snaps: JSA All Stars #2

... where a creepy stalker named Johnny Sorrow is seemingly responsible for Courtney's kidnapping. not sure how old Johnny is, but he sure dresses like an old pervert.

not Lady Shiva, not Dagger ... Shiv.


at least she has a better sense of humor than Jocasta. or Danger. or Plato.


oh yeah? well, you're not worthy of my Demonicats!! or my Accursedogs!!!


oi! George Lucas just speed-dialed his lawyer.


define "love".

... where apparently Ronald Reagan lost the Cold War, and someone luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvs StarGirl so much he kidnaps her. man, she's still a kid!! you are so deaaaaaad!! and it reads like Fables because we get a lot of torn clothing off a female (well, its just PG, but hey.....)

1) Putin? Vladimir Putin, is that you?


2) apparently, one of the JSA members is some sort of Disney mascot. (hey! wrong company! rrrrrrraaaawwwwrrrrrr!)

more mysteries, and the only thing that woke us up was ... oy! that would be telling. suffice it to say that the cockfight between Magog and Wildcat ended ... well, in an adult manner. ohhh, maturity! we're not sure yet why Stargirl is the target of the bad guys, and why this All-American (Wussy) Kid did what he did. there is a master villain waiting in the wings - and i sure hope to Kingdom Come it's not Amos Fortune, or Roulette. or the Key. wait, wrong Justice book. let me also just say Jess Merino draws an awesome Magog - who would not be scared stiff at the sight of this golden horned armored god? ok, moving along ...

this is what we waited in bated breath for? ("well, who asked you, jerk?" - Billingham & Matturges, Inc.) team's on the ropes, Mr. T bleeding to death, then (the newest) Dr. Fate steps in and villains turn tail. the problem with a team book (grudging agreement here) is that more often than not teammates inevitably clash, and that's what we're left with - Magog and Wildcat going boot to paw over strategy and principle. did i mention this was just part 2, hence prepare to be bored in spots?

now there's a team book. thank goodness the JSA can still be name-checked. although it may be headed for changes too, as this is the debut issue of Fables writing team of Billingham and Matturges. and what a debut. the team gets ambushed once, even with an almost full deck (yes, i know, Hawkman isn't here - you know why), and are on the ropes. much worse, they get ambushed twice, with Mr. Terrific back home investigating the devolvement of Obsidian into a stone, getting knifed in the back (that's not Fair Play!) by a mind-controlled recruit. the whole thing reads just like Fables, and other fans may need to get used to it. no matter, excellent cliffhanger and we all await with bated breath for the next issue to arrive. and oy! welcome back, Jess Merino! haven't seen you in a while.

JSF

Billingham and Matturges take over JSA. [newsarama] expect Dr. Midnite to be operating on Humpty Dumpty, and Mr. Terrific throwing a fit when he's annoyed by all those talking animals. oh, and they should all take Jack when he shows up to hit on Power Girl. should be fun!
