[5] At the time, Wright, who also took part in the union drive, was writing and producing the pilot for his own show, Constant Payne, a steampunk science fiction series following a family of adventurers co-produced with Madhouse, with an aesthetic inspired by anime, pulp magazines and early Soviet propaganda posters.
[16] The editors liked the concept but asked Wright to rework it to fit into the Wildstorm Universe,[17] and the project was eventually developed into a new version of one of the imprint's founding titles, Stormwatch.
[20] Despite consistent critical acclaim throughout its run,[21][22][23][24][25][26] Stormwatch, like other Eye of the Storm titles, suffered from low sales[27][28] and was ultimately cancelled few issues shy of Wright's planned 26-issue storyline.
[29][30] Shortly before the cancellation, the series took part in the line-wide crossover "Coup d'Etat" which saw The Authority take over the United States, forcing Team Achilles to go on the run.
[31] Soon after the launch of Stormwatch: Team Achilles, Wright and artist Mark Robinson created a pitch for the revival of another Wildstorm property, DV8, which was rejected due to the low sales of the series' previous iteration and the creators' relatively unknown status.
[32] In 2003, Wright teamed up with artist Rick Remender to pitch a series focusing on the exploits of a low-ranking member of Advanced Idea Mechanics, a villainous organization operating within the Marvel Universe.
[35] Other unproduced projects include American Cross with artist Niko Henrichon, a revenge story that takes place during the American Revolution,[16][36] Lifer with artist Steve Pugh, a four-issue military sci-fi series described by Wright as "Starship Troopers meets Catch-22",[16][37] Los Diablos with art by Taesoo Kim, a rejected weird western anime pitch repurposed into a comic book series.
[47] In April 2004, after Wright learned that Leiby was writing an exposé questioning his military service,[48][49] he confessed that he had never been a Ranger, having only participated in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, and apologized online.
[3] The pair's shared credits include Looney Tunes: Back in Action for Electronic Arts, The Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee for Ubisoft, Destroy All Humans!
[76][77] The story, initially developed as a film script,[78] depicts the life of a recently-widowed female cropduster pilot at the end of World War II and her battle against a group of Nazi soldiers who crash-landed near her farm in West Texas.
