The JLA is often thought of as a seven member team, which is sizable enough, but the line-up has been known to balloon up twice that or spill over into multiple concurrent incarnations (see: February, 2013.) Blog crossovers often explode in similar fashion, as with Halloween Heroes, so expansive that even I as a participant never read the whole thing. Like this "JLA" piece teaming the uncommon trio of Superman, Green Lantern Hal Jordan and the Coneheadhunter, I thought it would be nice to keep it tight and have a simple pin-up get together with my blog buddies Anj and Shag. This being December of Despero though, if you jump around, you'll find the Kalanorian has broken free of the Idol-Head and attacked elsewhere...
Hand to God, I couldn't see the Martian Manhunter in the original black & white art, even while admiring that Lee Bermejo-influenced Man of Steel. The image is just too dense with detail, so I'm glad Joshua Flower got his own pal Jon Hughes to color the piece and sort things out. Hughes was at Comicpalooza this year, and one very good reason to be his friend is that he's got a smoking hot cosplaying booth girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to a young Rose McGowan (see: here, Shag.)
Finally, the holidays saw me neglect another classic team up with m'boy Luke, weekly The Atom & Hawkman Family posts at our devoted blogs, so we've snuck that into the mix as well. Reunited and it feeels so gooood...

The art work is great, even with one of J'Onn's worst looks.
