Straczynski also pitched and write one if the best comic miniseries of the early 2000's, too. Rising Stars was limited by the style of art that was popular in comics at the time, but it's one of the best, most cohesive stories ever to be seen in comics at that point. Frankly, I think it's one of the examples of why comics started to be taken seriously as a storytelling medium, and it's kind of a mystery why every other edgy early 2000's comic got the Hollywood treatment, but Rising Stars seems to have been mostly forgotten. I mean, hell, if Cowboys and Aliens can get a major motion picture release and The Boys can be a massive hit, why can't Rising Stars ~~or Babylon 5~~ at least get some sort of animated series?
