Instead, that book imploded and ultimately left the DC Universe a lesser place, to such a degree that other writers justifiably ignored and overrode it. Libra represents J'Onn getting thrown under the bus, and I resent the hell out of him for it.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-89037857208951036132012-07-28T01:37:33.667-05:002012-07-28T01:37:33.667-05:00DC couldn't have even thrown us a bone and let...DC couldn't have even thrown us a bone and let Malefic kill J'onn to give some sort of personal dynamic to it.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-20849318422158442512012-07-22T13:04:14.212-05:002012-07-22T13:04:14.212-05:00I think that Libra is indeed a JLA villain who was...I think that Libra is indeed a JLA villain who was just used as part of a lousy series in a move that made little sense. Heck, I think that if the villains started violating the rules of engagement, a lot of heroes would say fine, it's war.<br /><br />Libra would need a new appearance or two to establish him as a villain for J'Onn and not a minor foe of the JLA. However, I would not mind seeing J'Onn beating the pulp out of him (or someone drawing him doing that to some of DC's "creative" staff.)will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-49934791004027147592012-07-22T11:40:47.577-05:002012-07-22T11:40:47.577-05:00His role in FC: Requiem initially made me think it...His role in FC: Requiem initially made me think it worked, but you've made an excellent case; Libra is a JLA villain, not a J'onn J'onzz rogue. It would take a seriously involved solo story to change that.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.com
