Atari Force- When DC created a line of mini-comics to be packed into some of Atari's most popular games, they set the stage for a tremendous science-fiction tale. Gerry Conway stepped outside of his usual superhero fare and teamed with Jose-Luis Garcia-Lopez to create a series set 25 years after those mini-comics, with a compelling story, fascinating characters and beautiful artwork. Mike Baron, Ross Andru, and Eduardo Barreto also contributed to the series over its run.

Nightwing (Dixon and McDaniel)- After decades as Batman's partner, Robin, and many years as leader of the Teen Titans, Dick Grayson finally achieved his own ongoing series. Helmed by veteran Bat-writer Chuck Dixon and artist Scott McDaniel, the book received critical and sales success, and as the lone hero in corrupt Bludhaven, Nightwing became on e of DC's most popular characters.

Even though I am a big fan of Nightwing, I voted for Atari Force. It's that good.

Atari Force is astonishingly good. JLGL can do no wrong.

Are there rights issues preventing Atari Force from being reprinted?

Yep. Atari has changed hands so many times so as to make a license prohibitive.

That's just a shame.

I suppose we should keep a list. We have Rom and Atari Force. Others?

Micronauts either has just the Marvel characters or no Marvel characters.

Anything that reprints Transformers has to leave out the Circuit Breaker (& Spider-Man) issues.

Nightwing. In part because I can't get past the title "Atari Force".

I loved Atari Force, Garcia-Lopez was amazing in the first issues.

A pleasant surprise for me. I didn't know there were so many other fans of this series around here. :)
