So they're bringing back the Green Team, eh? What a monumentally stupid idea. All you need to know about the Green Team is summed up on this page, from Ambush Bug #3 (August 1985) by Keith Giffen, Robert Loren Fleming, and Bob Oksner. I don't think "ether" was used as a verb until after 2001, but it's fairly appropriate here as well. (The Green Team also show up in 2008's Ambush Bug: Year None, but it's not as funny.)

You should be thrilled DC is publishing politically-themed comics. It should provide plenty of fodder for your column/podcast.
There is some truth to that, but I don't anticipate even the most well-intentioned exploration of political themes in these books to inspire any discourse above that of an anguished wail and the rending of garments.
Apparently, this is being done by the Balhazar/Franco team, responsible for Superman Family Adventures and the little Teen Titans comic, both of which were pretty fun. I'm guessing this will be an all-ages comic, and there's likely going to be a fair amount of wackiness.
I don't know . . . the promo art and the way they're promoting it make it seem like it'll be grimmer & grittier than a bunch of dipshit kids sitting around and swimming in their money. I see shadowy clandestine organizations and Machiavellian powers struggles ahoy.
If it is, it is. Personally, while I think the execution is brutal, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Green Team, and I have my own ideas as to how things should go. If the kiddie version doesn't work, I have ideas for them as adults as well.
