Publication history
editThe series, went through a creative team change right after the completion of its first story-arc, which ended with issue #6.

Editor Chris Stone took over the writing chores for the series. Of the new team and storyline, only issue #7 was published before the publisher Speakeasy Comics closed on February 27, 2006.
