The new six issue series will revive the black-and-white Twilight Zone-esque series about people discovering superpowers towards the end of the year. Unusually for a DC book, the new series will be in the same black and white, no advertisements, format as the original twelve-issue run. "There was a lot of magic in the original series that I didn't want to mess with," Wood said.

Such was its success that a collection of sketches, mini-comics and preparatory design work for the graphic novel were released, called Public Domain. Now that the publishing rights have reverted to Wood, he's decided to make the collection live up to its name. He's put the entire 145-page book up on his website as a free download.
