Strange tales: Comic Book Resources chats with Andy Diggle about his new Adam Strange miniseries:

"Of course, continuity is almost always self-contradictory and never seems to make much sense when you look at it too closely anyway, and I've found that even the most rabid continuity freaks can be a bit selective about what they consider 'canon'. Any bit of continuity they don't like -- such as the fact that Sardath found a way to make the Zeta-Beam effect permanent -- they sometimes prefer to ignore. Fortunately that's not a huge problem with Adam Strange, because he doesn't come with too much backstory baggage -- everything new readers need to know is explained in the first few pages of our first issue. It should please the old-school traditionalists and new readers alike. We'll see!"
