Justice League Seeks Justice

No they’re not…it’s just another smart-ass comment from Laurence who thinks he’s just too damn clever…here’s the article “Justice Leaguer’s” -

When a long-loved superhero disappears, retires, or dies, there’s always someone else who steps up and carries on their mission. But replacement heroes are a touchy subject: people see them as second class citizens who aren’t as good as the original idols. But no matter what you think of them, they ALWAYS bring about a new sense of freshness to a character or book. And more often than not, these characters never stick around forever but are just fill-ins for the time being: from Kyle Rayner stepping in Hal to Bucky taking up the mantle of Captain America. And while the comic companies are currently making up for past mistakes by bringing back long lost heroes, the second-stringers are still hanging around and playing important roles- like in DC’s newest incarnation of The Justice League of America.

After the fallout of Cry for Justice (which is still wrapping up) the JLA has once again been decimated and torn down to its core. And James Robinson has stepped in to build them back up. Robinson is known not only for his amazing writing style, but his usage of second, third, and fourth string characters (The Shade and the Dibny in his Starman series, for example). And once again, he does not disappoint. Filling in the ranks along favorites such as The Atom, Green Lantern, and Black Canary are more obscure players like the female Dr. Light, The Guardian, and Congorilla (AWESOME!!!). But it wouldn’t be the JLA without the big three: Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. However, Robinson has decided to give us some of the newer generation of heroes rather than the old standbys. In Superman’s absence, Mon-El takes the stage. Dick Grayson takes the part of Batman. And Donna Troy steps in to play the role of Amazon warrior. With the addition of Cyborg and Starfire to the team, James Robinson has really given the Titans characters a huge promotion: no longer are they hiding in the shadows of their mentors but are finally stepping out into the big leagues.

When the new roster was announced, I was skeptical. I am in love with Robinson’s Cry for Justice and relished in the idea of Congorilla sneaking into the League. But I’ve really never cared for any of the Titan’s characters, save for Wally West and didn’t fancy them being in a monthly JLA book. Why? Well, because they’ve always been sort of boring. And maybe that’s due to their lame costumes or the fact that they’ve never been given the proper chance to shine. Now that Bruce and Clark are out of the way, they have no one to be overshadowed by or compared to. When the Justice League needs a Batman, there’s only one person to turn to: Dick Grayson. The newly re-launched series is only 2 issues in, but the book already has a great stride. The characters are well fleshed out and easy to connect to, whether you like them or not. If you like good writing and great characters, give it a try. And if you don’t care for these fill-in characters, at least do it for Congorilla.
