Shut it, Val! mad

Wait a minute, more useless than Speedy, Hawkgirl, and Black Lightning? What the f**k? no

Lucid Lui
BOOOOO... I wanted Tempest on the lineup. Ah well, Red Tornado is enough i guess.

And wow. Turner's art looks bad in places.

Juntai
Cant believe they got that girl from the detroit league in there.
that team was so dumb save Jonn and Arthur.

Validus
In all seriousness, I think that's a cool lineup. I'm guessing Black Lightning is Meltzer's fanboy pick (every writer has one) but that's still a nice addition. Plus, Roy instead of Ollie. thumb up

NoFate007
I don't care about what's going on, they should have a Flash lol.

Juntai
I like Roy a lot.
Ollie is tight too though.

You might have something with Hawkgirl but Arsenal does have many plot device arrows and weapons. Probably more than Bruce.

Out of nowhere isn't it? Hawkgirl and Vixen are clear JLU tie ins. I wonder how they explain this one in the book.

Also, John Stewart got owned.

Juntai
They've had Vixen in JLA Classified as they recall the Detroit team and some of their stories.
And now shes in the JSA Classified as well.
Now coming on the main team lineup.

Yeah, it is out of nowhere, really. Why is he on the team?

And yes, Hawkgirl is basically there because of the animated series. But it was crap how in the animated series that just because of a magically resistent mace, she was able to own Dr. Fate. What kind of crap is that? roll eyes (sarcastic)

Stewart has some good showings, but basically he's a loser.

Validus
How does this team compare to the Big 7 in power? A lot of these guys can't make up for the loss of Wally, J'onn and Orin though Red Tornado helps. Bart will be joining soon too.

Red Tornado does help. However, it also helps that there are 10 of them, rather than 7. But, I would still say the original 7 is overall more powerful per member. It's kind of hard to replace Wally (barring the later showing of Bart for a little bit), Aquaman, and J'onn, with Black Lightning, Vixen, Speedy, and Hawkgirl. erm

Juntai
Think the new Aquaman will eventually join?
I figure he's going to be solo for a while...
But he'll have to come out sooner or later and accept his destiny as a member of the Justice League.

Lucid Lui
There's no telepath on the team right? I wonder how that'll affect things.

He's turning up in Action Comics soon though, so who knows, maybe that could lead to him joining a team in the future.

I think Bart changes the whole game. Right now I would say they are less powerful but once Bart joins the scales tip. Red Tornado is about as powerful as Orin. That might make a decent thread actually. J'onn is hard to replace though but Vixen and Lightning aren't too weak and Roy is a plot device.

Vixen always seems to find herself in more trouble than anybody else. She tries to fight somebody, but instead ends up getting beaten down pretty badly. Black Lightning is a goof. Don't really like him. Roy is a plot device, that might help. However, I based my decision on the fact that Bart hasn't joined yet. Once he does, then they'll probably be just as good.

Btw, how do you figure Red Tornado is just as good as Orion?

Validus
Orin, Arthur, Aquaman. Not Orion.

A well written Vixen should be plenty dangerous. She's basically a female Animal Man and we all know what he can do.

Yep, Hal is a definite big time player on any team.

Yeah, happened in an old Flash comic. She ended up choking out Wally.

UniOmni
I hope they don't go predictable and mesh Bl and Vixen.

But i do like the look.
But them not having Jonn on the League is very noticeable, and not in a good way. He's the heart of the JLA.

Yeah he has been in every incarnation, dunno why they broke the cycle. Really dont care about Vixen,BL or Red Tornado. The DCU has an extensive library of characters, of interesting characters and some of these ones dont fall in that category.

J'onn wasn't in the Satellite League either.

Merely an educated guess. There is an 11th member joining and the Flash writers said Bart would be joining a team in 07 and Meltzer said every team needs a speedster. Since DC only has two speedsters left and one of them is in JSA, well.....

2 left? I thought the new Boomerang was a speedster plus Bart, Griffin and jay Garrick. Thats at least 4. Whatever happened to the speedster girl?

Jay and Bart are all that's left. Jesse Quick lost her powers awhile ago.

Boomerang has a speed burst but he can't really control it well enough to call him a speedster. Plus he can't go very long distances. Griffin isn't suppose to be around too long from what I've heard (thank god for that).

jrodslam
2 minorities and a android is a different look, but id still rahter have Zatanna on the team instead of Canary Vixen or Hawkgirl.

HOWEVER, im glad Hal is in the main squad.Happy Dance I hate John.

Lucid Lui
I'd have preferred Kyle. The Ion book just isn't doing it for me, whereas Hal's book is great.

Validus
Hal or Kyle is fine by me. Hal as a character is at his best with others. The Green Arrow, Batman, and Guy Gardner team ups in the main GL book have been the best of the run so far. All of his solo issues have been pretty average.

Firstly, shit cover... the Ed Benes one (that was drawn months ago), is far better imo...

I'd rather it was ollie, for the chemistry with hal and all...

hawkgirl? vixen? no

black lightning is ok i suppose... though i've no idea why he's on the team, hadn't he retired before IC, and only came back to help?

Best thing about this team? We get to see Ed Benes draw some fine ass women... regularly...

Stewart is what?
John is one of the greatest GL, just don't get the respect he deserve.
He has considerable showings, and just to mention his skill with the ring, he built a STARSHIP, with all sort of hi-tech in it, even emergency capsules for evacuation.
And he also leaded the Darkstars in their battles, he's respect among the galaxy as a great hero and field leader.

marvelprince
I'm loving it. I've loved Black Lightning's appearances in Outsiders and figured he was gonna come out of retirement, and cause of Outsiders I figured Roy was gonna make the leap to the JLA. I'm Vixen is back, I feel she had so much potential that has yet to be tapped, same with Red Tornado. Nice to see Hawkgirl make the jump, though I would have preferred Hawkman much more. Team looks full of promise so I hope Meltzer does not dissapoint me

stormfront13
damn...i'm loving this line-up. especially vixen

Draco69
I like the line-up. It's something new. However get rid of Black Lightening or give him an upgrade.

Also Black Canary isn't completely necessary. Her sonic scream is useful in desperate times but...

They should have added Zatanna or Triumph.

imo...they should've replaced black ligthning with someone like zatanna, and replaced arsenal for tempest. honestly what's arsenal going to add to the team that batman already can't? yes...he has those mystery arrows, but that's about it. everyone else adds something different except him. so just imo, the line-up should have been

superman
wonderwoman
batman
vixen
red tornado
black canary
tempest(arsenal)
zatanna(black lightning)
green lantern
hawk-woman


btw...i would have loved the add of starfire or someone. and draco...i only recently got into DC so who's triumph?

Draco69
Triumph is DC's Magneto. He looks like Sephiroth with a buzz cut.

Tempest should have been added to. The JLA is lacking magic, a telepath and a water elemental. Tempest has all this in spades...

I agree .... With Bart likely tp join, and if Tempest replaced Hawkgirl, they would definitely be able to match the original 7. League stories usually provide lodas of scenarios for PIS and extreme power displays. With this in mind, someone with lightning powers is going to be a good call. Im so glads Pierce (B.L.) is joining instead of Cyborg.

Anything Superman or pretty much leaguer can do, Hal SHOULD be able to do.

Like in the OMAC project. Ya know, Hal? Instead of waiting for Batman to drop an EMP bomb why don't you make one yourself, you dumb@$$?

Triumph was blown up when Lex Luthor blew up the Watchtower. But he can always come back.

Like I said, he better get an upgrade. What's the hell of use of firing lightening at people?

My guess Hawkgirl is getting her magic nullifying mace.

I like Vixen for obvious reasons.... eek!

Wally West
I want Nightwing on the team sad

UniOmni
Triumph wouldn't have worked on the JLA.

When the next Superman goes rogue story comes up, how would they explain a DC Magneto who can go toe to toe with Superman not owning him?

He's too powerful.

But i am glad Jonn isn't there. No more spotlight jobbing missions.

And Dick can't be on the team.

Everybody knows Wonder Woman is terrified of Dick, and we can't have a timid, jumpy Diana on the JLA.

However, I still think it was just a stupid move by DC to get a black character into the leauge, rather than having a character in the leauge because they are a good character who happens to be black

This team is Brad's fanboy team come true. I doubt it has anything to do with anybody's skin color. For example, he picked Vixen because Ed Benes draws her well.

He could have easily taken BL's spot

I dsagree entirely .... Steel maybe, but Cyborg does nothing fort me (And i don't mean like that). If they wanted someone with Quantum like powers (like Black Ligthning) i think they should have picked the Ray, and given a costume change. I think captain Atom could have also worked, but it looks like they are turning him into a badguy.

The Ray is ridiculously powerful. He would have worked on the team especially considering the FF were killed...

Thing is that Cyborg is actually one of the smartest guys in comics.

He is easily 10000x smarter than Bats yes

I hate the new Freedom Fighters erm

Bring back the old ones sad

Yeah the Old epsiodes where full of PIS, like that. Techniqually her Nth metal mace should be as powerful in the JLU cartoon, as Nth metal has power over the 4 fundamental forces (that probably govern even the laws of magic). Its kind of like D.C.'s answer to Vibranium. I've always thoughts thats why Hawkman can hit people like Supes, Marvel and Black Adam, and actually hurt them.

I was quite happy with the rumour that Natasha was joining the team. Anyone elses depiction of Steel would not live up to expectations, after what Morisson did with him.

Agreed .... I've yet to see Cyborgs plans take down the entire JLA.

Draco69
I don't know why they turned Steel into liquid steel. Was a better more formidable armour that difficult to think of???

Validus
I'd bet anything Steel dies in 52.

She doesn't. He was building one for her before she got those new powers.

Well Ollie did beat Deathstroke in a fight. Granted DS was caught off guard GA was still taking gim to school. He also has a cool sword that he also uses.

Green Arrow had the fight rigged from the start, all the way down to his papertrail being what led Deathstroke to him.

Hmmm, during the fight with all the shouting he was doing in his head DS came across as freakin than being impressed. Afterwards in jail he seemed impressed

I hate GA's book right now.

Its way to political for me. Honestly if I wanted a political book I would go pick up Ex Machina.

Normal covers. Ed Benes takes a dump on Michael Turner.
