Don't forget Robin as a gigolo.

It's going to a kind of dark place. I'm not sure how big I am on my hilariously over the top funny book becoming a gritty fantasy noir with occasional funny.
Captain Britain was full of win.
JSA
Re JSA:
I'm fairly sure Lance becomes the new Magog, since his power is shown to be linked to Gog's in the issue, and he seems to agree with what Gog is doing.
That reminds me! Who was it who called
And fix it.
not that i can really blame him
Well if it's anything like Sinestro War it'll blow Final Crisis out of the water anyway.
That'd goddamn better not be Black Beetle. S'all I'm sayin'.

Plus, given that Johns has been working in little nods towards Kingdom Come in JSA, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume he'd set Ted up to have a scarab, as a reference to his KC appearance.
As I mentioned when the last issue came out, I don't see Johns going through this whole story just to reset the status quo on Ted and set up a lame, completely un-fleshed out villain for future use.
By the by, was I the only one kind of disappointed by this last arc of Booster Gold? It seemed to drag on forever, was composed mainly of filler, and then ended really randomly. Yeah, Goldstar's back and seriously, that's awesome since I liked her in the old Booster series. But it's so out of left field; she was mentioned once in the very first issue, and then every now and then as one of the people that Booster had failed over the years. But the audience was given no reason whatsoever to care about her return, if they'd never read her past appearances. And did anything ever happen with Daniel Carter and the reporter suiting up as Supernova/Goldstar? I really can't remember. I disliked how Booster's suddenly all chummy with Batman too; this is the guy who got his best friend killed. The guy whose face he tried to blow off with his wrist blasters. The guy who made him sit in his dead best friend's spaceship while the "real" heroes stormed Brother Eye, the thing responsible for his best friend's death. But now he's ready to be all chummy? Come on.
Let's not even get into how retarded Michelle's resurrection was. Rip said that she was able to come back since she was from "the future," but whose future? Why doesn't her resurrection fuck up the Legion timeline, or the One Million for that matter? And what was with the little blurb about the Carter family going down in history as infamous time police? The whole reason Booster has to act like an idiot is so nobody would suspect he was capable of doing so many amazing things. But for some reason his ancestors, whom any time-traveling villain could easily reach, are exempt from this simple rule.
I really felt let down by the issue, because it didn't feel like a whole story. It felt like Johns and Katz wanted to make a feel-good piece of fanwank, and on that level, it succeeded. My inner fan that squeals at obscure callbacks to random bits of continuity is happy, but as an average reader I'm left saying, "Wait, really? That's the ending? Alright.."
I'm glad the book's getting back to the time-traveling shenanigans next month, and I hope the next writer after Dixon is able to pen a story that hangs together a bit better.

isnt the Rage of the Red Lanterns special a Final Crisis tie-in?
and the Legion of the 3 Worlds is an FC tie-in and that spins out of his Action Comics run
Wow, my comment was way off the mark, then.

the alpha lanterns are involved with FC
There aren't any "official" GL/GLC tie-in issues, but they were set-up in GL
Grant Morrison came up with the idea for the Alpha Lanterns for the sole purpose of Final Crisis. Johns ran with it for GL and built them up a bit for him. The question should probably be if they have any purpose after FC or with Johns future stories.
