I think my chances are still the same, as in pretty good. It's more of a perception thing. I don't want to be the "me, too" guy. Desperate Times is at Image, and now Phantom Jack...it just feels like old news. Of course, nobody would probably care except for me, so maybe I'm looking at it wrong.
It could turn out that the time isn't right for Northwood. I may have to go through a period of paying dues on superhero comics. This has come up as a possible option for me at Marvel. I'm not crazy about the idea (I can hear some of you shouting at the screen, "What is he saying?!"), but I think I'll give it a shot.
