room for a Checkmate series in the new DC.

With Men of War, Blackhawks, Suicide Squad, and Frankenstein, I just don't think there's enough room for another black ops style DCU book. If sales don't work out for two or three of these and they end up getting cancelled, there could be room down the road, but that would generally signal a lack of interest in the genre, so Checkmate probably wouldn't make a good replacement.

I don't think there are any opportunities for a new Checkmate series in the forseeable future.

There is no last arc. The final arc was called "Rooks". Bruce Jones never wrote for Checkmate. There is no Chimera.

And Josephine "Mademoiselle Marie" Tautin was one of Rucka's better creations/reinventions.

[bookwriter]

If DC cannot get Greg Rucka to the write the title, then Eric Trautmann or the team of Nunzio DeFilipis (sp?)/Christina Weir would be a solid choice.
