[Darthphere]

Im picking all of these mofo's up. Connor Hawke looks gangsta, and theres no denying Vixen on the JLofA.


Return of Bizarro? Didnt we just see him and Batzarro in S/B?

 

[Binker]

"heartbreaking"? Oh no, don't tell me he's gonna break them up. NO!

 

[hippie_hunter]

Ugh, Vixen is joining the Justice League of America.

 

[Binker]

Doesn't everyone love Vixen? I always heard that.

 

[Darthphere]

If theres anyone that can make Supergirl unsuck its Gail Simone, but I dont want her on BOP.

 

[Darthphere]

Binker, WTF?

 

[hippie_hunter]

Batman...awesome
Superman...awesome
Wonder Woman...awesome
Hal Jordan...awesome
Green Arrow...awesome
Red Tornado...awesome
Hawkgirl...not awesome
Vixen...not awesome

 

[Darthphere]

I dont know, if DC is going to bring everyone from JLU into the comics im waiting for my Vigilante/Shining Knight Limited series "Have at thee!"

 

[Darthphere]

Hippie, I just dont buy most of this line-up. Like really, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman sat there and out of everyone deicded Vixen is perfect for the JLA!

 

[Mister J]

Red Tornado’s gone walkabout

Tornado Dundee? Seriously, what's going on with RT?

I'm iffy on the Guy mini, but everything else there looks pretty good. The re-organization of the BoP roster should be interesting.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Hippie, I just dont buy most of this line-up. Like really, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman sat there and out of everyone deicded Vixen is perfect for the JLA!

Haven't I already said my distaste for Hawkgirl and Vixen joining the JLA.

If you want females who are League worthy. Get Wonder Woman (who already is in the new League), Zatanna, and Black Canary

 

[Binker]

Binker, WTF?

...what?...WHAT?!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

**** all you guys, Vixen rules. I'm looking forward to her being on the JLofA which, in turn, is making me look forward to JLofA itself more than anything else I've seen about it so far. The trinity on the JLA? Wow, what a shocker. Red Tornado? Gee, he figured into the satellite era heavily so it's no surprise Meltzer's bringing him back, even though his sole purpose for the better part of the last decade has been to explode gratuitously at every turn. Hawkgirl sucks. The archer may be Connor (which would rule) or Ollie (which would suck), so I'm ambivalent there. No clue on who the others on that silhouette cover are yet, either. But Vixen? **** yes, bring her on.

 

[Mister J]

The Tantu Totem rules all!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, it does. Now if only Vixen would wise up and stop wearing it right out in plain view for any old villain to snatch off her neck, it would rule even more.

 

[Darthphere]

I love Vixen but not on JLA.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Have Vixen and Power Girl join the Birds of Prey

 

[Speedball]

The origin of the Joker?
Finally!!!

 

[Mister J]

I like Vixen on the new Birds. Maybe Kate Spencer too.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I love Vixen but not on JLA.

Because?

 

[Darthphere]

Because?

There are about 20 other people that should be on JLA other than her.

 

[gildea]

well I guess the bulleteer survives seven soldiers...

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

I love Vixen from JLU, this JLofA roster could be kickass. I hope oliver comes back on the team, i like his wittiness.


and the rest are all kickass, except for guy gardner mini, im iffy on that one.

 

[Darthphere]

Also, Martian Mahunter, a JLA mainstay cant be on the team but Vixen is? WTF?!


EDIT: And its really just not Vixen, the rest of the line-up or what seems to be is unimpressive as well.
