  The Panic of The Composite Creature BRAVE AND THE BOLD #1 Published:  28 th January 2009 Cover Date:  March 2009 Cover Artists:   James Tucker / Brian Miller Writer:  Matt Wayne Penciler:  Andy Suriano Inker:   Dan Davis Colourist:   Heroic Age Letterer:   Randy Gentile Editors:   Rachel Gluckstern Introduction After so much, or really so little, 90s EXTREME I need a bit of a palate cleanser. So as a touch of unofficial synergy with Shag's look at the Brave and the Bold, as posted on the Fire and Water Network ( for the rare person who's not here from said site, the episode is here ).

Trinity #16

    Trinity #16 Brave Men and Woman October 2008 In 2008 DC rebooted its entire universe, only to switch it back only a year later without any mention! Instead of the JSA protecting humanity from supervillains instead the Justice Society International (obviously a nod to the JLI) does that job as some of the founding members of the JLA no longer exist causing this entire timeline to come into existence! More people need to be made aware of this lost DC Universe!
