Debuting during the creator/owner era of the 1990s, John Byrne's Danger Unlimited was a return to the classic four color comic writing that Byrne had brought to the medium with his famous run on Fantastic Four as well as working to create a backdrop for Dark Horse Comic's World's Best Comics shared universe. Moving between the 1960s and 2050s, Byrne created a story in which one of a famous quartet of heroes awakens in a future where Earth has been acquired by aliens and meta-humans are a memory. Faced with this future, a group of new heroes rise up to challenge what has happened and face the future.
Although reprinted several times in TPB format, Danger Unlimited has unfortunately not been continued since its earliest incarnations in the 1990s. I always liked the concept of DU, and appreciate the characters and their characterization. The write-ups represent some of the earliest I did either for Classic Marvel Forever or my own site back in the day.
So, Danger Unlimited!
