And I felt the New Gods just weren't used well -- take Desaad, for instance, who captures the heroes and then ... just lets them go.<br /><br />I wouldn't ever say no to new work from Jerry Ordway, but I didn't find Levitz and Ordway's previous pairing on JSA (roundabouts Infinite Crisis) so strong. I do appreciate your recommendation of Dr. Fate, though.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-22674892949994872822015-08-29T20:39:40.962-05:002015-08-29T20:39:40.962-05:00Levitz started out strong on Worlds' Finest, b...Levitz started out strong on Worlds' Finest, but I believe he was hindered by having to work toward Futures End and World's End and having to synch with Earth 2 toward the end. For me, it didn't help that there was so much emphasis on the New Gods, that George Perez and Kevin Maguire left the series, or that it was tied to the dystopian crap that seems to be "in" at the moment.<br /><br />As a huge JSA fan, I would love it if Levitz would be given an opportunity to re-imagine the JSA with, perhaps, Nicola Scott, Jerry Ordway, or Ethan Van Sciver on art. His Doctor Fate -- which you should be reading -- is the book I look forward to reading most each month and is my favorite of the June DCYou launches.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137701960852470073noreply@blogger.com
