DC goes through periodic phases where they rediscover brilliant proposals they'd canned previously and suddenly find a way to make them happen (usually when the property, team-up or writer/artist becomes very popular). I wouldn't be surprise to see this happen some day, maybe as a joint publishing venture between DC and IDW. If so, Chris Roberson would be my first choice to script that third issue from Stevens' outline. Chris has already shown he can write an analog of the 1938 Superman to great effect.Jayme Lynn Blaschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919766841748858790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329139329489259389.post-71507322521302018762011-07-15T05:56:37.809-05:002011-07-15T05:56:37.809-05:00Thanks for this.

I'm very much a Rocketeer fan (still have my lapel pin from the movie premiere) - but, while I'd really like to possess that $250 artists edition, I'd much rather have a rocket pack.<br /><br />One reason I think the whole thing works is that the era in which it is sent is one in which "anything was possible". Within that context we're not concerned with fuel consumption, aerodynamics et al.<br /><br />Interestingly, regarding the proposed 3rd story: Martian invasions seem to be on a strict 40 year cycle (111, 71, 31 years - the novel, the radio play, the album), so perhaps we'll see that comic come 2018....
