Dorn, Asner, and Garrett all reprised their roles from the Superman Animated series. I recall watching "Little Girl Lost" with my older brother. When Granny came in, he asked me, point-blank, "Okay, what fucking gender is that person?"

It really was depressing when he was killed by Hal Jordan in "Emerald Twilight," so I'm happy that the big guy is back. One thing I have noticed: at comic book conventions, so many fans ask artists to sketch Kilowog. And artists seem to enjoy getting request to sketch him. Seems like a lot of people out there like Kilowog. I love Kilowog.

Poozer, Poozer, Poozer...one of the greatest words ever created. God I love Kilowog. One of the best stories ever, has to be the one from JLI, when Guy Gardner gets bored, flies off to the old GL headquarters, and he and Kilowog have this knockout, drag-out battle that completely destroys the place...and then slap hands and basically yell "YEAH"! Kilowog borrows Guy's ring and repairs the place...just in time for it to all fall on top of Arisia later on. That's good writin'. Poozer.
