Crazy Starman irritates me. He's such an easy character. Of course he's going to be hilarious--he's crazy. Crazy = hilarity. Beyond the crazy, there's absolutely nothing to the character, though. It feels like Johns inserted him into the series for cheap, easy laughs.
Anyway, Sand rocked in this week's JSA. I really wish we could see more of him. He's easily the most interesting character on the JSA at this point, but Johns seems determined to keep him out of the spotlight as much as possible. I don't understand it. Why do I have to read about stupid Cyclone and Wildcat's *****ebag kid and angsty, emo, "oh my once-purty face is so ugly and scarred now so I hate the world" Damage and still more about ****ing goddamned Stargirl, whom Johns has to devote at least a page to in every mother****ing issue, while Sandman goes to waste in the background? I wish they'd just pare the JSA down to Alan, Jay, Wildcat, Sand, Mr. Terrific, Dr. Mid-Nite, Hourman, Liberty Belle, Cyclone, and Power Girl, get Manhunter on the team, and go from there.
