Has this been done?!

<< < (2/2)

Guardian 452:
"Dead to Me" by Anton Strout is another series involving people with supernatural abilities who work in a government-funded agency.  They cover up their tracks, even having a front man who does news interviews and the like.

THETA:
I'm in the opinion that everything has been done before.  The only difference is if you can make people like your stuff more.

Yeah, what they said.

Moritz:
hm, I mean an agency who's job is specifically to cover up other people's traces. like "cleaners".

@THETA: Yes, sure. I just want to know what is out there so that I don't copy something 100%. I mean, the thing is not set in the US and will be a comic, so I guess it's novel in a way, but I would like to know other takes on it.

In the comic that spawned the two movies, the Men In Black also looked into the supernatural occurances too. There is the rpg, Bureau 13, that spawned some books. I think the rpg Chill also had a government agency that took care of supernatural thingies. In the novel that the movie Vampire$, there was an agency, backed by the Catholic Church, that went after vampires. There is the Initative in the Whedonverse. The Laundry, from the Jennifer Morgue, by Charles Stross.
