DC's take on the old VHS biz:
Instead of "Please be kind, rewind"
"Please give cash, rehash"
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

To expand on the above a bit:
"We also have Adam Blake, otherwise known as Captain Comet. He plays an important part. He becomes somewhat of an ally of Kyle Rayner and teams up with him to attack this problem from another vantage point."
Bring it on!

Hell yeah! Captain Comet/Kyle sounds like 'just the thing' for both of them right now and could make for an interesting dynamic.
A year ago, we had a few threads begging for something like this with all the sci-fi characters...looks like we've got our wish! I'm very, very excited about this!

If this sells, they could spin the characters off into another mini or even an ongoing. Comet, Kyle, Hawkwoman, some of the Omega guys....there's potential here.

I agree, and I think that would be an awesome series. With the ones you listed, that's already a very dynamic group of characters with different viewpoints. I think the more the science-fiction aspect is played up, as well as the 'space fantasy', the more successful the series will be.
Captain Comet, Kyle/Green Lantern and Hawkwoman...already it sounds really interestng. With my fave Adam Strange and a few Omega Men/LEGION members, I don't see where there can't be an onslaught of minis or an ongoing.

DC has just put a 6 page preview on their site. Just b&w and no dialogue but the art looks great!

check here I thought I'd seen another Hawkman - at least one who's not Carter Hall. Maybe I was just placing my own desires onto the picture I saw.

They have hinted that a "much loved character" will be returning in this mini.
You never know.

Where did the art come from that Gary used to create the main-forum-page visual link to this thread?

Thanks for the links. I did find the relevant section on the first DC page, after all. They used to not be so obliging with logical Web design -- it's been a year or more since I last looked at it.
"It's Universal Armaggedon [sic]. And no one can stop it!" One G and two Ds, dammit. Doesn't anybody care about literacy ANY freaking where ANY more?

I keep an AMERICAN HERITAGE dictionary of the English language handy when I write. (Best thing anyone ever gave me-- an award for best grades in the 5th grade graduating class.) Indispensible-- all these years, and there's still some words I can NEVER recall how to spell.

Willikers! I meant to post a cool Captain Comet cover for Outdoor Miner dated 1953, but my lack of computer knowledeg kept screwing me up!
Delete his post, oh advisors of Gym'lls!

Hmm. Captain Comet, 1953 and OM? Would it be this cover?

Well, I had a one in eight shot in getting the right one. And knowing a little about OM helped quite a bit.

According to WIZARD, this series will lead into a five-issue limited series entitled, Green Lantern Corps: Recharge! It's written by Gibbons with art by Patrick Gleason (Aquaman).
It's the restoration of the Corps. Only this time it's twice as big and most of the GL's are partnered up. I can't wait!

The family really doesn't like to bring up Uncle Dave anymore.... (Thanks for the thought, Cobes, and the link, Scott! I loves them '50s sci-fi covers.)

I hear my boy Adam Strange isn't done being a part of minis and ongoings either, so I wonder what's in store for him? And OM, I figured you'd get a kick out of that cover. That's one I never saw before until yesterday. Great link too, Scott!
