It's a bird! Keen observers of DC Comics' "Justice League of America" ("JLA" for short) may have noticed a recent nod, not to Sailor Moon, but to Sailor Mars. In the March 1999, #27 Issue of the comic book, Clark Kent (Superman) introduces Hino Rei to Bruce Wayne (Batman). "Hino Rei" is "Rei Hino" backwards--which is Sailor Mars' name in "Sailormoon."
Not convinced that this is a valid Sighting? There's more! In this "JLA" story, Hino Rei is actually an alien, by the name of J'onn, who has the ability to take on any human form and gender. J'onn has taken on this disguise and name. This alien also happens to be from the planet Mars and whose alter-ego is known as "The Martian Manhunter"!
We can only hope that "JLA" writer Mark Millar is able to sneak more of this past his editor, Dan Raspler. (Or perhaps they're both "in" on this?) Special thanks to "The Lunar Archivist" who made the initial Sighting and to Michael Stancel for supplying the scans and providing additional information. |
