I was a huge Badger fan back in the day... and this article indicates that IDW will be bringing the character back! Get your truffles out and party, people!

I really liked the early issues of Badger a lot, but I lost interest as the series progressed. I managed to pick up a buch of issues at 3/$1 in one of those "Everything's a Dollar" stores.

I tried the black-and-white comeback attempts in the mid-90's, but I wasn't too thrilled with them either.

I wasn't that happy with the 90's black-and-white revival, either.

I liked the original Capital/First series a lot, though. I agree that the early issues were the best, but I really liked it all. It had some great off-the-wall humor, and the Badger was a fun character. (Besides, I HAD to like it - I'm from Wisconsin!!)

IDW seems to be reviving all the First Comics properties one by one. I really liked First, so this certainly makes me happy. There's some great characters there, and I hope that IDW can find an audience for them.

Who's next - Nexus, maybe? Whisper?

Nexus was cool. The story quality also kind of waned a bit, but as long as Steve Rude was doing the art, I was pretty happy. I've only got a few of the early issues.

I think the last Nexus stuff I bought was <I>The Wages of Sin</I> ( or was it <I>Hammer of God: Pentathlon</I> ?

I'd buy a Whisper TPB. The only issues I've managed to get don't really form a cohesive storyline.

I've tried to subscribe to Steven Grant's Whisper mailing list a couple of times to no avail. ( ...hoping for some new stories.. or some news on reprint volumes...)

I thought Nexus already was supposed to be in the works?

I didn't know there was a '90s b&w version of the Badger (i was in college and too poor to buy comics)... and you're right... those first dozen or so issues were the best.

Still, I have high hopes. I love superheroes with split personalities.... Moon Knight, the Badger... any others?

My most memorable image of a Badger moment is when he killed a demon by mincing it with two cleavers like Martin Yan. And his line, "I met God. He's a Badger."

I disagree ... it was an excellent double post.

Concur.

As double post go, that was one of the better ones.

But we know you'll make up for lack of boobies by double posting in the Wanderground.

See, I was gonna make that exact same joke. And I wouldn't have fumbled it either.

God you're lame, Ian. I swear...

Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!
