The "Next" CRISIS?

Just finished the latest Secret Origins (#2, with the Blue Beetle),
and was reading the text page--quite a convoluted publishing history
BB's had, by the way--when I came across mention of an upcoming
maxi-series: CRISIS on CAPTIVE EARTH.  Anyone hear anything about
this?  Comic Buyers' Guide or something?

By the way, the origin story of Blue Beetle was just so-so.  I wasn't
too enchanted with Len Wein's script here, although he was likely
constrained by the existing plot (Hokey, at best).  Still, the dialogue
was no great shakes, but I *will* try a few issues of the new BB title 
before making a final decision.  The art by Gil Kane was...well...Gil Kane.  
Kane will not be doing the regular mag, though; I believe it will be Chuck 
Patton--I'm not positive.  The character does show some promise, and I 
look forward to his "debut", hoping Wein will vindicate his performance here.

But "Crisis on Captive Earth"?...

Oh, and as a side note, I like the hypothesis put forth about Sensor Girl
being Satan Girl.  Now all they have to do is explain how she recovered
her Gold Kryptonite-stolen powers (I'm sure Supes would like to know, too,
although I imagine Byrne will do away with the concept anyway) or how she
aquired similar ones.  Would this mean Saturn Girl (gotta start watching
my spelling here--Saturn, Satan, Sensor...) has been "rehabilitating" her
in private?  Or did Satan Girl repent at the end of her appearance--I forget.
Anyway, an original idea.
