I wasn't thrilled with Conway's stories, but I kept hoping there would be some improvement. It was around #179-180 that I decided that was unlikely. But I liked Dick Dillin's art enough to keep buying the mag.<BR/><BR/>IMO, Zatanna and Firestorm served the same purpose in the JLA that Conway had used Star-Spangled Kid and Power Girl for in the JSA. These were characters that were either completely new (Power Girl & Firestorm) or essentially "blank slates" (SSK and Zatanna). I can't fault a writer for wanting to use characters who were open to his interpretation. But the result was that the more established characters were cast aside. I stopped reading the JSA's strip because of Power Girl, SSK, and the Huntress. Now it looked like JLA was going down the same path.<BR/><BR/>Firestorm was an okay character, but he didn't belong in the JLA, for the reasons russell gave yesterday. But as a additional criticism, the huge contrast between ways the JLA treated Firestorm and Black Lightning really ticked me off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-54170899768760540452008-05-23T17:35:00.000-04:002008-05-23T17:35:00.000-04:00I think it was her Legion flight ring she got duri...I think it was her Legion flight ring she got during one of Booster Gold's time travel stories that will be appearing in the summer of 2011.Grearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195855947250885889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-64942283624381364152008-05-23T17:23:00.000-04:002008-05-23T17:23:00.000-04:00Russell, it looks like a mistake on # 179's cover-...Russell, it looks like a mistake on # 179's cover-Zatanna couldn't fly,at least without casting a spell, and even then, I only remember her 'manipulating wind currents' to lift her up-sort of like Mary Poppins, only without an umbrella!<BR/>As for # 180, maybe those mind-controlled zombie-guys have hoisted her into the air....uh, I'm shutting up before this becomes a 'non-Comics Code approved' comment!;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-2793022232178139252008-05-23T16:39:00.000-04:002008-05-23T16:39:00.000-04:00Look at that roll call---talk about over-used char...Look at that roll call---talk about over-used characters!!!!
