Mighty Mutanimal Benchwarmers get their moment in the spotlight?

In the grand scheme of the comics industry, there aren't a whole lot of Mighty Mutanimals fans out there. Take the number of fans who are willing to buy a Mutanimals comic and then subtract all the fans who won't be interested because the comic lacks every Mutanimals character they recognize.

I just can't fathom it being even a modest seller. I'll buy it, of course, because I like Ryan Brown's work and the concept of the Mutanimals in general (and I'm a competionist consumer whore). But I don't see this appealing at all to the casual fan with fond memories of the Mutanimals or even a lot of the hardcore fans, who won't see it as being the "real" Mutanimals.

Then it probably has roughly the same chance of succeeding as any other indy comic with unknown characters, with possibly slightly more of a chance because there will be a small amount of familiarity with a few fans.

It's probably still going to be a major underdog like anything that isn't a Marvel or DC comic, but I don't think it's going to necessarily fail just because it's loosely based on a TMNT spin off but may not appeal to hardcore fans of that spin off. Who knows, it might have decent success if it gets good buzz.
