I DID think it was weird that he didn’t have a caption box for Dr. Psycho. As for shipping? I have no idea.

And yes, Funky, Donna is Wonder Woman now, because Diana took off after Infinite Crisis. Diana’s mother was the Golden Age Wonder Woman.

And yeah, David, Robinson WAS good at that. Although I didn’t like his sorta opposite take on the “kill off old, unused characters” which he did as “kill of recent, unused characters because the older characters are inherently better”

Did you not find it weird that Heinberg didn’t give a caption box explaining Dr. Psycho like he did for Cheetah and Giganta? Do you think this book will ship regularly or will it be like Young Avengers?

I’m with you about grabbing old characters to use rather than kill them – if they’re merely forgotten, there’s no investment, so killing them means nothing.

I thought that Robinson’s run on Starman was another good example of doing it right.

So Donna Troy is the new WW?

How’d that come about, and what does the old one do?

And which one was in JSA and the Golden age stuff now?

Of the various initial One Year Later books this one really came off as being the strongest so far. Alot of my enthusiasm for the “event” (would event be the right term? project, maybe?) has dampened considerably but this one had alot going for it; action, quick recaps, multiple twists and old character references that didn’t beat you over the head with how great the comics those old characters appeared in were (I’m looking at you Doom Patrol issues of Geoff Johns’s Teen Titans).
