Grifter was the most popular, but the best characters with potential to carry the book further were Zealot and Voodoo. Chris Claremont did a neat arc with Zealot and Alan Moore did a whole mini-series about Voodoo.
I wish we could have had a Gen 13 animated series And Stormwatch. I still wish we had a Wildstorm animated Universe today in 2024. Like James Gunn should make that happen

Brandon Choi AKA the luckiest man in comics. I didn't really notice until recently but his writing was no bueno. Rambling dialog while not saying a damn thing.
The comics made a big leap in writing quality when Jim hired real writers to write scripts for the book: Chris Claremont for 4 issues, James Robinson for 6 issues, then Alan Moore for a big 15 issue run.
