	Dave's Long Box: Thanagar rules. Rann? Not so much.
		Rann is ancient Athens at its most fickle and capricious, whereas Thanagar is ancient Sparta, a stratified warrior culture that values martial prowess and victory - and we all know how the Peloponnesian War turned out, don't we?*
		Thanagar is just an orderly society ruled by an unaccountable elite where any dissident thought or violations of the law is dealt with severely by a repressive secret police force.
		Thanagar is a society that values order at all costs, enforced by their jack-booted winged secret police.

	Rann-Thanagar War # 3
		War has broken out between Adam Strange's adopted planet of Rann and Hawkwoman's home planet of Thanagar and various alien races are trying to take advantage of the hostilities as various space-based DC characters try to get to the bottom of the conflict.
		Although the morality of the war may be questionable, the valour of the protagonists is never questioned.
		It has a cast of thousands and spans whole galaxies but this mini-series of a galactic war is becoming more coherent while remaining exciting and surprising.

	Paperback Reader : Review of Rann-Thanagar War 2
		Its population was forced to take refuge on Rann, where Thanagarian worshipers of the Seven Devils have exploited the situation and provoked the war that is now spilling out beyond all expectations.
		Of course, in the Rann-Thanagar War Gibbons is not writing about our former Cold War; but I could not help but be reminded of it, while reading a similar scenario being played out on a galactic scale.
		Rann and Thanagar have been odds for a very long time, during which they have made friends, allies, and enemies with the many worlds around them.

	Comics Ate My Brain: All Together Now: Rann-Thanagar War #s 1-5
		At long last, I'm down to Rann-Thanagar War (written by Dave Gibbons, pencilled by Ivan Reis and others, inked by Marc Campos and others).
		Thankfully, RTW seems to be the most straightforward of the lead-ins, overlaying interplanetary war with the resurrection of an evil Thanagarian cult leader whose followers instigated the fighting.
		Strange and his armies from Rann evacuated many of Thanagar's people to Rann, but the two planets were never chummy to begin with and fighting began almost immediately.

		The Omega Beam transported Rann back into normal space, but into the Polaris System — home of Thanagar.
		Rann was a dying planet and its gene pool needed new blood.
		Ro was at war with Hyathis of Alstair, Kromm of Mosteel, and Sayvar of Llarr.

	741.5 Comics
		Here the mounting distrust between Rann and Thanagar is established entirely through exposition, and the actions and beliefs of a dangerous cult are merely hinted at.
		There's also little explanation as to what Rann and Thanagar are - there are enough hints that I can follow what's going on, but someone who hasn't been following DC Comics for years will be totally lost.
		In order to convey the grand size of the upcoming war, Ivan Reis packs the panels with dozens of spaceships, viewscreens, and refugees.

	Brill Building: Rann wins
		Because of the site people are declaring their allegiance to either Thanagar or Rann in what I'm sure is more fun than actually reading that Rann/Thanagar War comic.
		Rann was drawn by Carmine Infantino, the best artist ‘60s DC had that wasn’t Gil Kane, and has punch-drunk clouds living in the skies.
		When I saw Thanagar winning amongst the blogosphere I knew that I must stand up and support what I call "the one made up of Carmine Infantino artwork."

	The Comic Treadmill: May 2005 Archives
		The whole war (including the need to distract attention away from his Barbie addiction by creating a so-called weapon of mass destruction) is a trick by Adam Strange to divert public attention away from a scandal arising from his immoral activity.
		Rumor has it that he was scheduled for an on-panel appearance, but Rann sympathizers put the pressure on to downplay his role in a bid to keep people from being reminded of the menace to national security Rann created.
		The setting did change from that of a Revolutionary War era group of do-gooders to that of a western, but by 1972, neither concept was flying in the market and issue 140 was the final one.

	TheFourthRail.com - Critiques on Infinite Earths
		Thanagar, the world to which the Hawks have technological and spiritual connections, has been destroyed, and its populace has relocated on the planet Rann, Strange's adopted home.
		The gritty quality of their collaboration suits the war elements of the book nicely, as well as the raw, primitive side of Hawkman.
		I'm also pleased to see that there's a lot more to the brewing war than a conflict between the peoples of two worlds.

	TheFourthRail.com - Snap Judgments
		Rann-Thanagar War is the follow-up to that story, and it has some of the same adventurous fun, and equally great art thanks to Reis and Campos, but Gibbons's plot is a little too convoluted, and his handle on some of the main heroes seems shaky, based on past continuity rather than current.
		So far, it almost feels like Rann-Thanagar War is trying to be too much, not just a team-up story between some of DC's space-based heroes but a reshuffling of the entire alien and space subset of the DC Universe.
		Given the tenuous connection that Carter Hall has to Thanagar, and the almost non-existent one that Kendra has, it seems strange that Adam expects them to be personally and deeply affected by these events.

	The Shrew Review: ADAM STRANGE #8
		Some of us were interested at the first mention of Rann and Thanagar having it out, but we're in the most spare minority and tend toward the Hawk fetishists.
		Diggle and Ferry accomplished what had to be their primary goal, which was getting the more casual fan to care about Rann in general and Adam Strange and his family in particular.
		The post-fight action was true to its pulp roots, right down to Adam's inability to hit a dame and Alanna's lack of such qualms after "her man" got dissed.

	Rann/Thanagar War #6 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Throughout Rann/Thanagar War, the thought dominating my mind has been, “Somebody needs to tell Dave Gibbons that Kyle Rayner is from Earth!" The Green Lantern, long derided by DC traditionalists for being too “hip,” has in this series been known to utter “Great Guardians!” and other grievous inanities.
		As Adam Strange, Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Captain Comet, and Tigorr take the fight to Synn, Rannian elder Sardath endeavors to forge a peaceful conclusion to the war with Thanagar.
		At the end of Rann/Than, the two planets are still at war, Hawkwoman is dead, the Green Lanterns fix gravity, and a hole opens in the sky.

	NEWSARAMA - DAVE GIBBONS ON THE RANN/THANGAR WAR
		Thanagar, a planet of warriors and ancient tradition, acutely feels the loss of its previous empires and supremacy in the galaxy.
		In regards of the larger picture, Gibbons said that the seeds of the conflict between Adam Strange’s adopted homeworld of Rann and the world of the Hawkmen, Thanagar were sewn long ago, and the recent flare up in the Adam Strange miniseries was just the most recent skirmish in a decades-long antagonism.
		This interplanetary war provides the way to bring several of their science fiction characters to the fore and explore their relationships and loyalties.

		Her intent was to teleport Rann into the Polaris system, home of Thanagar, thus triggering a war between the two worlds.
		All that said, The Rann-Thanagar War is a rip-roaring space drama -- one aided by Ivan Reis's pencils and Marc Campos's inks.
		Rann's allies include the Dominion, Okaara, Throneworld, and Culu -- whose holdings are to be divided among Thanagar's allies, which include the Psions, that Tamaraneans, the shape-changing Durlans, and the Citadel.

	RANN-THANAGAR WAR #2 REVIEW - comiXtreme
		Review:The war between Thanagar and Rann is growing larger, bringing powers from other worlds into it, each with their own personal agendas.
		If it’s from the exploration by Kyle Rayner to these cool planets to the various sects that are at war with each other, he doesn’t miss a beat, and that has to be one of the most threatening versions of Blackfire I have ever seen.
		Hawkman is currently fighting a huge war in space, fighting a slightly smaller war in Khandaq, and dealing with the Batman-mindwipe fallout.

	Bags and Boards: Countdown Continues
		Rounding out this first wave is Rann-Thanagar War, which does a slightly better job of setting up its premise for the reader.
		This is a common problem that pops up whenever comics start to lean heavily on continuity, as writers, editors and artists often end up having so much plot to fit into specific issues that simple things such as introductions that help bring readers in become the first things to be cut for space.
		This should be a fun action series, featuring a cool cast that includes Hawkman, Adam Strange and Green Lantern Kyle Rayner.

	Byrne Robotics: CountDown to Infinite Crisis <SPOILERS>
		I think Rann-Thanagar War features every space-based character and/or race in the DCU, including the GL Corps, Darkstars, LEGION, Dominators, Khunds, Daxamites, etc. I'm pretty sure Kyle is the "lead" GL on this but Hal may be involved too...
		I had reluctantly decided to get the Rann/ Thanagar War and after reading Countdown, I'm going to go ahead and get Day of Judgement.
		The GL on the cover of The Rann-Thanager War is Kyle.

		As the first issue of Rann-Thanagar War explains, the people of Rann aided in the evacuation of Thanagar, but the two rival races are now forced to cohabitate on the same planet.
		Of all the "Countdown" mini-series, the Rann-Thanagar War is easily the most adventurous, the biggest in scale, and the most exciting.
		His life is a bit shaken up, though, when a pair of interstellar assassins alert him to Rann's disappearance before its sun went supernova.

		Nth metal is a metal found on Thanagar that has anti-gravity properties, can absorb some energy (I know it's somehow able to absorb magic energy), and increases the wearer's physical attributes to some unspecified degree.
		Adam teleports the three of them directly from the air in St. Roch to the air above Rann.
		He wears an Nth metal harness to fly and a few of his weapons are composed of Nth metal too (most notably his mace).

	The Superhero Hype! Boards - Rann/Thanagar War
		Day of Vengeance sounds really interesting, Project: OMAC looks really interesting from the covers I've seen, Rann/Thanagar War looks like it'll be downright epic, and the villain mini is automatically a good concept.
		The fact that his first action after Rebirth is participation in an intergalactic war also leads me to believe that he could be leading or at least a member of the new Corps, which would be fantastic in my opinion.
		Carter Hall is supposed to be the savior of Thanagar but he hasn't been there in a while.
