Justice League of America 21

The Human Flame and Libra have been touted as 2 of the big villains of the upcoming Final Crisis and in this issue of the JLA we supposedly get to know a bit about them… Due 051521

OK I wanted to like this book. I’ve loved Carlos Pacheco’s artwork since his Bishop miniseries, and I’m REALLY trying to get excited for the Final Crisis. But I just couldn’t manage this issue.

There was just too much not to like. I have NO idea when this takes place. It seems to be Pre Countdown #1 (the Trinity doesn’t know Ray Palmer is back), but post Firestorm’s induction. The Trinity mention’s Martian Manhunter is on a “secret mission” but remain utterly unconcerned that #1 he’s not back yet, and #2 that the planet the Salvation Run baddies were supposed to be is NOT where they (and the Martain Manhunter) ended up. JLA figured this out 2 issues ago and Batman just says “when J’onn’s completed his work I’m sure he’ll be open to rejoining the team.” If it wasn’t the wrong universe I’d say Batman is a Skrull.

All this and Firestorm practically saying “well I won’t make a gay joke, but…” really added up to one pretty (Pacheco’s art is the only saving grace) but craptastically bad issue.

Who the Hell is Elaine Stritch?

Watching The Big Gay Sketch Show season 2 with popapathy after an evening of cosmos and pizza in the Castro when this sketch came on.

Popapthy was amused but had no idea who Elaine Stritch was so I threatened to take away his gay card and had to go on a youtube tear to demonstrate the talent of someone whose been a great old broad since 1970.

Here she is from a behind the scenes look (part 1 of 2) of the final song taped during the initial recording session for the 1970 Company Original Cast Album. Check out her pupils. She knew how to party. Well it WAS 1970.
