Jack Reed
"In my secret identity of John Jones, I'm an accomplished detective with the Middleton police force-- but Jack Reed set the standard there. He was as brave and skilled an officer as I've ever known. If only that had been enough to keep him safe. Jack made plenty of enemies. Vengeful mobsters murdered Jack and his wife. Their son Robby was barely two-- not old enough to realize what had happened-- only old enough to feel a great and inexplicable sense of loss. Not long after, Robby's maternal grandfather moved the boy to nearby Littleville. I can see now that I should have stayed in touch-- since i can't fathom what could have turned the boy into a-- super-hero?"

It was a bit silly but I liked that mini series
ReplyDeleteI appreciate these tiny spotlights on the players in J'onn's theatre. I think if there were a Martian Manhunter family of titles, one should be an ensemble title, y'know? J'onn could stand a GCPD all his own.
