I had very mixed feelings about the Innovation series. I was glad that they attempted to continue the franchise but the end result was often frustrating. I was quite interested in how they planned to resolve the NBC cliffhanger but less than thrilled that they chose to set the stories during a six week gap in the miniseries. If they had held to a monthly publishing schedule, it would taken over a year to get there. More than 2 years after the show had been off the air. And, to call their schedule erratic, is an understatement.
Innovation produced some pretty good books. The Lost in Space book, though also plagued by delays, was quite well done, especially once Bill Mumy started writing them. Silas Smith produced some extremely nice artwork. But, as good as the painted artwork was, I wonder if that contributed to the delays. It looked quite good but the traditional comic book audience (not the DS audience) seems to prefer pen and ink.
I'll save any other comments for later postings. I do seem to remember that Lara Parker was going to be doing some sort of DS comic for Innovation. Was it the story that she eventually turned into Angelique's Descent?
