Ion basically revealed that Kyle is now the living embodyment of the Green Lantern Corps and so has to act like a special agent for Oa. Other than that it's not really worth picking up, nor is Nightwing, they're just not very good titles despite the big plot content.

The other Martians are (I think) a research team that left Mars before the plague and crashed on earth recently. They were captured by the US government and have been held in captivity ever since while scientists try to find ways to replicate their powers and develop weapons to kill them should more appear. Something goes wrong at the facility and one manages to escape and make telepathic contact with J'onn before they can kill him and now J'onn and the other martians are on the run. The others haven't been able to get their powers to work properly yet and the people chasing them have tonnes of kit specially designed for fighting them, plus the JLA aren't sure that they want to help the them on this one. It's kinda like 24 except with a green telepath instead of Jack Bower. Wink

From what i can see the only person that the 4th dead person could be would be the Question.

The first two were the blue beatel that died in countdown to infinite crisis, the second was i guess Max Lord, who also died before Infinite crisis, i dont know when jade died, and i think the Question is going to die fairly soon in 52, if not today even.

So that picture makes no sence to me, but go figure.

The only other updates i can supply are:
* Superman - being told that he has to quit as he is just delaying the eventuall destruction of earth and making it worse. In his other title Richard Donner is causing such delays in printing that i Genueinly cant rember.
*Fiestorm - He has now got a permanant merge with the proff and is aresing around with gina [his girlfriend] who they still havent finished explaining over the last 20 isues. Nothing important there.
* Green Arrow - He has become Mayor of Star City, Totally retrained to be a real hardass and is now [with the aid of batman] stoping the red hood [with the aid of brick [still an underdeveloped character in my eyes]]from transporting drugs and guns. Still nothing universe Bending. What is it i keep hearing about the red hood [Jason Todd] now being Nightwing, or am i going mad.
The only other thing i'm reading is miniseries [mysteries in space and Connor Hawkes: Dragons Blood]

Here's a question regarding the DC pic:

Who exactly is posing where the Statue of Liberty should be?

And that leads me to: Why are the DC Heroes clearly in NYC rather than a fictional DC city?

And has anyone else spotted the Atom's arm yet...?

Because Coast City has already been destroyed once, and no one can be bothered with another Zero Hour at the moment.

I think that was false rumour that was put right in DC nation, but I could be wrong. Todd was revealed to be a giant slug monster which eats people a while ago but ign declared that issue to be one of the worst bits of comic making they had ever seen so I avoided it. I'm sure someone will work out how to make Todd work at some point since there's clearly a lot of potential but right now he's pretty pointless, not least because Damien is such a better foil for Batman.

Oh yeah, Bruce has a son that's pretty important. He's called Damien and he was raised by Tallia Al Gul. Sounds daft but it's Grant Morrison's plot line and works really well. There's an issue where he fights Tim which has one of the best panals of last year with Tim lying in the smashed remains of the display case that houses Jason's costume.

Not sure whether New York exists in DC. They do have some real cities. Mike Grell moved Olly and Canary to Seattle for the Longbow Hunters story (one of the best DC stories out there). But I thought that Gotham was supposed to be where New York is since since that's where the name Gotham comes from.

Right

1. The 4th Dead person appears to me to be the Phantom Stranger.

2. To the best of my, admittidly rusty, DCU knowledge all the actual cities in America exsist but there are also extra ones.

Indeed in JLA/Avengers one of the JLAers comments that the MU's America is smaller as there in no Gotham, Metropolis etc.

I am shocked at our DCers not knowing this...

Must prove marvel has the better fans.... < Very Happy batons down the hatches ane prepears himself for the sh*t strom that could soon start>

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Batmannys got it. There are actual cities, but just extra ones as well, ie: Coast, Central, Keystone, Star, Gotham, Metropolis.

Man, I'm still not convinced about #4. Look at him!
This is the Phantom Stranger
He wears a differnt colour trenchcoat, and has a hat.
The guy in the teaser picture, is wearing a black suit, white shirt, black tie and a light brown trenchcoat.

Dan Didio revealed this weekend two interesting tidbits about that picture:

The Red Robin costume is being worn by none other than Jason Todd.

That Flash...? Why, it's Barry Allen!!!
