This was a cool thread, thank you for that. It's nice to know that earlier writers and editors really put thought into what they were doing. It's really clear the modern creators don't.

No problem, I always thought Hawkman was the oldest guy on the team (excluding the reincarnation stuff), I know Jay and Al were college students at their debut, so they'd obviously be younger. I think Wildcat is a little too young here, I know that he needs to at least be younger than Alan due to his origin being tied to GL, but he's definitely older than Al.
Anyway, what's odd is that in a lot of modern stories, they'll have call Johnny a kid, but never Jay or Al - I guess it's just down to how you carry yourself
>Jay and Joan have been married for decades >Joan not brought up
*nervous laughter*
Exactly
>Spinning out of the events of Stargirl: The Lost Children and Justice Society of America, Jay Garrick is reunited with his long-lost daughter, Judy. After being pulled from the timeline, Judy returns to a world where she and her dad aren’t the only ones that ride the lightning, but is there enough space for her in Jay and Joan’s life? And can they keep up with their teenage daughter and make up for lost time?
Joan is brought up in the solicitation for the first issue, she's still alive.
So is she here to fill some type of niche Wally's kids or Jesse don't already slip into? I don't understand the point of all this, aside from trying to keep give Jay a task that doesn't revolve around being a stoic old-timer.
DC really going to publish a book where a 100+ year old man has a teenage daughter like that's a normal thing to do.
You could even say it's comical.
JUDY IS CUTE!
those shoes are cute, i like them
also the jay-esque lightning bolt down the side of the pants is nice
One thing I’m genuinely curious about is if Joan is still alive, everything featuring Jay seems to be tiptoeing around her
I know you'll love my other thread.

Jay was only a college student for his origin he operated as the Flash after college for the most part

Exactly
Someone has to be the mother

So is this comic going to be set in the 40's or in the present?
So Judy is going to be a fish out of water teen ager?
Solicits mentioned Jay adapting to being a father again. Makes sense considering this a follow up to the Lost Children.
Nope it’s present day and is a direct continuation of Stargirl: The Lost Children

JSA’s for nerds. Why have them when we already have the JLA?
Frick off Mike Carlin
Comic books are for nerds though
We DON'T have the JLA, they disbanded.
>retconning shit for family nonsense.
