One last Hal image for today.
This is why he gets called the Greatest of All Time. ‘Cos he really does make that ring of his look like the ultimate Deus Ex Machina every now and then, cutting straight to the root of the problem and wiping it out…
And THIS is one of the reasons I want Captain Atom back in the Justice League. When properly written, he’s pure power with versatility, and extremely capable. Of course, the whole ‘becomes evil every now and then’ thing is a bit of a problem, but I’d like to think it wasn’t his fault. That said, after all the crap he went through with JLI and JLE, would he really want to get back in? Seeing a big golden gorilla on the team when he recently turned up at the watchtower wouldn’t have helped…
Continuing with my theme of comic love, I present Wally West and Linda Park-West from JLA: Classifed # 49
The Flashes always did have good marriages…
After the ridiculousness that is Cry For Justice, this full run with his own JLA team will finally show whether James Robinson has something good to offer the League. The team looks interesting, though, and the cover by Mark Bagley looks quite good. Still can’t help wonder, after that scene from Action Comics, if Black Canary will actually be in the team or if she just happened to be hanging around on that particular day. Hope she is, though…
9 out of 10 gorilla doctors recommend that you try not to eat Geo-Force as it can be severely injurious to your health.
“Flash is back! Worlds will die!”
Thom Kallor is another guy who really deserves to have his own series, pronto.
It’s Don’t mess with Black Canary day, everyone!
One of my favourite JLA moments from Meltzer’s brief run. Dinah, Roy and Hal up against an army of Red Tornado body clones, with great strength and lots of powers, and extremely dangerous. She picked up one of Roy’s arrow heads, leapt onto one of the Tornadoes and punctured it full of holes from head to toe in an effort to find the weak spot. And she did this faster than Hal’s ring could scan the Tornado body for the weak point. BADASS.
Also, Ed Benes, for once, did not focus on the breasts and ass (well, not as much as he generally does), and the intensity on her face came out perfect.
Black Canary making Giganta feel some serious pain BEFORE unleashing a canary cry to knock her out. This was right after she took out Shadow Thief and Dr Light.
Batsy got OWNED.
And that’s one reason why Black Canary was elected chair of the JLA, ‘cos she won’t let Bruce push her around or play mindgames with her.
