08:22 am [thebigapricot] [Link]	Huntress is Awesome Week: Huntress Joins the JLA Someone posted a line here once about Huntress that cracked me up (please claim it if it's yours) "She's so crazy, she's Batman's Batman." Crazy Huntress is an image that's she had (and at times deserved) and still has for those not overly familiar with the character. (i.e. BFTC "The Network") Here's a look at a time in the early part of Helena's career showing just how awesome, competent and uncrazy she could be. From the September 1999 issue of Justice League of America are 7 pages telling how she joined the JLA. ( Some has stolen Barda's Megarod and Helena's on the case ) Tags: char: fire/beatriz da costa, char: huntress/helena bertinelli, char: maxwell lord, creator: j.m. dematteis, creator: keith giffen, series: huntress is awesome week, title: justice league of america (23 comments \| Leave a comment)

10:47 pm [dr_hermes] [Link]	Just how strong IS Green Arrow anyway? Just a few panels from JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA# 5, with the usual Gardner Fox appproach of giving kids exciting, colorful epics that regard the laws of physics as mere suggestions. Okay then. Green Arrow climbs out of his jet in mid-air (leaving it on auto-pilot, I suppose). Standing on the wing and not getting blown off by the 600 mph winds, he whips three fishing-hook arrows out of his quiver and fires them in close succession. Not only does he manage to snap his teammates who are falling from another plane (and look how far away they are in that first panel), he then grabs the fishing lines and lowers all three of them to the ground. He's reeling down roughly six hundred pounds of dead weight from a jet to the ground. Damn. If he can do things like that, he doesn't need a bow and arrows to fight crime.I loved Fox's stories for their imagination and outlandishness, but honestly, the guy went overboard as soon as he put paper in his typewriter... char: green arrow, era: silver age, creator: gardner fox Tags: char: aquaman/orin/arthur curry, char: green arrow/oliver queen, char: green lantern/hal jordan, era: silver age, publisher: dc comics, title: justice league of america (18 comments \| Leave a comment)

08:25 pm [bluefall] [Link]	Apparently Wein got the memo McDuffie having gotten booted off JLA for telling it like it is, DC passed the baton to Robinson, but he was still too busy with CRY ~~THAT THE WRITING'S SO BAD~~ FOR JUSTICE to jump on right away, I guess, because they've got Len Wein doing a filler arc about the Royal Flush Gang. Which I'm actually rather liking, for reasons which are probably fairly obvious under the cut. ( It also helps that the cover is badass. ) Tags: char: vixen/mari jiwe mccabe, char: wonder woman/diana of themyscira, creator: len wein, creator: tom derenick, title: justice league of america (68 comments \| Leave a comment)

09:06 pm [ashtoreth] [Link]	The JLA discusses secret identities versus love This is an oldie that keeps coming to mind when I see Batman discussed. Ray Palmer, the Atom, wants to marry his girlfriend, Jean, but he's concerned about whether the revelation would cause her another breakdown (she's had two already). He asks his friends for advice. Continuity: They've just defeated 5 old gods who melded together. Earth 1 and 2 are separate. Black Canary is from Earth 2, having migrated when her civilian husband was killed. Red Tornado has taken in a child. Hal Jordan has been dating Carol forever. Barry Allen tried to keep his identity secret, but Iris found out anyway. The Phantom Stranger is making his exit (for once, without someone saying, "OMG WHERE DID HE GO?"). 2 pages from Justice League version 1, issue 156 ( Read more... ) Tags: char: aquaman/orin/arthur curry, char: atom/ray palmer, char: batman/bruce wayne, char: black canary/dinah lance, char: elongated man/ralph dibny, char: flash/barry allen, char: green lantern/hal jordan, char: red tornado/ulthoon/john smith, char: superman/clark kent, creator: gerry conway, publisher: dc comics, title: justice league of america (28 comments \| Leave a comment)

01:18 am [bluefall] [Link]	The Many Faces of Barbara Minerva, part 7 (Leopard Print Pants) Well, here we are, after admittedly quite a hiatus, with the final repost of my Cheetah series. This overlaps the prior Pfeifer chapter a lot in terms of publish dates, and actually all falls before the Salvation Run stuff as far as the in-universe timeline goes, but chronologically and thematically it's more recent, it's essentially consistent with the most recent Cheetah, and being the take in JLA, it's probably the one that's going to stick with the average fan for a good while regardless of anything Gail might yet do in the Wondy title, so "current" it remains. Which is depressing, but more in a mildly melancholy way than the frustrating VU stuff or the outright stupid Pfeifer Cheetah. Because while this Cheetah is still clearly of that same ilk, she's at least got some nuance to her beyond the mindless cardboard sociopath, and a bit of a suggestion of what she once was. ( JLA, Heinberg, That Wedding, and where poor abused Dr. Minerva is now. ) I have no further chapters to promo the way I usually do after the cut, but dedicated Cheetah fans, if there are any left after this tremendous fall from grace, may be interested in checking out the current Grand Unified Theory of Cheetahs, which achieves the extraordinary by reconciling all seven chapters of this series into a single coherent character arc by dint of massive unsupportable fanwank.

02:43 pm [perletwo] [Link]	Mr. Miracle's funeral, Justice League America #40 I had a request in an earlier JLI post I did for a page of Superman and Batman talking after Mr. Miracle's funeral. Naturally, I can't just do the one page, because the whole funeral is so awesome. Six pages of a 22-page comic, plus preview (plus a few non-comic images), not my scans. So yeah, starts out with big fight with Despero, which J'onn ends... ( but at what price? ) BTW, this seems as good a post as any to throw this out there. It didn't strike me back in the 80s because I hadn't seen the movie, but now that I've got both the first JLI trade and the Omen series box set, I'm wondering if deMatteis modeled his Max Lord on Sam Neill as the adult Damien Thorn? Check it out: ( down here ) What say you, s_d? Do we have a match?
