I miss Dagger's two-tone hair.

I like them, but they've never been the most exciting of characters. I don't think they've had a real run since what, the '90s? Just minis and cameos. And half the time, they're not even a team anymore, you get one or the other.

(Oh, forgot about their tv series!)

I know they're apparently getting a mini for Age of Revelation, but maybe this could lead to a revival. Give them the right sort of writer and approach -- Rainbow Rowell if you wanted to focus on the young adult romance/drama angle since they're either really good platonic friends or will they/won't they not-quite-dating... or maybe someone else if you wanted to recommit to their gritty street-level drug-fighting aspect.

Two characters I've always felt were best handled by their creator and not often done nearly as well by anyone else.
