Checker Books releases more CrossGen TPBs

Monitor Duty discovered that a company called Checker Books has gotten the license to publish trades of the now defunct CrossGen's publications. Come to think of it, they seem to have rights now to all the properties. I guess Cal Publishing must've sold it to them then.
I wonder if this could ever lead to this company ever relaunching any of the books, reviving some of their unfinished series like Sojourn, or even trying out whatever properties they had again? Well, it's something I certainly do hope for, since they managed to be more inspiring than what the big two are being now. The problem though, is that it's possible that any characters and series that made a return could risk being watered down, and that wouldn't be good. So, if it's possible to get the old CG properties geared up for publication again, that's why people who miss them like I do should be discussing how to best keep that from happening.
