Some surprises.

Why can't TPTB give Johnny Quick a good costume?!?

At first I was surprised at Johnny's "costume", but they may be going with the drugged-out punk kid or something like that and so the look? I liked his last look with the cool silver helmet.

So Superwoman in now Donna Troy

So Superwoman in now Donna Troy

Don't know if Superwoman is "supposed to be" Donna Troy, or if Donna Troy is just her human name.....

I was really hoping they would flesh out Earth 3 some more and we would see some new takes on past members of the CSA like Deathstorm (Firestorm), Deadeye (Green Arrow), Sea King (Aquaman), Blood Eagle (Hawkman), White Martian (Martian Manhunter), and White Cat (Black Canary).

Can someone explain Power Ring's symbol to me? Is it an X? Is it a Butterfly?

Has anyone ever explained this? I mean if it's either of these two things I still don't get the meaning. What does it have to do with the character?

Not sure, but I do know that the symbol used to be inside a triangle. And Power Ring's power ring used to be triangular, rather than circular. But I believe that changed 1 or 2 incarnations ago. Do not know if this Power Ring (Emerald Knight?) has a triangular ring or not.

Having Donna take over the Superwoman role is an interesting twist. Wonder how they will play it out. If that's really her.

So Superwoman in now Donna Troy

Ughhhhh!

The main universe is rarely kind to Donna Troy, let alone the multiverse.

SAVE DONNA TROY!

Whoops. CBR originally reported that this team had a black version of Hal Jordan. It isn't. As you'd expect, the Emerald Knight is in fact John Stewart.

Seems like clickbait is far more important than doing the slightest bit of research first and contact the author about what the deal with the "black Hal" actually was. Evidently that would be too much to ask for people who write for this site.

I am thrilled that the CSA are being developed as their own characters instead of 'the evil counterparts from the mirror universe'. This has promise.

Especially when a CSA John has happened before (page from 2004's JLA #107)

I'm surprised no one has posted the solicitation copy for issue 2 yet. It seems one character may be getting a name change? Not sure how I feel about that yet...large-7502488.jpg
With Starro ravaging the planet and controlling superheroes and villains alike, the fate of the world rests in the hands of Ultraman, Superia, and Owlman—in other words, win or lose, humanity is doomed!
Question of the month: What famous Gotham foes are held in Owlman's cave?
Plus, in the backup story, witness the origin of Owlman in a tale illustrated by superstar artist Bryan Hitch

It's not a name change, it's an entirely different character. Superia is Donna Troy, not Lois Lane who CSA's Superwoman usually is.

She was referred to as Super Woman in the solicitation for the first issue as well as in interviews, so while yes she is a different character in that she's Donna Troy, they appear to have changed her alter ego as well.
