    Other than Green Lantern DC has pretty much ignored it's cosmic characters for a long time now, they did try recently with Threshold but that didn't seem to go down well with pepole for some reason (I liked it) so do you think DC should try again with some more cosmic characters or just concentrate on there strengths with GL?

    I never really been a fan of the cosmic stories, but I would love to see some Adam Strange. I wish DC would focus less on the Lanterns and focus more on the other cosmic characters. Though I never really been a fan of the Green Lantern.

    It wouldn't sell a but one copy but I'd like to read an Ultra the Multi Alien series. Really wanna see DC revamp some of their great old wacky silver age characters. Maybe the Prince Gavin Starman.

    Step one would have been giving Threshold the proper marketing, a la Guardians of the Galaxy at Marvel. Say what you want about that books quality, but they sure got the marketing right.

    That's true, with the free digital issues and stuff.

    Anything could have been more than they did, which seemed to me as next to nothing.

    I miss the old GL adventures. They have the ability to do some Doctor Who or Star Trek-like adventures, but they got caught up in the colors thing since Geoff Johns' run. I might actually buy an ongoing "Tales of the Corps" series.

    @kal_smahboi: Currently DC's Comics Universe is nothing but Green Lantern, I would like them to focus on something more.

    Create strong mythos around characters like Adam Strange, Lobo, Martian Manhunter, New Gods, etc.

    It would be pretty cool if Martian Manhunter got a solo cosmic book, like him actually hunting down cosmic criminals, that at least might have a chance of lasting longer.

    I'm not a huge cosmic story fan, but add the following titles:

    Adam Strange

    Lobo

    Gods of New Genesis

    Challengers of the Unknown (for sci fi adventures at least)

    I think since nobody in the Universe really trusts the Green Lanterns anymore the Galactic Council or whatever should hire L.E.G.I.O.N (they were already mentioned in Threshold) and it could have much the same line-up as it did when it was R.E.B.E.L.S.

    Vril Dox

    Adam Strange

    Captain Comet

    Lobo

    Starfire

    If they needed more star power they could even add in Martian Manhunter and Hawkman.
