So DC editorial didn't fall asleep.<BR/><BR/>Dave, Gypsy was included in that team of Justice League ladies as well. Maybe you missed her because she turned invisible. She and J'onn were the only two permanent members of the mission-specific JLTF roster. <BR/><BR/>After three or four story arcs with that setup, the group became the Justice League "training team" with J'onn, Gypsy, Ray, Triumph, and Despero/LRON. Ah, the 90s...a time when Despero/LRON, Triumph, and Gypsy could be on a team.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, anyone who hasn't read the "Joan J'onzz" story should check it out. It's a lot of fun, makes some good use of underused characters (Dolphin, Vixen), and puts our man J'onn in an interesting situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1140110819205779832006-02-16T09:26:00.000-08:002006-02-16T09:26:00.000-08:00With all those snakes on the cover, you'd think I'...With all those snakes on the cover, you'd think I'd have caught the foreshadowed ending.<BR/><BR/>Paging Dr. Freud...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1140109580343765462006-02-16T09:06:00.000-08:002006-02-16T09:06:00.000-08:00Thats some beautiful shit.Thats some beautiful shit.NiolKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652937831485738140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1140083803587516152006-02-16T01:56:00.000-08:002006-02-16T01:56:00.000-08:00Speaking of Peter David I think it's a great trage...Speaking of Peter David I think it's a great tragedy that we never got a wacky gender swapping or cross dressing issue of Young Justice.Paul S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13522335321552647450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1140060793011784292006-02-15T19:33:00.000-08:002006-02-15T19:33:00.000-08:00J'onn must have been thinking some lines from the ...J'onn must have been thinking some lines from the great bard Ton Loc:<BR/><BR/><I>I don't fool around with no Oscar Meyer wiener <BR/>you must be sure that the girl is pure for the funky cold medina <BR/><BR/>you know, <BR/>ain't no plans with a man, <BR/>this is the 80s and I'm down the ladies </I><BR/><BR/>Amen, brother.
