(since we've been discussing it on recent CBLR and DC 75 moments). Is there any existence of the "original" GL 48 and 49? I assume they were somewhat far along with the book when they scrapped it. And that's cool that Bill Willingham was the penciller on 48. Did not know that. Wonder if part of why there's no credits on 49 (besides not wanting to cover up any of that sweet cover) is because they weren't sure WHO was doing the book yet. What's Darryl Banks doing now?

Whenever they brag like that or take potshots at DC, it makes them seem classless and stupid. When all they really need to do is focus on coming up with good books. Which they do. Consistently. Their books generally outsell DC. But are they so insecure about their own brand that they need to belittle their competitors and glorify their own "innovations?" This only serves to highlight the fact that MOST of their innovations were just DC ideas which they took to the next level, or beat them to the punch (Secret Wars coming out before CRISIS), or outright bad ideas (One More Day.)

I remember reading somewhere that the Yellow Corps symbol was based on the Paralax costume from this arc.

"House of Ideas" my ass. The only original ideas they had were detrimental to the industry. “What makes this especially amusing is, if you recall, the Contest of Champions featured a text page where Marvel crowed about how innovative they were for introducing the concept of “Limited Series.” Forgetting the fact that, at this point, DC had done about five mini-series”–Typical Marvel bullshit. “House of Ideas” my ass.
