I really like that GL action figure.

Alan being in Arkham is an intriguing tease. I can guess what it was for but I’m interested to see where it goes.

Shades of The Imitation Game, maybe? Obviously the end results won't be the same, but yeah - it'll be interesting to see how they depict the Golden Age Arkham. I wonder if there are any "colorful rogues" in there... seems like a fun opportunity to introduce a few GA villains.

Good stuff. But wasn't Solomon Grundy Alan's archenemy?

I never read any of their battles - was it an interesting rivalry in any way? (other than Grundy being able to use Alan's weakness to wood) It's too bad the Alan v. Vandal Savage thing never solidified even though Savage first appeared in Alan's title.(although good for Savage he's more of an overall DC threat)

Maybe I'm wrong but I got the sense Savage had more of a thing against Jay.

Maybe Savage appeared more in tJay books or maybe his fights against Jay are more notable. Or that is a silver age thing, when he and Barry fought against Vandal?

Good stuff. But wasn't Solomon Grundy Alan's archenemy?

It looks like Alan did deal with Grundy a few times during the Golden Age according to the GCD, in All-American Comics #61 plus Comic Cavalcade #13 and #24, as well as with the Justice Society of America in All-Star Comics #33. But I don't know if that truly qualifies Grundy as Alan's "archenemy". Alan probably fought the Sportsmaster as often as Grundy.

And here are the covers for issue #1, due out 10/24 (a week from tomorrow):

[Mantis-Ray]

Ya know when I first saw him I wasn't really digging Alan's costume, I thought it was really garish.

But I've warmed up to it a lot. Especially in how the cape is drawn as this badass all covering mantle.

[StarSpangledMan]

Yeah it's a striking costume in a great way, in my mind. The cape is just too cool!

[The Lucky One]

Ya know when I first saw him I wasn't really digging Alan's costume, I thought it was really garish.

To be fair, that was the point. In his origin story, Alan specifically says, “I must have a costume that is so bizarre that once I am seen I will never be forgotten!”

Mission accomplished.

Getting called out on your homosexuality by J. Edgar Hoover...the irony.
