And the weird thing is, a lot of this was prior to Barry Allen "dying" and leaving behind his costume in <i>Crisis on Infinite Earths</i>.<br /><br />And if anyone should have his costume hanging around without him inside it during the 60's it would've been Hal Jordan...LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-20787802507402398292010-07-21T23:55:12.853-05:002010-07-21T23:55:12.853-05:00Tom, going from dim memory:
Avoid Wonder Woman. I...Tom, going from dim memory:<br /><br />Avoid Wonder Woman. I recall it being lame. I don't believe Superman was any good, either. Batman was okay, maybe? I think Green Lantern was alright. I didn't read Aquaman, but I believe Ostrander did it, and I think the message boards received it well. No memory of the Flash at all. You may be best served stinking with what you got. Len Kaminski was underrated, and I once championed him for <i>Martian Manhunter</i> replacement writer, along with John Arcudi.<br /><br />Liss-- you're right.

And 1992 puts it in the perfect timeframe for stealing from TaleSpin. I love me some bad puns, though..."Gorilla Warfare." Ha!<br /><br />I like #9...he looks really creepy there. What is this preoccupation with Flash's empty uniform? It shows up on like every third Flash cover.<br /><br />#1...I think the bunch of bananaes hanging off the "L" really make that cover. That's just golden.<br /><br />Nice to see the King Kong influences here, which really can't be avoided.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-9717900509462300522010-07-21T18:11:28.310-05:002010-07-21T18:11:28.310-05:00I have the first and last chapters of JLApe, the J...I have the first and last chapters of JLApe, the JLA and Martian Manhunter Annuals, and I really enjoyed them. I think these were the only two written by Len Kaminski. Since the others have different writers I assume they vary in quality. Which of the others are good, and which ones should I avoid?Tom Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279973364279144136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-25863967836915281782010-07-21T16:18:46.477-05:002010-07-21T16:18:46.477-05:00P.S.
