By the way, one panel from Justice Society of America #1:
And now from Stargirl: The Lost Children #6:
This mini is going to be fun
"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
And, of course, how much of this focuses on his latest toys?
I'm assuming* Beware! Eclipso is within! = Johns' resurrected Dr. Midnight (Beth) and Wildcat (Yolanda)The only other one, "The Sandman's nightmare will wear his mask", I'm assuming ties in to Joshua Williamson's upcoming Knight Terrors summer event.
* Only the Green Lantern can save the Red Lantern = "Golden Age" Red Lantern
* Jay Garrick will find Joy again = Judy Garrick
* Do not trust the Witch Girl = Salem
Meanwhile, will Johns ever address the many questions others have had regarding what the current history / situation is with all the other past and present members?

Spinning out of the events of Stargirl: The Lost Children and Justice Society of America, Jay Garrick is reunited with his long-lost daughter, Judy. After being pulled from the timeline, Judy returns to a world where she and her dad aren’t the only ones that ride the lightning, but is there enough space for her in Jay and Joan’s life? And can they keep up with their teenage daughter and make up for lost time?

Yeah, the solicit does say she's alive, which confused me, as Jay was in a bar in the first issue of One Minute War lamenting that he didn't have anyone. I assumed he'd been widowed, and that would make sense, as Joan, like Jay, should be about 100 years old, and unlike Jay, doesn't have the Speed Force retarding her aging.
Judy's supposed to have been born in the late 40s (she's from the 60s but time travelled to see Jay in his prime) so if she hadn't been trapped on that island she'd be in her 70s herself. She's roughly 60 years younger than she should be. Sadly, the same can't be said of Joan.

Fairly easy to handwave away, though… living with Jay for decades has exposed Joan to residual Speed Force and/or Ian Karkull energy, keeping her younger than her actual years. Honestly, Joan and Molly remaining young(-ish) is much easier to explain than, say, Wendy Tyler.
