And they probably had paperwork that would've made Salaak throw up his hands and quit. <br /><br />But...I wish they had gotten popular enough for DC Direct to give them a shot: male and female bodies, with interchangeable heads? How sweet would that have been?googumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843267619711712271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28703497.post-71391187485987302082011-05-02T15:20:23.459-07:002011-05-02T15:20:23.459-07:00The Darkstars always felt a bit like wannabe's...The Darkstars always felt a bit like wannabe's to me.

I do like the visuals of the costumes, even though you're right in the fact that a GL's ring is better protection than the suit. I have issues 5-7 myself, if only because of the awesome Travis Charest art, and the fact that the then GA Hawks were in the story. I'd be interested in the Darkstars concept returning. If Johns likes them and really puts some thought into them, then they could have another decent run, if only in the short-term.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.com
