This is good list and I love the art work. I am not sure how some of these concepts might be integrated into the New 52.
Given the "what? why?" of the recently announced Black (Lightning) & Blue (Devil) team-up serial, a Jemm revival could happen any time, and there are some fun toys to play with there.
Hmm, may Green and Red? A team up might be good as kind of a lead into a solo book, as J'emm has to go home sometime.
ya know i saw JEMM #1 in a dollar box last week and like a dumb ass i didn't pick it up. it wasn't in great condition but still.
I'm not sure it's in your wheelhouse. It's an extremely gloomy, self-important series. It's all about how racism is bad mm-kay, and how hard life is for black folks as imagined by a white liberal. I dig it as a pseudo-continuation of Bronze Age Martian Manhunter stories with loads of raw material ready for use to other writers. The published material is itself a slog, though.
