August General in Iron, Mother of Champions, and so on? They're getting a mini-series soon, I believe. As for DC’s mainland Chinese government “super-functionary” team, the Great Ten?

The next two tries were a variant on <b>X-Files</b>-like conspiracy theory stuff and a humour riff, almost self-satirical in bent, trying to mine veins similar to <b>Due South</b>. Usually written by people who don't know the neighbourhood and the history very well. So I don't think it was the ethnicity of the characters turning people away from that series. At all. A Robert Sawyer or a Paul Gross or a Ty Templeton writing the next revival of Alpha Flight...just a thought.
