Micah Wright's rejected DV8 pitch
I don't know about you, but I find failed comic book pitches to be utterly facinating. This one, by Stormwatch's Micah Wright deals with another superhero team once penned by Warren Ellis, DV8. DV8, for those who didn't read comics during the mid-nineties was a spin off from the popular Wildstorm comic Gen-13. Where Gen-13 dealt with superpowered teens trying to make the world a better place, DV8 dealt with selfcentered, self absorbed teens who wanted to fuck shit up. Despite great art by Humberto Ramos, comic fans didn't really care for the unlikable cast and the series was eventually killed. The lack of interest in the characters is probably what killed Wright's pitch, but it's still nice to see what could have been. Give it a look, why don't you?
