JLA Classified #4 (Spoilers)

[Hobgoblin]

Anyone reading this series? I really loved the first arc, but I don't know about the new one beginning in issue #4. I guess it's just odd reading about 3rd-string DCU characters.

 

Thoughts?

It wouldn't be odd if you had some background, but I guess you don't know about JLI or (more recently) "Formerly Known as the Justice League." This arc is a continuation of one of the best series of the late 80s early 90s by the same creative team.

I thought this issue was awesome. It had an independent feel to it. Since there was no major use of power or a major fight. It was just a fun lighthearted issue, but not so over the top as She-Hulk normally is.

 

Although it was kinda weird reading about Sue Dibny.

Yeah, took me a while to grasp that, even though I kept reading "Sue" and knew Elongated Man was right there. It did have a very indy feel to it. It was cool, just not what I've become accustomed too in the past year.

The original creative team: Giffen/ DeMatteis/Maguire/Rubinstein

i thought you were talking about Maguire/DeMatteis, but had to make sure you weren't referring to one of the "offshoot" books, like JLE or god knows what else. Although I have always been a Bart Sears fan.

 

Kevin Maguire has the best style of any artist that uses action figures as models IMHO. i kid. i dig Maguire, a lot, and was disappointed when he bailed on Justice League.

 

actually, his facial expressions are leagues better than most

Don't forget the Adam Hughes run also. I love reading the not so serious side of the Justice League. I was on board since the end of the Legends mini-series.

[Paladin]

I jumped on board with issue #4. It was great. I am a fan of the original creative team: Giffen/ DeMatteis/Maguire/Rubinstein.

 

It was a little odd seeing Sue. Wonder if they'll try and sneak in a "My you're looking dead this morning honey" from Ralph.

 

Good seeing a little variety in superhero comics.

I think Maguire's work is truly excellent and vastly underrated... his "facial expressions," as you put it, are nothing short of amazing!
