I’m SO EXCITED!!!! I’m trying to explain the historical significance of the Justice Society of America’s first Primetime appearance to Popapathy but don’t think he’s feeling my joy.
Sylvester Pemberton, Courtney Whitmore, Wesley Dodds, Carter Hall, Kent Nelson… LOVED IT!!! Biggest nerdgasm I’ve seen on TV EVER. So many fanboy nods! The shots in museum panning over the memorabilia were magnificent and I loved the painting… anyone seen the image online yet?
A bit surprised Clark never thought to ask why they all looked so young. I’m hoping that Geoff Johns is grooming JSA to be Smallville’s spinoff successor. But if he is, the costumes need work. Stargirl looked OK, but how hard is it to design a belly shirt and hot pants. I stick by my original assertion that Hawkman should have been played by someone who was more believable as a mace-wielding barbarian. The ab covering harness looked ridiculous with Shanks’ (nice for an ordinary human but far from the Hawkman we are accustomed to) arms coming out of it. Dr Fate looked like he was wearing football pads under his blue spandex. Either cast actors who have the physique to fill the costume or hire better costume designers.
BUT enough negativity… costumes aside I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the 2 hour special episode. I hadn’t realized Checkmate was part of it until I read the on demand episode synopsis. Pam Grier as Amanda Waller is sheer brilliance and it looks like we’ve not seen the last of her… or hopefully the JSA. FINGERS CROSSED! WE LOVE YOU GEOFF JOHNS!

With the Scandal Savage alone at Secret Six HQ against Amanda Waller’s forces and Catman, Rag Doll, Bane, Black Alice, Deadshot and Jeanette at the throats of the deadly Suicide Squad, with a throng of Black Lanterns prepared to wipe them all out, who wins? We do! Secret Six #18 wraps up the Blackest Night crossover and prepares the way for what comes next…
It’s the exciting conclusion of John Ostrander and Gail Simone’s epic team-up! The Black Lanterns have both the Suicide Squad and the Secret Six up against the wall. But Amanda Waller always has a plan. That plan: Manhunter!
Plus, Deadshot is forced to make the decision of his life!
Its been cool to see the Suicide Squad again, but I’m looking more forward to #19 with the return of Cheshire… Roy got Lian, so has Chesire made another love-child?

Good news for fans of the DCU’s resident backwards-talking descendant of DaVinci. Zatanna is getting her own ONGOING series starting in May! Paul Dini will be writing and the art will be provided by Stephane Roux (first image is a study of the DC sorceress he did in 2008). For the series he’s used a variation of the costume including fishnets AND thigh high boots (one of my favorite versions of her signature look).
Zee’s similarly powered teen cousin Zachary Zatara will be a recurring character and he allies in the JLA may be popping up from time to time as she acts as a peacekeeper and avenger in the worlds of magic. Here’s hoping Timothy Hunter will show up sometime too!
