You didn't listen..

Come live with us amongst the has-beens and the addicts.
Could someone please tell me how I should feel about this?
Keep in mind this is the show that's meant to take the place of Justice League Unlimited, The Batman, AND Legion of Super Heroes.
That's a tall order.
Sure JLU has been gone for a bit, but we just lost The Batman, and the LoSH series finale is this weekend. Legion should have been moved to Cartoon Network in addition to this new show. I really think it would have found a bigger audience there than it was able to on Kids WB.
And why on Earth would they go back to Ollie's old "Christmas costume"?
Don't get me wrong, looking over the show's credits, it all seems to be people I think are very talented.
I don't know.
I hope it's awesome.

She'll see I'm not so tough..

It's time for yet another new feature.

My Favorite Comics Ever.


JLA #84-89 (collected as JLA Vol. 14 “Trial By Fire”)
Joe Kelly writes a perfect Batman, shows just how powerful a player Martian Manhunter is in the DCU, and comes up with multiple Grant Morrison-sized/OMG/character defining moments for pretty much every member of the Justice League.

Doug Mahnke’s art is absolutely incredible. I mean, there’s no other way to say it. There are totally scan-worthy panels on pretty much every page of every issue.
The guy is just an amazing artist capable of making Superman look “super” whether he’s sitting in a lawnchair at J’onn’s backyard BBQ or racing across the planet to chase down the last of several hundred nuclear missiles the JLA must stop.
Even more importantly perhaps is the fact that he makes characters like The Atom and Major Disaster look every bit as epic and impressive as Superman and Batman. (And Joe Kelly does his part to make them seem just as important and integral to the story as “The Big Guys”.)

Oh, and did I mention that the only person who can save the JLA and the Earth itself is Plastic Man?
Yeah, it’s pretty awesome.


I don’t know that it’s the best Justice League story, but it’s definitely top notch on every level. I can't say that it's my favorite JLA story of all time, but it's certainly my favorite JLA story at the moment and one of my favorite comics ever.

We stand on the edge..


So there's a trailer.
The official Justice League : The New Frontier site is pretty snazzy as well.
Or head over to CBR and enjoy this interview with Darwyn.
If you're curious, yes, I've already seen it and yes, I do have thoughts.
I'm not sure if I want to save them until after the official release or not though.
