It may seem silly, but back then you couldn't even say the word Hawkman and it was nice to have Morrison keep the faint glimmer of memory alive.Shon Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17575804400275943927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1133498528576277272005-12-01T20:42:00.000-08:002005-12-01T20:42:00.000-08:00wow...

Grant Morrison: the Morrison JLA.<BR/><BR/>It is one of the top 10 runs of any writer on any comic.<BR/><BR/>If you disagree, well, you're wrong, but that's OK.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Devon, for making me leave work early to go home and reread this issue.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01346148754086281062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1133468234374127832005-12-01T12:17:00.000-08:002005-12-01T12:17:00.000-08:00Comics are great, aren't they?Comics are great, aren't they?Devon Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223057696498728357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1133467365051255942005-12-01T12:02:00.000-08:002005-12-01T12:02:00.000-08:00I swear, that's one of the all-time great hero mom...I swear, that's one of the all-time great hero moments. Superman facing down an ANGEL of the LORD, one of the mightiest of the host of heaven. It's absolutely balls-to-the-wall nutty. Asmodel is described as having heartbeats like a thousand Hiroshimas, blood thousands of times more pure than our strongest acids. He is divine vengeance and power incarnate.<BR/><BR/>And SUPERMAN faces him down.<BR/><BR/>"Yield!"<BR/><BR/>"NEVER!"<BR/><BR/>Only Flash takes a moment to notice just how freaking INSANE that is, in all the best ways.<BR/><BR/>For the record, this is a few minutes after Superman PULLED THE MOON BACK INTO ORBIT like it wasn't no thang. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and Wonder Woman beats up a chariot of heaven.<BR/><BR/>Say what you will about Morrison, the man knows from epic. That, and he writes a totally badass (non-asshole!) Batman. Need I remind anyone of the hung Hyperclan member with the note taped to his chest: "I know your secret."<BR/><BR/>How can you NOT love the JL? And I haven't even gotten STARTED on the end of last season's JLU. <BR/><BR/>The Flash steps it up. Man, I'm getting jittery just thinking about it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245489666250405989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1133466672078470782005-12-01T11:51:00.000-08:002005-12-01T11:51:00.000-08:00I got chills reading your summary of one of the be...I got chills reading your summary of one of the better JLA arc from those lost days.Jason Langloishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507550527211520786noreply@blogger.com
