Just call me "Oops Craig" My apologies to you Somebody. You asked about Blok's costume. As to the other fact, I wasn't actually trying to get the title of the thread correct, I was just paraphrasing. But I can see how that would be misleading to anyone who went looking for the source. Especially when I mistakenly credited the parties involved. Thanks for pointing out these errors. I'm going to edit my earlier post, so's not to confuse people or miscredit-where-credit-is due!! Craig (Oops or Omni, you be the judge).

Also, thanks for linking to the thread itself Somebody. I should have done that too, so people could see for themselves (as I'm sure they would want to do).

Just read JSA 51 and had to comment!
I for one am as excited about JSA as I've ever been. As far as pure fanboyism goes, JSA is right up there with The LEGION (as is Squadron Supreme) for me. I love how Geoff panders to Justice Society fans and I'm in the camp that the Legion appearance was a 'teaser' peek of the future. Geoff's big on those, and as he's DC's "Writer of Choice" right now, he probably had full approval from TPTB to do this.
I'm thrilled for Blok's fans. No one should be without their favorite character. Of course, as it's a Stone Boy/Blok posboot hybrid, it won't be EXACTLY the same (Dryad was destroyed, remember) but close enough...

AR Alert! Justice Society of America #1 apparently has some important Legion-related appearances.

one thing I have noticed about Geoff's writing is that he usally likes to pick up unused story threads.
I am not that versed in Legion History. but tell me this, why would dawnstar be on Thanagar looking for Starman? did the planet figure in some past legion story.

It does fit if you think of Dawnstar as a Hawkman/Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman Legacy. I was a little creeped out by the borg/necromongers, but those last few pages were amazing.

Starman says something about the star on Thanagar, which Geoff Johns has confirmed in a reference to Dawnstar.

It's great to see Johns picking up on Legion tropes for the new JSA book. Of course, he already has a track record of turning Mordru into a cool villain, and he made good (if illusory) use of the LSH in Power Girl's "origin" story. It's always good to see the current-day DCU reaching out to the Legion, rather than vice-versa.
...but you don't have a moment where you're sitting there staring at a table full of twenty-five characters with little name signs that say, "Hi, my superpower is confusing you!"

I second you, DoubleChinner!
As for Dawnstar, I expect her place of origin will be changed to Thanagar as opposed to her original Amerind descent. I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened sooner, since Thanagar has much more background and story possibilities than 70's-ish Starhaven.
The use of LSH characters - Mordru in JSA starting a few years back, plus the LSV in Superman/Batman and the LSH cartoon have all been a big boost to the current LSH without muddying the Waid storyline.

Remember this? I wonder if Three Worlds was a glimmer in Johns' eye when this was envisioned?

I know I've seen that before, but for the life of me I can't remember from where. Pray tell, where is it from?
