Aksar mai ye sochta tha ki aakhir Best Selling Characters mey aisi kya khaas baatein hoti hai jo unhe baaki characters se zyada popular banati hai. Forums par ab tak discuss karne se maine bahut si baatein note ki hai jaise publishers ki preference, fans ki demand, storyline, dumdaar side characters aur villains, artwork, etc.
Aaj ek aur important factor soch mey aaya. Wo hai 'Milestone Events' jinse kisi character ki storyline permanently badal jaati hai aur ye bade badlaav aur events kisi bhi series kay baare mey sochne par fans hamesha yaad rakhte hai. Ye events hotey hai Superhero kay kisi apne ki maut, kisi nayi power ka milna, kisi important side character ya villain ka kahani se judna, kisi character kay Alter Ego yaani doosre roop par koi nayi responsibility aa jaana, etc.
Maine dekha hai ki Nagraj, Doga, Dhruva, Bheriya, Bhokal, mey aise मील के पत्थर jaisi ghatnaayein unki comics mey aksar hoti rehti hai jabki Parmanu, Shakti, Tiranga, Inspector Steel, Anthony, etc, mey aisi yaadgaar ghatnaayein bahut kum hai. Jahan Nagraj jaise kirdaar kay uske Past, Nagdweep, Mahanagar, WTS, aur unse jude bahut se kirdaaro kay nit naye bante, bigadte samikaran soch-soch kar fan romachit hotay rehte hai wahin Shakti Series to jaise 1998-1999 kay baad jaise aage hi nahi badhi. Issi tarah Tiranga series mey aaye mahatvapoorna badlaav jaise uska Abhay se Bharat banna 3-4 se zyada nahi hai.Ye hi haal baaki 'chhote' kirdaaro ka hai. To aise kirdaar to apne aap hi RC nay peeche kar diye.......fans ki baat to baad mey aati.
Ab aap khud hi sochiye jab Nagraj, Doga, Dhruva, ki har series unme itney naye aspects aur angles jodti jaa rahi hai to kya saalo se limited baaton kay dum par ghisat rahe characters kya revival, comeback, kay baad bhi kya chal paayenge?

Self contained issues mey slow pace se hi sahi par main kahani kay parallel hero ki apni kahani bhi badhti rehni chahiye.
Steel ki powers aur Rajnagar mey uske chhote se set up kay anusaar frame kiye gaye villains uski bahut comics banate gaye par wo wahin ka wahin reh gaya. Yaani uski kahani ek tarah se chhote-mote variations liye villains par dependent ho gayi. Ab kaun fan ye yaad rakhega ki "Brain Wash" comic mey Anis ka koi assistant villain tha. Ye baat Tiranga, Parmanu, Anthony, Shakti par bhi laagu hoti hai.
