Though i'm enjoying the Hal/Roy/Dinah interaction most so far.

The story is great, but I could still do w/o the involvement with RT's family. It seems just.... blah.

Agreed. Especially when they faced the Red Tornado army together.

I liked Roy and Kendra. I see romance in the future for those two and given Hawkman's feelings for Kendra plus his SERIOUS dislike of Green Arrow I think it'd be interesting to say the least

I was thinking about that too

I like this book a lot but it would have been better if the Big 3 didn't spend 3 issues talking around a table. The same thing was done with the same effect in JSA and it only took a couple of pages. Meltzer's dialogue is excellent but my patience for his storytelling style wears thin.

I agree. The book is good but moving at a snails pace. JSA got the team together in an issue.

That plus the whole involvement with Red Tornado's family I could do without.

Actually I feel the family involvement is one of the more important elements of the story. It is Tornado's Path afterall so really he and his family should be the focal point, not the Big 3 sitting around

I'd trade all the scenes of the Big 3 sitting around and discussing who should be in their cool kids club for more scenes of Tornado's family in a heartbeat. RT is a potentially awesome character with cool powers so more exploration into his character is certainly welcome.

Agreed ✅

Tornado is another one of those DC characters who could definitly fit into the MU no problem

It's important, but it can be done better imo.

I find myself wanting to see some fighting, and after 5 issues of his family worrying about him being human, or him being an android.... blah blah blah

Idk, it just seems monotonous to me. 😬

He simply stated that because your post attests to the kind of Marvel biased people here.

Oh I see 😛

I'm outraged,seriously a league without jonn ❌ I mean he never really made waves in the older series but if you look closely he always saved the day in his small way.

And w/o a Flash as well.

I agree that they should have J'onn on the team.

I mean BLACK LIGHTNING for Christ's sake? Yeah...

I haven't read it yet,but you mean they actually have Black Lightning?Against the kind of people the JLA fight what use is some guy who shoots electricity!! but still i would like to see him go up against Despero 😈 Coincidentally what JLA arc did they fight Quantum Mechanics in?

Not to mention Geo Force...

I don't mind new people getting chance at being in the League but I do think theres a certain core, namely the Big 7, that should always be there. JLA is supposed to be the best of the best after all.

The roster does seem a little lacking. 😬

It's not the worst comic out there, but it's not the best either.

well there are some substitutes for some of the bigger leauge members

Hawkgirl for Hawkman

Arsenal or "Red Arrow" for Green Arrow (which is fine because without Hawkman on the team GA would be a lot less interesting 😄)

Vixen is a cool addition I guess 😬

Black Lightning is kind of a weird choice, especially his awful new costume (I'll take 70's noglastic anyday over his stupid new look)

Yeah wtf is up with geo-force anyway?!? 🤨

And if it makes you feel any better Val, this weeks best books were all DC books (52, All Star Superman and Nightwing all rocked 😄)

Well I refuse to acknowledge Bart as the Flash right now.

If they ever remake the classic league I want Barry to be the Flash, not Wally (Even though they are both two of my favorite characters)

hey Geo-Forvcce is cool he went toe to toe with Pre crsis Superman 😠
and he rules his own country 😎

Anways I was tired of the big 7 lineup I'm glad that the League is more varied this time around.

However JSA is >>>>>>>>> JLA by far

I'd even say that Eaglesham> Benes 😉

Yeah, JSA shows far more promise than JLA right now

Maybe its because JLA is kind of predictable or maybe its because Micheal Turner's covers for JLA have been complete garbage for the most part, where Alex Ross's covers are fantastic 😄

Even though I have never read JSA before, I already love most of the characters (Stargirl, Wildcat, Hawkman and Powergirl are some of my favorites) Plus some new characters are really growing on me (Starman= DC's Deadpool 😉 , Cyclone is cool and Damage is badass) and I'm also intruged by Hourman, he seems like a cool character, but his powers confuse me 😬

Hey, what you talkin bout? 😠

I think Vixen is going think Vixen is going to be a great addition. Screw Geo-Force. Meltzer needs a longer run, to fully develop the things he set in motion. I can live w/o Canary (never liked her).
