I don't see any problem with trying out new series with old characters.  After all, you'll get gems like Morrison's Animal Man, Morrison's Doom Patrol, Gaiman's Sandman, Wagner's Zorro, (and a hundred other titles that are slipping my mind right now).
Hell, Alan Moore has made an entire career out of regurgitating the same old tired characters (Watchmen, Miracle Man, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tom Strong, Lost Girls, etc).

Trying out new titles with pre-existing characters is a helluva lot better than yet another Spider-Man, or Wolverine, or Batman title.

(Spencer's Thunder Agents is a great read.)


   Most of the stuff your talking about happened 20 to 25 years ago between 1985 and the early 1990`s, so what we have now is a regurgitating of a regurgitating. It`s time for some new characters, we can talk and fondly remember nostalgia about these 45 year old characters but in reality new characters should be created so the younger generation can have some heroes to call it`s own. There is a reason why the younger generation has flocked to manga and videogames,as the manga and the video game industry constantly continue to create new and exciting characters each year, while here in our little niche comic book world we contine to get nostalgic about regurgirated characters who continue to get cancelled decade after decade. Maybe there is a reason why Doom Patrol,Gold key heroes,Thunder Agents and the Archie Superheroes get cancelled after a few issues every decade, maybe it`s time for the comic companies to create some new kick- start characters instead of relying on 40 something years olds fondance for nostalgia.
