Adam Strange showing up in WONK #10, that makes a lot of sense actually.
Very sad.
His art was incredible, and the place Robinson was going with Mon-El was really exciting, but now it seems like none of it will actually come to fruition in an organic fashion.

Or something equally stupid.
Potentially, a mind control device.
Or a rebellion symbol.
Stupid. But I think we'll actually find out next week.
his last name is 'el' (or he chooses to go by Mon-El at least). El is the family name and the Superman logo is the crest for the House of El. Ergo, he's wearing the logo for his family. There's no other real justification required.

I'd rather have it not be obvious than have it over the top, like Rogue and Gambit
His name is Lar Gand. He's a Daxamite. Thought he was Superman's big brother or something. You can read the whole thing on Wikipedia if youd like.
He landed with amnesia (I think). He crashed on a Monday, and he had the same powers as Kal-El, so he became Mon-El.
It's almost certainly going to be in Superman: Secret Origins, so look for it there.
He disowned Daxam when he left, so it makes sense that he also disowned his old name and went with the name Superman gave him.
Anyway, I think Matt Sturges is a far better writer than Willingham but JSA All Stars' lineup looks lacklustre to say the least. Sure I like most of them, don't like only a couple of them (especially Magog) but they're not really the characters I read JSA for.
I read the books for the generational and family aspect that no longer exists, which means I'll just ignore it all together. As much as I love Ted, Alan, and Jay, I also really love Cyclone and Star Girl.
And how about James Robinson writing Blackest Night JSA?
Nothing really special or two surprising, beyond the fact that all of the blackest night tie ins to the normal ongoings seem to be two parters.
Looking forward to the REBELS trade.
Also, the Mon-El collection is surprisingly massive. That went from a maybe to a definitely.
It's probably due to the missing week. I bet it'll double ship in January.
Alternately, if you have a twitter, Robinson is normally pretty good about answering fan questions on things like that.
Is this his first DC work?
Batman could solve this mystery, but he's not here anymore. The perfect excuse......

Except for that stupid David Arquette Robin story in the one Halloween special
edit: also Dan Didio's Aquaman/Jesus story
Holy shit, a holiday issue with a good talent line-up? Awesome!
Outside of that, there's not much grabbing my attention. Having Vartox show up in Power Girl is a stroke of mad genius, Lobo looks neat, Tom Mandrake on Outsiders is pretty cool, and the Creeper hardcover, featuring the Steve Ditko material, is a must-buy.

Mainly because the Batman snowman got run over by snowman Flash.
That, or he's glaring at Red Tornado. I can't tell.
Nah, he's looking at the little kid checking out Huntress, solemnly intoning, "Think clean thoughts chum."

Huntress must be freezing her ass off
