I wish someone could post a scan of that spread here. I splurged and bought Action #900 on Tuesday because of how much that spread made me smile.

Then again, sometimes change for the sake of change is counter-productive. Some of those 70s/80s costumes are just plain easier on the eye than their modern counterparts.
First comic books ever bought: A DC four-for-47-cents grab bag that included Adventure #331. The rest is history.

I've said elsewhere that I don't really like the mixing of eras for the retroboot costumes but I dislike many of the new costumes, too.
sigh
The Frank picture is adorable, though.
Clark is sure a hunk.
He looks more like Lar than himself.
I'd sure like to know what Lois' story is about!

They were both having an attack of shyness that evening. [/b]thought it was Colossal Boy, instead of Earth Man due to the presence of the shoulder pad.

Sun Girl? Do you mean Inferno? I suppose it could very well be her, but there's not enough there for a positive I.D. If it is her, not sure I'm pleased with her being a villain. And I suppose the other character you refer to is Prime?

Sun Girl is a Teen Titan foe briefly seen in the 40' s of the current run. Her name is apparently Deborah Morgna, but that is about all we know.

she was supposed to be from the future...as I recall when Geoff Johns created her. Inertia, Indigo-8 are from the future...so who knows what Superboy Prime brought? also the Persuader has a Legion connection.

Damn! And here I thought we might finally get an answer to that Inferno question we've been asking for so long!  Sun Girl? Bah! Lard Lad officially boycotts this comic!

I mean, why would Geoff Johns create this too-similar "Sun Girl" when there's a perfectly good long-dangling loose end just languishing out there in limbo?!?! Geoff should be banished to Super-Limbo himself...of SPACE!

Jeepers! Surely Geoff Johns would never take a heroic character that's been languishing in limbo for years and suddenly turn said character into a murderous psychopath!

Sun Girl was supposed to be from a future she inhabited with Inertia, where Martians are slaves because of something horrible that Miss Martian did in between the 21st Century and her time. Miss Martian was Deborah's personal slave. It wasn't clarified just how far in the future she was from, though. Deborah planned on murdering Megan in the past to stop whatever Megan would do from happening.
Persuader is in fact Elise Kimble from the Terror Titans. She was told that she's a possible ascendant of the original Persuader from the 31st Century.
