Then again during the cross-over with Meltzer's JLA and Johns' JSA, which led to Starman serving with the JSA. And yet AGAIN during Countdown with Karate Kid (again?!) and Triplicate Girl....

      Sigh...

        It has that X-Men/Early Image thing going on. Which is just an odd fit for DC.

        There is Jim Lee designing and "tweaking" many of these costumes, but don't forget it's former nineties Marvel EIC, Bob Harras in the Big Chair now.

        Which I'm assuming is why we are seeing names like Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicienza, Tom Defalco suddenly back and attached to books at DC now.

            I'd rather see names like Wolfman, Wein, Ordway, O'Neil writing monthly books if we're looking to hire guys from the past....

              Which once again proves my theory that Dan DiDio gets all of his plot ideas for the DC line by shopping in the quarter boxes at conventions!
              At DC they take recycling SERIOUSLY!

              p.s.
              Anyone remember when they relaunched all the DC books with #0 issues? I think only Starman was a hit.

                Okay, so far it seems like the continuity in Batman and Green Lantern is relatively intact, while other things get totally rebooted, like Teen Titans for instance. From Titan's Tower:

                “Tim Drake is forced to step out from behind his keyboard when an international organization seeks to capture or kill super-powered teenagers. As Red Robin, he must team up with the mysterious and belligerent powerhouse thief known as Wonder Girl and a hyperactive speedster calling himself Kid Flash in TEEN TITANS #1, by Scott Lobdell and artists Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund.”

                Wow, some major redesigns here. Not feeling the bad-*** Wonder Girl or Superboy. Red Robin and Kid Flash are OK. Two other mysterious members. No signs of Beast Boy, Raven or Ravager. Bleeding Cool reported, “none of the Titans therein will have ever met before.” Hmm, this likes a pretty radical departure… one of the most radical is DC’s September relaunch. I also wonder why they would stray so far from the characters’ looks in the YOUNG JUSTICE animated series.
                So these Titans have never met. It almost sounds like Tim Drake may be new to all this too, or retired or something.

                C-L-U-S-T-E-R.

                    This is probably fall-out from Wonder Woman's revamp/reboot...Cassie no longer has ties to WW...I wonder (pun intended) where that leaves Donna Troy..Ugh

                          I have to wonder if it is the woman with powers that Booster rescues during his recent encounter with Doomday. Issue 45. Alexandra Gianopoulos was her name.

                            More stuff that looks like it will tank. Looks like Secret Six is done, Deadshot's got a new gig. OMAC is the only one that stands out to me and that's only for the Kirby looking art. DIDio writing will keep me away.

                              Not interested in another Suicide Squad reboot. I really dislike the Amanda Waller character. Very sorry to see Secret Six end, as it's probably DC's best-written title.
