Aside from his random guest appearances, I’ve only read Adam Strange’s 2004 miniseries (“Planet Heist”), which I thought was fantastic at the time. I loved Adam’s updated spacesuit, and wish DC would have allowed him to keep it in his subsequent appearances. Despite my limited exposure to him, I’ve always thought Adam seemed like a fun, yet underused, character (he is, after all, DC’s Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers, if you will). I guess I’ll now have to search DCU’s library for some Adam stories. Recommendations, anyone?
I would also love to see another relaunch of the Omega Men… something more in line with the team’s original designs.
Any thoughts on Space Ranger, who debuted (Showcase #15) just a couple of months before Adam Strange (Showcase #17)? The character seems to be long forgotten, and almost like a beta-version of Adam. I’ve never read any stories featuring Space Ranger, but I do look his “look.”
Many Space Ranger stories were penciled by the talented Bob Brown and Captain comet was rendered by the masterful Murphy Anderson. Let’s hope DC will be adding these fantastic series.
