But I can see how it was necessary in a way.<br /><br />I just wish Erdel had stayed dead. There could've been other ways to remember his past without the need for going back to Erdel. Or maybe he never forgot his past at all but wasn't willing to tell other Leaguers about his true past/show natural Martian form until now for whatver reason. There's a dozen ways around that problem.<br /><br />But the quality of the writing was very good.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-40846315559689087612010-08-19T06:30:31.950-05:002010-08-19T06:30:31.950-05:00Liss, I'm debating on a couple more moments fr...Liss, I'm debating on a couple more moments from that story. As for JLTF, it got good a little over a year in, but it was in no way a solo title. Martian Manhunter and Gypsy may have been the two constants throughout the series, but they always had to share with guest stars in the first year, and fellow teammates in 2-3.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-19382763674074756612010-08-19T03:00:14.805-05:002010-08-19T03:00:14.805-05:00Was JLTF not so good, btw?Was JLTF not so good, btw?LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-29458319082571391382010-08-19T02:58:54.464-05:002010-08-19T02:58:54.464-05:00This was a great moment and deserves to be in the ...This was a great moment and deserves to be in the DC 75 Countdown. Not only that, but Despero's choice of cape is quite the moment as well.<br /><br />Plus this really showed the dramatic range of Giffen and DeMatteis.<br /><br />I'd take a DeMatteis solo run on J'onn, too. Anybody who dedicates a book to Ray Bradbury should be given a Matian Manhunter series in a New York minute.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-64103782091029449212010-08-19T00:11:09.304-05:002010-08-19T00:11:09.304-05:00Sebastian, God willing, I'll devote the time t...Sebastian, God willing, I'll devote the time to create "September of Saturn" and get to Malefic's earliest appearances. October will be turned over to the Vile Menagerie as well, which will include Malefic. "December of Despero" will return. If I have time this weekend, I'll offer the latest "Most Important Villain" entry. I start school next week, and that takes precedence over all else. Finally, there will be Malefic appearances here both Friday and Saturday, so stay tuned.<br /><br />M.C., what you said. All that. Gimme. Think we could have gotten Bart Sears?<br /><br />Curiously enough, I wrote about the Jurgens J.L.A. earlier today, and it just got published at DC Bloodlines before I checked your comment.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-59401530901808172612010-08-18T23:51:41.067-05:002010-08-18T23:51:41.067-05:00Love that stuff...Why couldn't Dematteis and G...Love that stuff...Why couldn't Dematteis and Giffen have just immediately started in on a Martian Manhunter ongoing with Gypsy as a side kick and this sort of thing all the time.
