Kyle meeting Jade on Earth 2 could've been really interesting. And given that his stint as Ion's been binned, I'd definitely be up for Jade being brought back. Given that she transferred her power to Kyle, I don't imagine it'd take much to have her re-form from that power. Until anyone explicitly says otherwise I'm sticking with my personal theory that Kyle's still got Jade's powers, but they're dormant inside him. I'd actually generalise the trades more. See reprints of some of the Kyle trades would be nice (I'm fortunate in that I managed to grab a lot of them at the time - never really cared for the Homecoming arc though - really hated the Kyle/Jade breakup. It was really badly done). However I'd expand it. I'd be all over a collection of the John Stewart Mosaic series and they could do reprints of some of the old Tales of the Green Lantern Corps stuff as well. Heck, bung a load of them in a Showcase book. If you've enjoyed DC's recent space stuff then Rann-Thanagar Holy War is definitely worth a read. I'm really enjoying how its bringing both the Countdown to Adventure and Mystery in Space plots together. I definitely think DC missed a trick (one among many) with Countdown.

I also wish they'd kept the Planet Heist revamp, I thought it made his suit look far more technological than the two white straps. -_-;; After re-reading some of the good ol' Kyle Green Lantern issues (When is DC going to re-print these? Power of Ion is absurdly difficult to buy and it's bleeding crucial to the GL history. Not to mention the Homecoming storyline, in which he broke up with Jade.. =[ ) I'm beginning to hope that Jade comes back with a Black Lantern ring, and demands to know where her gift has gone. x] Poor Jen.
