Agreed, after being stationed in space how can the league possibly go back?
I haven't read the issue yet, but I've heard they now have TWO headquarters. The Hall in D.C. with a teleporter to the new satellite in space.
True or false?

They walk through a door and they're on the satellite.

Easy mistake, at this point.
The next storyline involves a deranged powered-up Geo-Force. No doubt exploring the Outsiders legacy of Batman and Black Lightning (and to a lesser extent Arsenal). Its rare a hero turns bad, so we'll see what happens.

I considered registering at Bryne's site... I read quite a few threads there... even the gay one ... but there are too many rules, and I am spoiled from posting here where there is no atmosphere of repression...
Basically, John Byrne's site smelled of burned meat and oppression.

Johns's board is full of brown nosers and the mentally deficient. I tried to play nice there, but I gave up when one of the mods gave me shit for pointing out that they had filtered out the word 'friggin' while there was a thread with the word 'bastard' in the title. I think it's the fans that pushed Johns over to complete fanwank, since he started writing the stuff that they asked for on his boards. And they ask for some pretty retarded shit.

John Byrne was never a fave artist to me; in fact, his art is not very good at all. When he drew the FF, he almost always made Franklin Richards look like a little person, or a midget. He can't draw children.
His male figures all look alike. So do his female figures.
And his boards suck. Most people there have their noses so far up Byrne's ass, it's a miracle that they can still breathe.
Cue the John Byrne alt... heh.

These days, if he's doing the art alone, his characters look anorexic also.

that's 100% correct. I used to be a fan of his when he first started on Flash, and I noticed that as time went on he started pandering, his books started including nods to fans, fan-requested character returns, and in general it turned from a guy who wrote his stories to match what he wanted to a guy who wrote to get praise.
And he also writes to please Wizard in a way I have never seen before. going so far as to name Miss Martian after a Wizard writer's girlfriend. Now it's all about getting praise and it's disgusting.

the problem is spreading too. now they write to cater to fans. A good writer will look at what the fans are saying to help them make course corrections, but comic writers (the bad ones) write to be loved and they don't care if they actually produce good stories so long as the message boards are filled with praise. What they don't take into account is that people who post on the DCMB are mostly idiots who just want to see their favorite characters looking cool.

I know nothing of either theory, but its seem perfectly plausible that she could have been both DiDio's secretary AND the staffer's girlfriend.

It's the writer's girlfriend. Even if it wasn't, is it less of a kiss ass move to name her after your bosses secretary than a magazine writer's girlfriend?

Interesting, the only thing about the character I'd seen was that she was J'ann J'onzz, which Didio's assistant is named Jan Jones, so she's named after TWO people. . .

I just realized that the problem with Roy Harper being in the team is that every time he goes into battle dressed as Red Arrow, half the League will break down and cry. "They grow up so fast!"

Also, ten bucks says next issue begins with the team fighting some long unseen villain (possibly in some faraway corner of the DCU), only for the whole sequence to be part of a training session in the exciting DANGERous ROOM.
