Its entire existence seems predicated on the fact that the 2099 books as a whole couldn't sustain themselves, sale-wise, so its doubtful a series designed to appeal to the remaining fans of every book (and therefore, also tick off all those fans who now have to wade through a bunch of pages of characters they don't care about to get a few pages with the characters they do) would have gangbuster numbers, either. And the fact that it ends with issue #8, rather abruptly, further suggests the sales just never were there.

Every post you make about it is a relief to me that I'm not going to eventually pick up the real book now that I know what happened in the series. The end runs for all of the 2099 books were really bad except Doom and Ghost Rider which both had high name writers on the books and got much better later in their runs.
