Because I can't hold it in until I finish my Curmudgeonly Comments:
I picked up on Marc's earlier recommendation the first couple of issues of Adam Strange. I read them, as it happens, out of order, demonstrating that, among other things, the first issue is basically unnecessary.
But, mostly, what I can't hold in is this: Apparently, Alpha Centauri has gone supernova!
Leaving aside the fact that none of the Alpha Centauri stars (there are three of them) can go supernova, everyone on Earth should be preparing for our terrible death 4.3 years from now when the radiation front hits us.
This isn't subtle, it's not something you can handwave your way around. Life does not survive being 4.3 light-years from a supernova.
The Justice League knows about this; Superman told Adam it had happened. Where's the panic and despair?
