His run on the series ended with issue No. 49, one issue before the book was canceled.

In July 2009 [[Dark Horse Comics]] announced at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] that Shooter would oversee the publication of new series based on [[Gold Key Comics]] characters from the [[Silver Age of Comic Books]], such as [[Turok]], [[Solar (comics)|Doctor Solar]], and [[Magnus, Robot Fighter|Magnus: Robot Fighter]], and write some of them as well.<ref>Manning, Shaun (July 25, 2009).
