Talk:Star Brand

message: ...which of the three is the actual focus of the page? The comic box suggests it's about the New Universe title, but the rest of the article doesn't quite reflect that. When newuniversal sees print, assuming that it's successful, this is going to get even more convoluted... is there an easy way to sort it out? --Mrph 22:44, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The focus should be the the Star Brand itself. The character was important, but there have been many bearers of the Star Brand since Ken Connell. The title started things, but stories using the Star Brand continued well after it was cancelled. The object is the focal points around which the various topics of this article revolve.

thread_title: The comic book, the character(s) or the object itself?

message: I moved the following here from the article.  I don't know anything about this subject, so someone else will have to deal with it:
:This is incorrect. In the actual comic it was Jacob Burnsley who rescued Jim Hanrahan from the jet crash. In order to save Jim's life Jacob branded him with the Starbrand. This is also incorrectly stated in the bonus "history of the New Universe article" at the end of the the Exiles: Wolrd Tour Book 1 Volume 12.

thread_title:  Article problem? 

message: "Technohol 13 - A comprehensive look at the Star Brand and New Universe characters and powers for gaming purposes. I propose this Wiki bring over some material from here." - I snipped out the last sentence for obvious stylistic reasons, although I don't think the linked material is really very encyclopaedic in any case. --Grey Knight 02:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Quasar49 starbrand.jpeg

message: Is uncited.  Also, probably does not belong in this article, but rather in the one about the newuniversal Star Brand.  96.60.70.254 (talk) 17:27, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, that was a plot point from the earlier issues of the New Universe Star Brand in `86. Don't have the exact issue at hand though. It was repeated on a smaller scale which resulted in "The Pitt" replacing Pittsburgh. - J Greb (talk) 17:34, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed the heading title  to "Back story." Hopefully that will avoid this sort of confusion in the future. Stephen Day (talk) 22:36, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section on newuniversal "Before the series" 

message: (Shooter had modeled many aspects of the Connell character on himself.) 
: That tidbit should be (a) footnoted, and (b) discussed in the opening section about Shooter's original run on Star Brand rather than buried in the Legends section.  The hosts of Wait, What? episode 231 discuss Shooter basing Connell on himself and several other characters on people he knew, but in the show notes for the episode I can't find a link to the article Graeme McMillen vaguely alluded to. --Jim Henry (talk) 16:06, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
