Okay, some of the stories may no longer hold up in light of current knowledge -- Mars has been in its current dead state for sometime.<br /><br />However, it might be a good idea to get the DC writers to read the old stories and use them for inspiration. So, if Mars has been a dead world for millions, if not billions, of years, maybe Dr. Erdel's machine in the 1950s reached into the distant past. Maybe instead of visiting Mars in the 1950s stories, J'Onn visited a Martian colony somewhere -- there are a few G-type stars within a few light years of Earth.<br /><br />There is a wealth of material on J'Onn J'Onzz and they can be used in many different ways. I just wonder if the writers either don't know or care (or both) about the wealth of resoruces that they have in DC's archives.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-54783684276761537042010-07-13T06:30:49.436-05:002010-07-13T06:30:49.436-05:00Oh hell... this is what happens when you try runni...Oh hell... this is what happens when you try running six regularly updated blogs at once.

So far you've only posted the front cover mock-up. Didn't I send you a link to the create-your-own-back-cover page weeks and weeks ago?Tom Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279973364279144136noreply@blogger.com
