Yes, please! Nice to see One-Million getting some love, that was one of the few “events” that I think actually worked. I remember Grant Morrison saying that it was an attempt to give even more toys for the DC Universe to play with, like how they would use Earth-2 or the Legion of Superheroes. What’s your take on it?

This is awesome. I missed One Million when it first was released and spent some time searching the Long Boxes to get them all.
I see the Toy Wonder on the cover, any other fun character cameos to tease? Are you only touching on ideas/characters already created or do you get to break some new ground since they don’t get back to that universe very often?
Looking forward to December!

Can’t say too much about the story yet, I’m afraid. But I CAN say that DC One Million was one of my absolute favorite crossover events EVER in the DCU, and I’m RIDICULOUSLY jazzed to get a chance to play with those toys!
Greg
Agreed! One of my absolute favorite lines in a comic ever is Batman One Million’s “This is worse than the time we reopened Pandora’s Box”, so you can count me in.
