Michael - Thanks so much! You've made my day! It's unfortunate that DC went through so much malarky before they realised it, but Earth-2 was one of the coolest concepts in the history of everything (in my opinion), and if it's back, that would have to be the best comic-related news I've heard in a long, long while.
I agree - JB doing an Earth-2 Supes would be awesome. The possibilities seem endless, really, don't they? Jeez, I hope that happens!

JB doing an Earth-2 Supes

JB would never do anything called "Supes". For more info, go here.

"I just wish they'd let poor little Franklin Richards and those Power Pack kids grow up....."
for what it's worth, Power Pack kids have grown up, in continuity, while they are still used as tyke's in the "Adventure" line - in RUNAWAYS, Julie is now an actress in hollywood who has joined a support group of former kid super-heroes who now feel like they lost their childhood to foolish superheroics . . ::BLEECH::.

That's odd. Franklin is still a kid in FF.

Other than the fact that Julie Power is now 16, while Franklin is still a kid, the portrayal of Excelsior (the former teen superhero support group) didn't bother me. One person seemed out of character, and that was intentional.

I've heard only good things about Runaways but never tried it.

Runaways vol 1 was indeed good. Vol 2, where it started interacting more with the Marvel Universe, has left me cold and annoyed, as that it goes out of its way to seem snarky to Stan & Jack's universe to push its' "We're cool, they're not" agenda, Underlined with the attitude of "Excelsior" -- greatly disappointing turnabout for a once enjoyable title.

Well, I can see how you could see that, but in the end, Excelsior's attitude was shown to be wrong. Despite coming in with the agenda of getting kids not to be superheroes, they were all forced to use their superpowers to deal with Ultron. When the two teams fought each other, it was portrayed in the classic superhero misunderstanding [Hero] vs [Hero] matchups. And the benefactor of Excelsior seemed to encourage the team to be heroes in the end.

Franklin's been aged and de-aged multiple times
through various methods (his powers were out of
control, traveling into the future and getting older
before returning to our era, etc.), so he'll pretty much
age at whatever rate the current creative team sees
fit.
