Which is good, I guess, since his main function with the League seems to be serving as the housekeeper for the satellite HQ, taking care of the League's tech, running the Boom Tubes, and so on.<br /><br />In other words, Cyborg is the League's house boy. And I'm not trying to offend anyone by saying this, but DC's current treatment of Cyborg kind of offends me.<br /><br />I thought it was interesting that Hawkman's portrayal in this week's Justice League was the best so far in the New 52, better than all 16 issues of his own title. Geoff Johns had, and has, a handle on Hawkman that is sorely missed here.<br /><br />And how about some League villains? We've seen Darkseid, and Felix Faust over in JLA Dark, but where are Despero, Doctor Destiny, and the Crime Syndicate?Steve Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-37406025684940827752013-02-01T10:54:00.872-05:002013-02-01T10:54:00.872-05:00The Kryptonite Man (granted, a new one, but same c...The Kryptonite Man (granted, a new one, but same concept) showed up in the Action Comics Annual a while back.<br /><br />And Animal Man and Swamp Thing have been a treasure trove of villains later.

Heaven...I really like the piracy thing for Aquaman. Heaven knows he could use another plot besides Atlantean intrigue, or, worse yet, war with Atlantis. <br /><br />Wonder Woman is definitely firing on all cylinders. Taking the Percy Jackson route was clever. Hey, now that I think about it, maybe I should have my kid read some of them. She likes Wonder Woman and Percy Jackson. I would like to see Drs. Poison and Cyber, though. And Giganta is a favorite.Bryan Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-13902039497101835172013-01-31T14:41:37.691-05:002013-01-31T14:41:37.691-05:00You know, now that you mention it, I'm sort of...You know, now that you mention it, I'm sort of sorry that Wonder Woman isn't taking on supervillains. Which is not to say I want the current story to end any time soon; this is Wonder Woman in top form. And recasting her as one of Zeus's bastard offspring gives her a supporting cast / family that actually works. It even positions her, unexpectedly, as the one relative who knows how to keep the peace on Thanksgiving.<br /><br />But that said, I like Wonder Woman keeping one foot in the realm of superherodom.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-31381664514885332102013-01-31T13:54:40.769-05:002013-01-31T13:54:40.769-05:00Oh, that's good to know.

"Organization for General Revenge and Enslavement" seems a little too unsubtle for today's tastes.<br /><br />Since you brought it up....howza bout an OGRE Week? You could even a have a renaming contest! (Same acronym, different words.)r duncannoreply@blogger.com
