DISGRACE

If you're one of those who thinks that the JLA's series has been of weak standing in the past few years, it's not going to get much better with the following news:

Brad Meltzer returns to DC with JLA relaunch.

And I'm not saying that because I think the comic book answer to Al Franken, overrated as he is, could do the same with the League that he did in Identity Crisis. No, I'm saying that because, after that monstrosity, it's impossible for me to pick up a book with his name on it.

I'm sorry, but anyone who writes something as lugubrious as IC is not someone whose work I can pick up at ease, if at all. Sure, I wouldn't be surprised if he were far more respectable of the characters in what he writes (for a year? Too long, I'm afraid). But that still doesn't wash away the damage of yore, and so, I'll pass.

Thank goodness Paul Levitz will be the writer on JSA (and during the Bronze Age, he wrote plenty of Earth-2 adventures for them as well).

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
