Unexpected cameo from Blackest Night #3
So there was this splash panel in #3, with Firestorm looking at all the monitors...

But who's that in the lower right...

Not just any unknown solider, but The Unknown Solider>! At least I hope. That would be such an unexpected stealth relaunch.

	According that wikipedia page Unkown Solider is a Vertigo guy now. Aren't they banned from main DCU titles? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Different guy, I think. The new series takes place in Modern Africa, although the last time the old WWII guy was seen was in a Vertigo mini by Garth Ennis (which had a few lines that could imply that it took place in the DC proper, back when the lines between the two were a less solid).

	Like Animal Man or any of the Sandman characters that have appeared in DC titles over the years? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DC's current official policy is that DC characters are not allowed to appear in DC comics if they are currently featured in a Vertigo title. By the same token, DC characters that are currently featured in a DC title can't appear in Vertigo titles. Also, DC does not allow John Constantine, Swamp Thing and major Sandman characters to appear in DC titles outside cameos. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thought you were gonna point out Black Adam's Brother in law being resurrected, whatever his name is. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh joy, Osiris is back... as a zombie. Yeah... THAT'S what I wanted for him to return. (Reply to this)

	... WTF? Is that Crispin / Spectre near the upper-right corner? o_O (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mullon 2009-09-18 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yep. Happened in Blackest Night 2. He's also a giant now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	xammax 2009-09-18 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Think about it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	trueredorion 2009-09-19 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Yes and it actually makes sense since God basically imprisoned him in Crispin's corpse as punishment in Infinite Crisis. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	mullon 2009-09-18 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, maybe Firestorm is actually going to do something in this issue. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	HE GONNA GET U I'm kinda surprised they remembered him. I miss Dimitri. ): I hope he comes back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Agreed. I thought our attention was being drawn to Dimitri. Also, lol @ "Rocket Dead" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What I want to know is why the Rogues Of The Dead are trying to break INTO Iron Heights Prison? Piper being the living vessel for the anti-life equation? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	xdoop 2009-09-19 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Piper's in Iron Heights? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	madripoor_rose 2009-09-19 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	I think so. He turned himself in to the cops after Final Crisis: Rogues' Revenge and holding Inertia down so they could kill him. And as far as I know, Piper hasn't been seen or mentioned since. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This is the first interesting thing I have seen in Blackest night. (Reply to this)

	Missed opportunity for massive laughs -- Zombie Maxwell Lord's head should've been facing the wrong way, thusly causing him to walk backwards, or constantly bump into things. Comedy fucking GOLD, people. (Reply to this)
