Starman
Power Girl

Hourman
Mr Terrific
Flash
Wildcat
Hawkman (!)
Atom Smasher

Yay or nay?

 

[OA blaster]

when is this new team going to show up

 

[Dwarf lord]

Justice Society of America #1 hits stands December 6th

 

[Harlekin]

Yay.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I think that this roster is nearly perfect if you ask me.

 

[The Question]

Interesting. Looks like they have some holdovers from Kingdome Come. I'm not saying that I want KC to be the future of the DCU. But I did like alot of the characters.

 

[Apprentice]

I searched for Justice Society of America and that never came up! Oh well, this is more of an opinion thread anyway, rather than information.

 

[Harlekin]

The other thread is both.

 

[Sentry2005]

The other thread is both.

My thread is better than your thread!

 

[Apprentice]

The other thread is both.

Sh, ploise!

A cookie goes to anyone that gets that reference.

 

[WompuM]

This might have been said in the other thread... screw it. Where's GL's eye patch?

 

[jaydawg]

This is basically the JSA a year before with some new additions. So does that even qualify as a new JSA?

 

[Apprentice]

Since you said ''new additions'', then yeah, it qualifies. Besides, there are quite a lot of changes. It some respects, it's nothing like JSA a year before.

...they used BankGothic for the font on the table..they used a generic font for the title on the table...they used a relitively unknown font I used for letter head two years ago as the font on the table...WHY DID THEY USE AN OUTDATED FONT?!?!

WHY DID THEY USE A GENERIC ONE?!


THAT bugs me to no end....

Also Liberty Belle? You'd think Jesse would update the costume a bit.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Why does it matter that the font's old and recognizable?

 

[twylight]

I'm in the publication and design field and it frustrates me because I made a letterhead two years ago and used that font because then it was unique and modern.

Now I see it every freakin' day. The Miami Vice Preview.....bus station ads.....seeing it on artwork condoned by DC Comics is just the last straw.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe it's just a good font. Do you get this upset over the fact that nearly all comics use the same font for speech bubbles?

I didn't use the font in speech bubbles for a letterhead when it was a unique font.

....Which..why is it the same font but with different Letterers? What do the Letterer's do exactly?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think they basically tried to get the clearest, easiest-to-read font down, which turned out to be basic block letters in all their myriad variants.

Anyway, so this is a personal thing? Alex Ross somehow offended you because you got to the font first?

Why would they have a letterer anyway? Why not just type the dialogue in? Don't they have fancy computer programs they could use?

Yes, I guess it is personal. I started the trend, darn it!



Bad week...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought lettering was mostly computerized at this point. Calligraphy's basically a dead art.

 

[The Question]

Hey. What's with the ominous glowing eyes resonating from the all conceiling shadows?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Obsidian, I think.

 

[The Leaguer]

Yay, because it doesn't have Hal Jordan.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Alan Scott is and always will be the JSA's Green Lantern. Not even Johns would **** that up with his incorrigible Hal fanboyism.
