Comics. Well, *comic*.

All the cool kids write up their reactions after reading. I thought I'd give it a try, but, um. I don't think I quite managed. I wasn't really sure what my opinion on JSA 77 was, so I did it by bits instead.

*claims exhaustion*

 
All Star Batman and Robin - I don't have any comments on this one, because I took one look at the cover and ran away, frightened.

Now it might have been that I just kept running and never came back to the comic store at all, except that my escape route led me by the cover of JSA 77, from which Alan Scott is glaring out like somebody else’s disturbingly hot, colour-blind grandfather. Seriously, yay. If anyone ever manages to convince Alex Ross to redraw this panel for me, I will have everything I’ll ever need out of my fannish career.

There are two confusing things about the cover. The first is that Ross choose to replace the purple cape with a black one. Sure, I admit that it does take a certain man to pull off the cracked out Christmas ornament ensemble, but Alan Scott has long proven himself to be that man.

The second is that the cover tells us that it’s a Day of Vengeance tie-in in big bold letters, but if you actually manage to stop drooling over the cover and read the book, you’ll notice it’s really not.

Anyway. ( Karen goes on to mock everyone in JSA 77 who is not Alan Scott. And him, too. )

Next time, JSA: Classified, Birds of Prey and Runaways! Or not.

Probably not, I think.
