Martian Manhunter
AQUAMAN #36The Alien Atlas is clearly on the cover, so why no mention in the solicits? Well, I'll buy that, as I dig both of these cats and am curious how their relationship dynamics have shifted in the New 52.

DC’s science fiction heroes star in this title collecting the 3-issue 1990 miniseries! TWILIGHT tells the story of how one of the Star Rovers became a living god when caught in an explosion with a race of immortal creatures called Methuseloids. It’s up to renegade hero Tommy Tomorrow to stop his former ally – but he ends up absorbing Sorensen’s power and becoming an all-powerful tyrant himself!

It is good that J'Onn is appearing in a few other places. I am not sure what DC plans for him. However, let's say that if certain people at DC retired to Tahiti, I would not mind.
Wouldn't that just make them worse?
I would like to see editors, writers and artists who know the characters and care about them and make them seem somewhat likable. I may be wishing for too much, Frank.
I agree that there was a need for a reboot, as some lines had written themselves into a corner. (Superman especially. You will believe that a Man Can Walk, after his people have been exterminated again.)
I don't think the people you named are the problem. I think it's a top down corruption at DC, and yeah, some of the creators who thrive in that environment are sleazy hacks. However, I think the majority of editors and talent do know and love those characters, and are doing their best to shield and support these concepts from wholesale prostitution by DC/Warners.
I think DC could have managed without a reboot, but if they were set on going that route, it should have been far bolder and better thought out. Andrew Leiland made the smart proposal of cancelling all but six titles for a year, and then putting all of your resources into building the DCU up from scratch with only their most essential characters and strongest talent. I would have bought those six comics for a year, and so would everyone else, and they would have all sold hundreds of thousands if not millions of copies. But we got the New 52 instead, and I look forward to ordering one issue of Aquaman and my regular Sensation Comics out of everything DC has to offer this month.
