The constant rebooting that DC has done perhaps does make new readers better able to follow it for a few years, but one of the most attractive parts of the universes created by many at DC and Marvel is the sweep of history which invigorates them. Ignore that at your peril. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-48954299351197734222015-09-05T07:03:30.939-04:002015-09-05T07:03:30.939-04:00Pretty much my first JLofA comic was the first par...Pretty much my first JLofA comic was the first part of the Red Tornado debut which featured all Earth-2 characters and only the JLofA in the last panel. I immediately got it that the stars of the book lived on another world much like ours yet different from the one of the JSofA. It's an easy concept and once grasped the other Earths follow quickly enough. The complaint of confusion always seemed weak to me, an excuse to do away with characters the editors imagined were "too old" to enchant young readers. But then DC editors at the time thought their readership was made up of dumb kids. They were wrong and so deserved to be lorded over by Marvel for decades as a consequence.<br /><br />Rip Off Rip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-35660763186583281472015-09-05T06:24:58.281-04:002015-09-05T06:24:58.281-04:00Adventure Comics had been my fave DC mag up 't...Adventure Comics had been my fave DC mag up 'til Warlord came along, then All-Star joined Warlord at the top of my DC list...until the JSA wound up in Adventure after the DC Implosion, then Adventure re-joined Warlord. In other words, this JSA run was fab-amundo!

I was eight years old when I bought my first JLA adventure. It was the annual JLA/JSA team-up and not only did I figure it out pretty fast, I thought it was really cool. I loved the annual adventures that the two teams had, and when they started bringing in the other Earths, it was even better.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547751537787941998noreply@blogger.com
