Argh! Every time I see an article about First coming back I just *know* there will be some news about E-Man... :(

As for the future, Levin said he has had discussions with nearly all of the former First Comics creators regarding bringing back their work. Levin said he spoke with Mike Baron and "I can almost assure you there will be a new 'Badger' that Mike will write, probably in 2013."

I'm totally buying this, Larry!

I was excited when I first heard this, but, no American Flagg, Grimjack, Nexus ? I loved all of those series. No Lone Wolf & Cub ? No Dreadstar ?

Glad to hear Badger will be back.

I hate to say it, but I was at C2E2 and I went to their booth. The new First Comics aren't going to be around for long. Badger looks like the only halfway decent book they have.
