That would explain his Justice League run and Cry for Justice.

HA HA HA HA. Yes, and that was AFTER a long hiatus from comics.

That explains a lot. I thought that it was because Harris had gone. But burn out certainly could have played a part in it's decline.

On Robinson, I saw that Airboy is out. I've seen a few covers of the '80s version. So, I had a little curiosity. But when I saw Robinson's name, I didn't bother. Those JLA/ Cry For Justice issues were so appalling that I still have an aversion to looking at his writing.

The first few issues of the 80s Airboy were great shoot-em-up fun in the G.I. Joe/A-Team mould. Then political conflicts between editor and writer drained the fun out of the book.

I'm passing on the Robinson relaunch as well.

I watched a few episodes of the GI Joe cartoon before.

On another note, air is my favorite of the 4 classical elements.

I remember explaining to one of my nephews that there were indeed only four and one of the was not heart.

Well, some ancients did believe in aether...

Chinese astrology also believes in five elements: fire, water, earth, metal and wood. Air is absent

Yes, but neither ancients nor Chinese astrologers believed in Captain Planet.

Does that mean they went to Planet Hell when they died?

I wouldn't mind if some of the Chinese government officials of today went to Planet Hell

Planet Hell is a track by the awesome symphonic metal band, Nightwish.

And here I thought it was an original name by the Postboot creative team!

I like the generic-sounding Silver Age planet names better. Quarantine World is just brilliant. That sounds like the universe's least appealing theme park. I suppose "Legion World" ultimately comes from those names, though.

And at least they mean something.

Although there were some Postboot names that "meant something". There was a planet called Plevitz, and a planetoid called JS-1967 (possible reference to Jim Shooter)?

Isn't Legion World itself from the Reboot era? I pretty much stopped reading the Legion at Zero Hour and didn't pick it up again till the Threeboot, so that era is a bit murky for me.

"Legion World" was created by DnA if I remember correctly.

Yes, Stalgie is correct.

I was referring to your comment that you like "generic Silver Age names", Rocky. You are correct that the silver-agey Legion World is very much a "modern" creation

There's a town in my state of origin, New Jersey, called Little Silver.

There's a town in my adopted state of Texas called Dime Box.

And comic books, of course, used to be "all in color for a dime."

Speaking of coins, my uncle gave me a collection of pennies from all over the USA.

Penny Peyser was a cute actress of promising talent whose fame peaked with a role as the young bride in the original 1979 version of "The In-Laws".

The equivalent of a penny here is a centavo.

Penny is, of course, an informal, though nearly universal, name for the coin which is properly called a cent.

Cent, scent, sent.
