Ultimately I took it like I took weird elf history in an old Dragonlance book--ignored it for content, but let it wash over me for atmosphere. At least, I'm thinking, the <I>writer</I> knows a lot about his characters, even if I couldn't care less. Though I imagine that's not what most writers are shooting for. So I see your point. In your opinion, what does fall into the old-school JLA superheroics catagory?<BR/><BR/>jeffrey -- Never read any of the Mark Waid run?! None?! Please, please, for gosh sake's man, do yourself a favor and go pick up <I>Flash: The Return of Barry Allen</I> TP.

I mean, I like the whole "blue collar hero" that Geoff Johns (and Mark Waid? I never read his run) gave Wally, but put him next to the other members of the JLA and he becomes rather dull. Which is one reason why I like Jerk Batman as opposed to the "nice" Batman that people seem to be clamouring for.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of picking this up, but most online reviews, and the art convinced me otherwise. Then you come out to say that it's good. Decisions, decisions...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
