[edit] Star Wars connections?

The whole section about the Star Wars/New Gods connection is nothing but speculation and fanwank. It shouldn't be on this page without proper citation. It's newsboard fantasy on par with Doctor Who fans finding connections to anything popular (exampe: When Mars Attacks premiered, a plethora of Who fans claimed that whoever wrote Mars Attacks HAD to watch Doctor Who because the martians were exterminating everyone and Rod Steiger's character shouted out "Annihilate! Kill! Kill!" which obviously referenced the Daleks). Pure fantasy and it should be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.171.48.97 (talk) 21:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Merge

It has been suggested that Tales of the New Gods be merged into this article, please discuss. --Basique 04:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and restructure. The merge from article looks like it should be part of the "Orion (comic book)" article since it is part of the publication. Inclusion here would need a section related to stories produced about the New Gods "in general". Even then it should be mentioned in the "Orion (comic book)" article, or section if that merge goes ahead, and cross linked to here. — J Greb 07:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this should go in the "Orion (comic book)" article, but not in the New Gods article. Toodiesel 23:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

• This vote was already decided on the Orion (comics) page. --Basique 17:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why no reference to Kirby's "Hunger Dogs?"

While much has been said about "Hunger Dogs" its importance, and controversy, I think it needs to be included with a mention in Volume Two (1984). The 1984 reprints were a promotional vehicle for the "Hunger Dogs" graphic novel which followed shortly after the last issue's conclusion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Donssword (talk • contribs) 21:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC).

• Comment - Great point, one that I was unaware of. I see no problem in adding it, and would think it would be a great mention. Toodiesel 23:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
