Who'd Like A Cocktail? #255

Yeah, you tell . . . hey, hang on, that's what I do . . .

Monday Memories #47 - JLA: Earth 2

Each Monday this year I'll be taking a look back at a random comic, prestige format issue, graphic novel or collection of reprints from amongst my 3,000 or so comics that date from 1962 to 2003 - I figured anything in the last ten years would be too recent to hark back to.

The comics are chosen completely at random and apart from a four week lead-in period, even I don't know what I'll be looking at in the weeks to come!

Forever Evil Teasers

Despite yesterday's post claiming I was unwell, I seem to have recovered faster than expected - again, I blame the heat.

Anyway, on to news (of a sort) about DC's upcoming Forever Evil series/event and a series of teaser posters that they've released:

A female Green Lantern . . . of Earth? That would be a nice change and might not be that far-fetched: Hal's currently in charge of the Corps; Kyle's off being a White Lantern; Guy's off being a Red Lantern; leaving John as the only GL of Sector 2814. Does he get a new partner?

The Teen Titans are due to get their behinds kicked in Forever Evil so it's no surprise seeing their shattered logo. However, is that Superman and Catwoman walking over it? Or is that the shadow of a cape at the top of the lady's thighs... is that Ultraman and Superwoman of the Crime Syndicate?! That would be nice.

Nightwing, who barely escaped death in Infinite Crisis, doesn't look to be having much fun here as his logo appears dripping with blood.

Any thoughts?

Friday Night Fights - Lady Larcenist

Spacebooger demands a fight end in feet flying fury so that's what he gets here as I thank DC Comics for their wonderful Crisis On Multiple Earths series of trade paperbacks as they save me a shed load of money getting those early, hard to find Justice League of America issues.

This time round, it's Wonder Woman vs Superwoman

A little competition, Superwoman? Surely the Amazon Princess can give you more than "a little"?

Oh no! Who'd have thought a villain called Superwoman would have . . . super-legs?!

A super-catapult!? Whatever next?!

Merciful Minerva indeed . . .

This charming tale of girl on girl action 60's style was taken from the reprints of Justice League of America in Crisis on Multiple Earths Vol 1 and was written by Gardner Fox with art by Mike Sekowsky.
