Indeed, quite a fun encapsulation of lots of stuff.

And naturally, because it's me, the Babylon 5 comic thing stuck out.

Here's the way to bring back a Babylon 5 comic with JMS in control if ever he
wishes to:

Do it through Wildstorm.

Wildstorm was an Image studio, much like Top Cow (in fact they used to be one
studio at Image that split) but Wildstorm was bought bt DC Comics. DC published
the Babylon 5 comic and are owned by Warner Bros.

Also working for Wildstorm is Alan Moore, believed by many to be the best writer
in comic books. Ever. Alan Moore won't work for DC for a number of reasons, but
when DC bought Wildstorm, they created a 'Firewall' to prevent DC employees
dealing with Alan Moore.

Could such a situation be arranged for Babylon 5 comic books? I'm sure Wildstorm
people like Jim Lee, Scott Dunbier and John Layman would be well up for it!

In theory, yes...WB didn't want to let the book outside "the family" so they
wouldn't let anyone other than DC do it, but now that Wildstorm is owned by DC,
it's a possibility.
