    The JLA, Down, But Not Out

    Why can't the League remain this small group of heroes? Is it necessary to have Superman and Wonder Woman type characters in a group to make it great? The answer, "No." I'm loving seeing Red Tornado, Plastic Man, Vixen, Zatanna, Gyspy, and Dr. Light put to the test against the undead even as they remain in such a disheveled and battered state. Zatanna and Dr. Light are most definitely forced to face their fears as they battle their reanimated predecessors who possess equal powers to their own. In particular the Zatanna versus Zatara  battle seemed like it could go either way as one opponent would immediately cancel out the spell or hex of the other. I'm very excited to see how my current favorite Leaguer, Dr. Light, handles battling her evil counterpart who appears in a deliciously evil scene drawn with frightening creepiness by Bagley and Hunter. This has been a great start by the Justice League of America's new creative team! Bravo!

So all I want is that it not screw up things too badly, and maybe provide a little zombie thrill or two. The formula, in the books I've c...

      JLA 39 - Detroit fans only! 0

      JLA DETROIT that is.   Another of the Blackest night tie ins, JLA #39 is a blast from the past... if your past involved being a hardcore fan of the so-so adventures of JLAD.  I say hardcore because all of the Detroit members who everyone loved (Guy Gardener, Martian Manhunter, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Elongated Man, and Aquaman) fail to make more than a one page flashback cameo if that. Luckily, this issue isn't solely about the revival of Vibe (yeah. its ok. Don't worry about it). There is a ...
