DB> DB> Is Kevin Smith going to write the on-going DB> series? or the 6 issue p PH> PH> I'm afraid I don't know (Smith is also going to be writing the new PH> Daredevil series, btw). From a subsequent posting I read that the series is starting off again at #1, but I don't know if this is a mini-series or an ongoing! I would have loved to see a Green Arrow #200 co-incide with Superman #200, Wonder Woman #200, and Flash #200. I look forward to the new Daredevil series, for it is probably going to start off with a bang!

THC> I hear that DC's Steel ends with issue 52. I've been with this THC> title since #1. Though it wasn't always at the top of my "read" THC> pile, I will miss it. THC> I don't read JLA, but I understand that Steel is a member now. THC> Does anyone know if he will stay on now that his own comic is no THC> more? I understand that many of the other members don't have THC> their own comic. DH> Yep. Steel is now in the JLA. My guess is that Steel is gonna DH> be around for a while too. I mean, with no book of his own, where DH> else is gonna go? Well he is definately in the JLA now alright, and he will probably remain as long as Superman is too busy to come to the meetings. If Steel leaves JLA, his will most likely pop into the OUTSIDERS if they ever conform again, which my instincts tells me that they eventually will (many times over). Frankly I am a tad bit surprised that Steel lasted as many issues as he did. I guess DC wanted to wait and see how well the movie goes over and hope it will boost the interest for the character, which probably killed it more than anything else!

Frankly I think Jason Scott Lee was excellent as Bruce Lee in DRAGON, as well as Mowgli in THE JUNGLE BOOK. I think he would work well as Kato in GREEN HORNET. I never heard of Jet Li, is he related to Bruce Li (Bruce Lee's successor aka THE TIGER)? Who would be your pick for Johnny Dollar? The Crimson Wasp?

I wonder if that will still hold. Nah! They will probably explain it as his clone and Time Trapper assumed the idenity of Cosmic Boy's clone! That is if they ever explain it at all! Seeing how DC keeps changing the LEGION continuity every 5 years or so, there may no longer be a Time Trapper, and Cosmic Boy alter ego could change just like Mon-El's changed to Valor.
