Just read this, and i have to say, bar the scene with the villains picking their teammates, i in general just didnt like this issue... i don't know why, but as i was reading it i just kept thinking 'why is this guy writing jla?"

i got that exact same impression... this isn't the animated series, and i think mcduffie needs to realise that the characters are different from their animated counterparts too...
superman pushed bruce to let hal in, and now mcduffie lets john in just because he wrote him on jlu?
all we need now is for john to start banging kendra and we'll be f*cked...

Comic book John has a good history with the JLA. He's pretty much guaranteed entry like Wally was.But can't have two GL's cmon lol.
but hal is like barry, he was one of the originals...
i don't see why mcduffie wants john when hal is a perfectly good GL...
also, where did you get that quote in your sig... it looks so familiar...
John has no real history with the League. He joined for the first time during the last JLA run (when JLU was still on the air) and was basically irrelevant the entire time he was there.
I don't mind him being on the team at all. Rotating Lanterns makes perfect sense. I just hope thats actually the case instead of just being an excuse to write off Hal.
I'm also with pr in hoping it doesn't turn into JLU. That show was and is great but this shouldn't be JLU.

I agree with the "too much like the jlu" assesment, but the writing and art is quality, and I like the story established so far. If McDuffie does something interesting within the next four issues, I am going to stay on.
don't get me wrong, the idea of a league of bad guys is a great idea imo, and opens up some killer fight possibilities, but so far i havent been that impressed...
maybe thats just me...
my thing is i could have sworn Grodd was imprisioned in gorrilla city...how did he get free? and.. IMO this is a bad idea. why? becuz no matter what luthor says, zbout taking it to the heroes real vicious this is just another machination for him to try and destroy superman....which means he's just gonna use everybody, take advantage of them to further his own ends...then of course you have others who arent accustomed to being in a supplementary role like slade, grodd and joker who are eventually gonna wanna call thier own shots and betray luthor in the end too, which might be a moot point cuz luthor's likely gonna have contingency plans for all of them anyway
