Fuck yes!
Nothing much. It seems like instead of dumping the ring and disappearing, Ganthet stuck around briefly to tell Kyle about the Corps and how the ring worked. Essentially a replacement for Alan Scott, who did much the same in Kyle's early days. There was still a scene of Ganthet creating the ring surrounded by dead Guardians on a very destroyed-looking Oa, so definitely a suggestion that Emerald Twilight is still in place.

an odd choice
could be good though. Especially since Conroy is apparently playing Batman. I wonder if that means he is Bruce in the Norman Universe and someone else voices Thomas or if he does both.
Steaaaaaaam
blank: didnt he voice thomas wayne in the old animated series too?
The DCAU isn't coming back in any form with the animated films. That's what the Earth 2 originally was about until they altered it.
Holy shit.
Also, I just read JLD and I Vampire crossover, JLD ends with a whimper rather than a bang. Clearly getting rid of any plot lines Milligan was preparing to make way for Lemire. And while I am anxiously awaiting Lemires run, it was a bit sad how it panned out.
It also had some references to Justice League, Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey (although it wasn't noted as such)
So that part was cool
Aquaman was exceptional, imo. Johns managed to establish an incredible amount of characterization in one book for The Others.
Hawkman ... I guess it's telling that I'm actually interested in seeing what the new team brings to the book.

I hate to be that guy
Both IIRC. He's writing 3 series. Hawkman, Deathstroke and a third title.
Supposedly, he's only the Plotter on Hawkman (as well as doing covers.) The actual script is being done by someone else.
Flashpoint isn't super continuity heavy
if you know the basics like Batman's parents were killed, Superman crash landed on Earth, Flash got hit by a lightning bolt while doused in chemicals, etc. You will be fine.
Steaaaaaaam
All I remember for sure is that he writes the book.
I haven't done any reading on Supergirl's antagonists and have no prior experience and I've been fine.
Nice tweak on the S-suit. I like the gold bands.

And speaking of Superman, remember that talk of planning things for Jurgens and Giffen in the long run on Supes, and Helspont was the only mandated thing from DC? Nah, just let Scott Lobdell take over the book in 6 months.
Edit: I guess I wasn't really into it before anyway, though
Maybe it’s just a quick crossover with Superboy and he’s only writing an issue or two.
That could be it, right…right?
Do not give him four books.
This is why my interest in DC has fallen to an all time low, the good things just get washed out with some of the decisions and directions. There's Batman, B&R, Swamp Thing. Those are the books I genuinely look forward to these days and seem to always bring the good. Animal Man and Green Lantern are good but I wouldn't have any problem dropping them or missing an issue or going to a month behind schedule. And Frankenstein's changing writers in a month which makes me just drop it and wait for reader response.
Lobdell was and is a decent to good X-Men writer in the 90's, being able to make stuff work out of mandated editorial events. His Generation X work was good as well. He also wrote High Roads, which is one of the best comics ever that should have been made into a movie years ago.
He's like Claremont in that he has a style that doesn't age well, and he's got some quirks in terms of how he characterizes people. The big thing people have is how he wrote Red Hood and the Outlaws #1 and how out of character Starfire was. He is also a big time friend to current DC editor in chief Bob Haras, so the way he's gotten gigs at DC since the reboot, it just comes across as nepotism. Because he really didn't write anything big time for years, since 2001 almost.
He's decent. Not great. Has high points at times, but he's definitely a Niceiza/Bedard-level writer. B-grade. He's the guy you normally put on a title to keep it alive util you find another A-list or hot writer to take over.
Problem is he comes from the school of Claremont, so if you dislike a character, that's it, you're screwed for his run.
I write news there. It is fun.
