When I star...I have a horrible confession to make. <BR/><BR/>When I started to follow comics and really get into them, it was the era of the Detroit League. <BR/><BR/>And I <I>liked</I> them. I still dig that era of JLA. Without irony. I liked Steel. The interplay between J'onn and Gypsy was touching. And even as a young hetero boy, I could appreciate the raging sexual allure of Dale Gunn. <BR/><BR/>They weren't good comics, but dammit, I loved them. You should have seen my face when I read the comic where Vibe was murdered. Shock! Shock, I tell you!<BR/><BR/>Back to the topic: re-naming an existing character to fill an old name strikes me as a losing proposition. Turn Gypsy into the new Phantom Lady and I'll bet within two years she'll be Gypsy again, if only because a writer won't know what else to do with her. I sez leave her be.<BR/><BR/>And dammit, would it kill the writers to make J'onn J'onzz a regular supporting character in whatever book she's in? Their relationship was the best part of her character.Harvey Jerkwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118848012122050416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1138045337175309222006-01-23T14:42:00.000-05:002006-01-23T14:42:00.000-05:00Just want to say that I was one of the remaining t...Just want to say that I was one of the remaining two readers of the original Freedom Fighters series.
