The Geoff Johns panel at todays San Diego Comic Con was not one to be missed. The writer/producer announced that his Mad Ghost production company will be bringing Stargirl to the DC Universe streaming service.
Whilst discussing his career and upcoming projects with DC Comics Chief Dan DiDio Johns talked about his love for the character. Stargirl was based upon Johns sister whom was killed in the TWA Flight 800 crash in 1996.
