This is the transcript of a conversation that Alan Kistler and I had today via AOL Instant Messenger:

[10:03] fanzinger: Oh, and reading your piece makes me aware of the real need for another continuity mess article.
[10:03] fanzinger: Supergirl.
[10:03] Alan Kistler: LOL
[10:03] fanzinger: You’ve got Matrix.
[10:03] fanzinger: You’ve got Kara in Argo City in Superman vs. Aliens.
[10:03] Alan Kistler: i just edited SUPERMAN VS. ALIENS out of continuity in my head
[10:03] fanzinger: You’ve got how many other new versions in the last few years.
[10:03] Alan Kistler: yeah, i hear ya
[10:04] Alan Kistler: i almost feel like my POWER GIRL article was very much a supergirl article. 😛
[10:04] Alan Kistler: maybe after I’m done with Aquaman.
[10:04] fanzinger: I always thought of Dark Horse crossovers as not continuity but then Green Lantern KILLED OFF SALAKK in a crossover!
[10:04] Alan Kistler: s#!t, that’s right
[10:04] fanzinger: I hate that.
[10:04] Alan Kistler: totally forgot
[10:05] fanzinger: LOL!
[10:05] Alan Kistler: least it wasn’t as bad as the WILDC.A.T.s / Aliens crossover where an entire team of super-heroes was murdered
[10:05] fanzinger: If I were writing Green Lantern, I’d just have him show up alive.
[10:05] fanzinger: Salakk, didn’t you die?
[10:05] fanzinger: “Die? When? During that big event that never happened?”
[10:05] Alan Kistler: hehe
[10:06] Alan Kistler: “you must have been dreaming.”
[10:06] fanzinger: Hey, if potato Green Lantern can get killed, and you even see his corpse in a coffin, and then he shows up alive in Starman, why not?
[10:07] Alan Kistler: i honestly didn’t even remember he’d been killed till much later
[10:07] fanzinger: Yeah, blasted by a Khund battlecruiser in Invasion #1.

Seven hours later, I pick up Green Lantern Corps: Recharge #1 and there he is. Salakk, alive and well.

GLC: Recharge is a great comic; highly recommended.
