For years I couldn't look at Maquires' work without getting those bad feelings. It's hard to explain why I feel so negatively about it. Yeah and that might a bit of the problem. They keep going back to the same thing only trying to go more and more over the top that they lose some of the spark that made their JLI run special.

But mostly for the Maguire artwork, which made everything so magical.<br /><br />I don't think that Giffen and DeMatteis can help themselves. They keep trying to recapture that lighting in a bottle moment, when they first unleashed the JLI upon the world. And I would LOVE it if they were able to do that again. But not at the expense of two beloved characters. <br /><br />So I am cautiously optimistic.<br /><br />Cautiously.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-5994511908608568862014-09-12T18:24:14.433-07:002014-09-12T18:24:14.433-07:00I don't plan to support it but I'm kinda t... I don't plan to support it but I'm kinda ticked nonetheless. If DC was really going to follow BG from pre-52 it should have been the one from JLGL. Not to mention this doesnt make sense given what we've seen. FKATJL/ICBINTJL just brings out such bad feelings for me I don't think I could stand it.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-79942571243376164882014-09-12T17:43:25.375-07:002014-09-12T17:43:25.375-07:00No, of course you don't, and you shouldn't...No, of course you don't, and you shouldn't.<br /><br />If I were in your place, I wouldn't pick up a single issue of JL3K. Supporting a character that you don't like will only encourage DC to expand on that character's role. If you're giving them money, they don't care if you like what they're giving you. Look at airlines and cable companies for examples of that principle at work.<br /><br />(Of course, I happen to enjoy ICBINTJL, so this news has me giddy. But I respect your stance. Just because I enjoy Giffen/DeMatteis' take on the character doesn't mean that I never see Johns/Jurgens' Booster Gold, Time Master again.)Boosterrifichttp://www.boosterrific.comnoreply@blogger.com
