I hope the comic is a great success.Clearly a lot of hard work has been put into it.I will certainly support it when it is published.I,ve got no problem with a modern setting for UFO
by the way.The question is how much can it change before
it becomes something different.

I,ve got no problem with this either,but's let's not pretend it's
the same creation that inspired it.

Again no difficulties with the modern day setting.My objections come about when too many liberties are taken for their own sake that don,t expand/explain the events and ideas portrayed in the original.
For example my own concept of the Aliens does'nt mean the Aliens are different,it just means their actions in the series are more easily understood and accepted...I hope
