From the Archives 17

I haven't done one of these in nine years, so I figured it may be time for another run. Having recently moved, hads given me reason to tuck into some boxes that have been stored away and inaccessible. I came across this house ad for the original run of Xombi from Milestone Media that ran in the other titles back in 1994.

Are you going to be part of the Milestone reboot that's going on? I'd love to see a revival of Xombi -- or even just his supporting cast. I'd read a Nun Of The Above and Catholic Girl / Rabbi Sinnowitz series!

Before it launched, I was assured I was going to be. I was pretty surprised then to learn that the new Milestone has jettisoned Xombi from it's continuity in favor of Duo, which is essentially a Xombi reboot, barely using the concepts and instead merging two people into one body. If that's what they want to do that's up to them.

I was really bummed that the recent Milestone reboot did not include Xombi - I have read your other posts and now understand the stipulation for publishing it. Its crazy they did not opt to bring you back and relaunch that series to a new generation who could discover the 1990s the series. As you said, things like that are beyond your control. I love that cover, it takes me back to my youth seeing that. I have that initial 6 issue run somewhere, I am going to get them out of my longboxes and make sure they are in good condition.
