Im not too keen to see Houdini's face & name slapped on nonsense like this...just to make a few bucks off a famous dead man.

I'm actually coming around to that same thinking, Joe. While I don't read it myself, I still always liked the idea of Houdini fiction because in it's own way it's a testament to Houdini's continued popularity. And Houdini was the hero of fictional adventures even in his own lifetime. But now there is just SO much of it, and much of it does feel like a cash-in on his name. Also, I don't love the idea of kids intro to Houdini being as a crime fighter with magic and history sidelined. So, yeah, I'm starting to turn on it (I've largely stopped collecting it).
