Aside:
One for the wishlist: Geoff Johns and J. G. Jones for a relaunch of J’onn J’onzz, the Martian Manhunter. yeah, yeah, part of that is the smirking, poetic imp in my soul that just wants to the see the J’onzz – Johns – Jones byline, and who loves the alliteration of it. Still and all, and gimmicks aside: this would rock.
[especially if it looks like this:]
Following the depiction of the character in the animated JLU on Cartoon Network (particularly the pilot), I’d say the time is right for a new look at My Favorite Martian.
Well… maybe we’re 7 or 8 years too late. But it’s not like the fanbase is getting older and dying off or anything, no need to rush.
OK, OK, so it’s all about the byline: Tell me you wouldn’t buy J’onn J’onzz by Johns and Jones. I’d love to see the advertising for it.

I’d be happy to cosplay as any of these — though it might be a bit difficult for me to pull off Wonder Woman with my beer gut and facial hair.
…Who else thinks that Green Lantern would look smashing with a goatee? (it might almost be enough to distract one from the aforementioned beer gut)
