OK, are you disappointed by the idea that Team 13 isn't canon, or the idea that Johns is trying to make it canon?

(I assume it's the second, but I'm not sure I understand being disappointed by either idea, unless you really dislike Johns continuity fetish.)

Ah, geez, Thok, I wish you hadn't told me that.

Did this character appeared in Morrison’s Animal Man run, when Buddy was stuck in the past or something, and he was having tea with Jason Blood, or am i mizing my characters?

He MAY have been one of the characters Buddy sees in Limbo.

I don't recall offhand.

always thought the reason I…Vampire became the “star” of the book was because the anthology books weren’t doing so well, and DC thought giving them a regular character/feature would help. I figured that was also why the Creature Commandos took over Weird War Tales. Maybe that’s one for the CBULR column, though.

Could be true!

So does anyone know how he’s back to life? Since DeMatteis kind of killed him in Dr. Fate.

Yeah, but he's been killed before.

I think when you're working with people who are undead already, it's not too hard to bring them back to life.

Trivia: reportedly, Stephen DeStephano’s DC tryout was a parody called “I… Baby Vampire.” (I don’t think it was ever published.)

Ha! That's awesome.

Seems very much like Angel, no?

I think he was a bit more complex and had more of a direction than Angel.

Angel didn't seem to even DO much for decades after he got his soul.

I assume Geoff Johns does.

Seriously, "Architecture and Morality" is seemingly non-canon [or more precisely is atheist/agnostic about canon: Dr. 13 would want it that way.] However, I think Johns is amused by the idea of making the team canon, and has started doing some small things towards that end in Booster Gold and Action Comics.
