I'm hoping once this arc is over they do a Silver series. I really love idw Silver and it be cool to see his future, life, and relationships get fleshed out since no one has ever bothered to do a version of his future that isnt ruined.

I would love if they brought back the Silver Age crew from Archie, they're post-reboot, Ian-created characters, so I think they should be useable? Probably can't bring back the exact stories, but I really liked the future cyberpunk dystopia stuff they introduced.



mostly I just miss the bits tho

Wait, the Metal Virus was originally going to be an Archie story arc? Did IDW use anything else from said cancelled plans out of curiosity?
To my knowledge (from listening to a lot of podcast QnA) Ian hasn't spoken about reusing any other old Archie concepts for IDW, no.

And IIRC Ian said any Archie metal virus stuff was still in the ideas stage and hadn't been formally pitched as a story yet. So he hadn't worked out like, the ending or anything other than the broad strokes/themes he wanted, which I think is probably why the concept could slot into IDW easily since it doesnt depend on any Archie characters or settings, unlike say for example, the solo freedom fighter arcs he was working on.
