Yeah, WS jobbing to the money-makers is my only concern. Otherwise, it could be a a wet dream for me.
If nothing else, Apollo will throw down with Kal for a good long while before losing, and since it's canon I'll be able to shut up the "Apollo to High Meta" crowd.
Doctor and Jenny are most in danger of PIS though. Outside of GL, Doctor should just be able to turn the rest into pudding or something.
They don't really job, but they find a way to get them out of the fight. In the last fight (against Stormwatch) Jenny is apparently susceptible to tp, so Jackson made her fight The Doctor. Of course, they stalemated. After that, the Bendix hologram created multiple natural disasters on the planet for them to clean up while he fought the rest of the team.
In earlier arcs, they've stripped the Doctor of his power (evil Doctor), had him join the other side (briefly in TV evangelist-villian arc), or had Jeroen OD'd on some drug.
Fortunately, most of the time when they do bring them into the fight, it ends quickly (see the evangelist arc, for example). So they're good about maintaining continuity with their high power levels, but it also becomes a burden because they have to invent new ways to prevent Doctor (and now the new Jenny) from ending the story in the openings pages.
But if Jenny's fighting, I dunno, Wonder Woman or something and not BFR'ing her to infinite mass dimensions (or dispersing her at the quantum level) then we'll have problems.
It is a Young Wally. But it's not set in the past... I think there's some sort of time displacement deal going on.
Mostly because the solicits have teams set in the future, past, and present (The Legion, The Titans, and the League, respectively) fighting what looks like the current line-ups for their respective enemies (Stormwatch, Gen 13, and the Authority, in that order).
Its not in cannon, as its set in a make believe time for both universes, almost like an Else where story. Its written by Kieth Griffen (the guy who did Annihilation, Four Horsemen ) so its got potential.
I just want Morison to start writing the Wildcats again, and I'll be happy. IMO the Authority has been crap ever since Ellis left the book 5 years ago, so if he decides to boycott i wont shed any tears.
Course, it might make sense. Written correctly, everyone but the magic users and maybe GLs would be butterflies or sent to a dimension where sentient beings manifest as musical notation in the first few seconds of the fight. They might need to keep them out just for balancing reasons.
I'd be just as happy, even with how big a Doctor fan I am...because I can't see them being involved and not needing an obvious plot device to get them out of the fight....or just making them job horribly, which would be worse.
