Hm.
At least the team has some heavy hitters.
Would I prefer that they had kept their original title? Yes. However, if changing the title (and some of the settings) allows DC to keep this series going longer, and still plays nice in the new Canadian sandbox, then i'll be okay with the change.
Depends on the writing, of course, and how much (hopefully very little) editorial interference there is from the DC bigwigs (shudder!), but I am still willing to give it a shot. They are going to need to wow me with their Canadian content, however, as I am not (and rarely if ever have been) a fan of comics set in space...

This also makes it sound like perhaps the title name change has saved this comic from being more of a mini-series to something that has a planned long run.
