Justice League International, Part Zero Out of ??? (Legends #6)
Sep. 3rd, 2025 11:59 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_dailyHere begins a series of posts about the Giffen-DeMatteis Justice League, a five-year exercise that was phenomenally successful and with which DC Comics has had an "it's complicated" relationship ever since.
I'll be especially chatty in the first two installments, but I'll let the comics do more of the talking eventually.
( I said MORE of the talking, not ALL of the talking. I know my limitations. )

I think that there's nothing wrong with being influenced by comics primarily, but it can lead to a little bit of an incestuous thing where the ideas are constantly recycled and kind of the same thing over and over again. And I think, especially with something like The Ultimates and the Absolute Universe, you really want to be drawing not just from other works of art, and other types of stories, but also from life. -- Deniz Camp

JLI 12: the sordid saga of Max Lord
Sep. 2nd, 2025 05:34 amknight_moves posting in scans_dailyHaving recently done a read-through of JLI/JLE, it's struck me that Max Lord is so deeply mischaracterized by modern fandom that even the corrective "he's not a villain!" takes are highly flawed. Take an article about the new iteration of the character sponsoring the Justice Gang in James Gunn's new cinematic universe. The original Lord is said to be "get-rich-quick-scheming" and "originally portrayed as a sleazy, if not particularly cunning businessman who sought to make a name for himself – and a dollar – by uniting and subsequently directing the titular team."

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Sep. 2nd, 2025 08:51 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
Florida's new detainment centre, nicknamed "Alligator Alctraz" has been ordered closed by a Federal Judge after action by the Miccosukee Nation and environmental groups costing the State $218M without any actual return.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds gave us "Four and a Half Vulcans" a decidedly weird episode which managed to to be stunningly racist and, bizarrely, only a couple of episodes after one where Spock confessing how he was so traumatised by his Vulcan peers mocking him over his human heritage that he self-harmed, has the pseudo-Vulcan crewmembers give him the same treatment, and it's played for laughs. Managed to hit a great many wrong notes and very few right ones, IMHO.
In my attempt to catch up on movies, I've watched both "The Wild Robot" which was perhaps predictable, but beautiful to look at and thoroughly enjoyable (though I've never read the original books so wonder if they pulled a "How to Train Your Dragon" with it) and "Flow" which was breathtaking (Some bits did look rather like levels of a video game but I was literally entranced throughout)
