Unfortunately, Jim Starlin is not also drawing this book. However, if he has to pick someone to pick-up that part of the creative process for him . . . Ron Lim is the perfect choice. These two really seem to gel well together. Although Jim is turning in some fantastic covers. I really like that they're allowing Jim to basically put this whole "outer-space" part of the DC Universe together. He's the one that created Hardcore Station. And he's just finished the Death of the New Gods saga. Fantastic series by the way. And now he's moving on to work on Rann & Thanagar. And where better to start than the holy war that's beginning to brew between the two. Sure he's going to be taking both civilizations through some terrible strife, but . . in the end . . this will create the foundation for the new normalcy in this part of the DC Universe. It looks like he's bringing back some old favorites also. It appears that the Omega Men will be involved in this whole thing . . in some form or another. Also the Weird, which Jim also created, is back. Although, he never really left. It appears that he's just been exploring the planet while he waited for Adam Strange's return. On a personal note . . I would also like to see L.E.G.I.O.N. involved. After all this is their neck of the woods, and I assume they're still together and functioning. Anyways, as we all know, from Jim's work both here at DC and at Marvel, these epic cosmic dramas are definitely his forte. I commend DC. They couldn't have picked anyone better for this formidable task. Sit back, and enjoy.
