Monday Memories #37 - JLA: Scary Monsters #6

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!

Who Was Who Is Who #35

So for want of anything better to write about on a Monday, I'm going to go through all my copies of Who's Who and see if I can predict who will make it over to the new DCU by the end of 2012, who might make it and who hasn't got a Pig-Iron's chance.

PHANTOM GIRL - one of the perennial Legion members, even I'm aware that Phantom Girl is likely to be included in most versions of the team and a quick check on the internet reveals that she is alive and well in the latest Legion of Super-Heroes series.

PHANTOM LADY - at the time of writing (start of April) none of the versions of the Phantom Lady appear to have survived into the post-Flashpoint world. The last page of The Ray series, though, hinted at a possible return for Uncle Sam and, by extension, the Freedom Fighters so maybe they'll be back at some point. For that reason, Phantom Lady goes in the possible column.

Who'd Like A Cocktail? #110

Edward I continues his cross-border relations policy

Missed out on my comics last week so a bumper haul this week - possibly the last of 2010!

Who'd Like A Cocktail? #29

A Cocktail? I'd like some comics this week if it's all the same to you. There was a paucity this week when I went to collect my comics, hence the ridiculously small list below:

• Alan Moore's Light Of The Countenance - so God is a TV that talks with an overtly flowery vocabulary, uses portmanteau words and imagery to express hidden truths . . . but can't project that intelligence out to its worshippers? Hmmm, sounds like a God alright;
• Trinity #42 - Luthor's outburst about using the power to reshape the world and turn it into a paradise; cue philosophical debate on the morals of that idea.

And the thing that made me laugh:

Ah, Plastic Man, the JLA is a poorer place without you.
