"What's wrong with JSA?
Oh, there's nothing "wrong" with it per se, but here it is a month later and I barely remember it. I asked Bob what he thought of #1 and he replied that he was "not that overwhelmed." Here is what I posted: "I was a bit…"

"I find it odd, from a 21st century perspective, that in Action Comics #20 the elderly male scientist had his mind transferred into the body of a beautiful, young female actress, apparently without a ripple of controversy. Heavens! Which public…"
"What's wrong with JSA? I'm not reading it, so I'm genuinely asking. If it was any good I might buy the trade.
Also, I read the first two issues of Space Western Comics in the Dark Horse collection (of the six total issues). It's genuinely bad, and…"

"I finished reading the DC Finest edition of Superman: The First Superhero today. At this point, Lois Lane and [editor George] Taylor are pretty much one-dimensional characters. Lois in particular is little more than a female co-worker who utterly…"

"Vassalo's introductions lean too heavily on plot summaries for my taste. I generally just skim them, or read them after I have read the stories (or both)."
"I read the intro to Atlas War Comics collection last night. My vision being what it is, my eyes were too pooped to continue into any of the actual comics. That's not Vassalo's fault, of course, but what is his fault (and his editors) is how…"

They're good fun. I think I'm scratching the itch I had as a kid when I couldn't afford those big lumps of colourful plastic that looked so cool in the ads.
Actually I'm downloading them as I just know I'm going to visit that site some day and see that they've been taken down...
If you happen to find out the creative credits for the different episodes and their publishing dates I'd be grateful for the info. I couldn't find them anywhere.
Here's a birthday present for you.
