Sure, however, according to TV Guide, Paramount is taking away DC and
Malibu's licenses. They're going to try making comics themselves.
Sheesh. As though the quality is going to go up just because they'll

reconsider. It was engaging, fun, and obviously written by someone
with an interest in both the show and the language.
