  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 ). Whilst Power Girl didn't appear in the animated show, as it seems to be the pattern, she did appear in the first-ever issue of the tie-in comic. And whilst it doesn't mention the JLE at all it just happens to be set in London (England) of all places! Story Synopsis We open as in the cartoon with a vignette where our boisterous Aquaman helps Batman fight Carapax , a Ted Kord Blue Beetle v

Trinity #15-52!

  Trinity October 2008 - July 2009 Trinity is frustrating! Not the story which is a fascinating story. Basically, the Trinity (Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman) are banished to another dimension by some of DC's heavy hitters. With them gone history is rewritten so they never existed, instead the Justice Society stepped up and took the strain. But being an ALt Universe it's a little darker and l less hopeful. Thankfully Alfred, the best of all characters, collects together those characters who are connected to the lost heroes, an Eradicator style Super Girl (why it's not Power Girl I'm not sure), gangster Dick Grayson, Fox New style Lois Lane and librarian Donna Troy. They go on a journey to this dimension to find that the Trinty became god-like being that helps guide three alien species. It goes well until it doesn't and they withdraw to do god-like things for however long things have gone on this world! Through the journey the characters remember who they and th

    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!

JLA: Created Equal #1 - The Fall

  THE FALL JLA: CREATED EQUAL #1 Published:   19th January 2000 Cover Date:  March 2000 Cover Artists:   Kevin Maguire / Joe Rubinstein / Dave Stewart Writer:  Fabian Nicieza Penciler:  Kevin Maguire Inker:   Joe Rubinstein Colourist:   Gloria Vasquez / Digital Chameleon Letterer:   Bob Lappan Editors:   Andrew Helfer / Jim Higgins Introduction So we start the new millennium of this reboot by covering my first-ever Elseworlds, if you ignore Tangent and Bombshells! And it's kinda sad that some of the points bought up in this mini, especially the second part (which we'll get to eventually) still have some resonance in 2023! And obviously, this blog being what it is we start with an Elseworld that probably no one has given any thought to since it first came out almost twenty years ago! Synopsis We open with a character we'll meet again later Maria Contranetti, a struggling comedian putting up a flyer, only for her coffee to be spilled by a rushing through Kyle Rayner, our curr
