Giffen's Kirbyesque LSH annual a couple of months back was interesting, though he's doing some odd, lumpy things with faces. Still better than that period when he was swiping Jose Munoz from the Sinner series and Joe's Bar left and right. And center. For some reason, I think a funny reboot would involve relaunching titles that never made it past, say, 24 issues in any incarnation, along with heroes who never carried their own book, and then billing this as some sort of bold new portmanteau DCU. You know, like Flashpoint, only more obscure. Thriller! Tailgunner Jo! Slash Maraud! Brother Power the Geek! The Joker! Freedom Fighters...again! Doc Savage...again! The All-New, All-Grim 'Mazing Man! Air-Wave! Golden-Age Air-Wave! Scarlett! Jemm, Son of Saturn! Together, they are Justice League Unsuccessful! Then to really confuse things, DC could buy up the stable of Golden-Age characters that included Air Boy and The Heap, wedge them into the relaunched All-Star Squadron, and then also launch an entire sub-line of World-War-Two-set Canadian superhero comics based on obscure B&W Canadian superhero characters of WWII like Nelvana, Johnny Canuck, Freelance, The Penguin and Major Domo, a line whose introductory Brian Azzarello-penned six-part miniseries would take 18 months to come out, by which time the line would have been cancelled. And all the redesigned costumes would have bell-bottoms. Cheers, Jon
