Not the face of someone who woke up early but instead has been staying up the entire night
Some casual vague racism (the fuck does "ethnic infighting" mean?)
Max pulls heroes out of his ass like a magician does rabbits
Not the "geriatric league" (starting a collection with Booster saying "What are we, the yuppie leaguge?")
Where's J'onn?
Nice hair
Jay really said "y'all a bunch of nobodies without thr league, lmao"
TORA LORE????
Diana being sweet <33333
CAN DREAMSLAYER GO AWAYYYYYY
Ted contemplative depression arc? (20 minutes to get out of bed......) Booster got his back </3
Ted.... not the family....dying of old age.....
Tora lore???? I'm locking in...
issue #80
Glad that misogynistic comment wasn't just shitty Booster writing for the sake of it / it was called out as such.
Aww :')
Can Tora's brother go awayyy. Good on Olaf for going #woke
Is Guy just written to be more obnoxious `just cause or is he acting like this bc he misses Tora?
Had the same reaction
Guy's backhanded "welcome back" lol
(the past few issues have had some speech-bubble mistakes, is that on the letterer or who?)
Nate?? The events around his death are really fucking muddy for me ngl. He returned pretty damn quickly.
why's he working for the governmeeeent (i guess he still considers everyone friends buttttt)
why's this expression so damn funny 💀
Me when my friend asks where we should do our shopping and I suggest IKEA bc i haven't eaten their meatballs for forever (the Finnish blood in me is dealing me internal damage for wanting to give money to a Swedish corpo)
issue #81
Love when they use the word goon. It's a great word in it's original meaning
Max really put his opinion of Guy into really beautiful words. <3
(Funny sequence in general with booster n stuff). But more importantly - Max. Max, what are you walking around with that snatched waist for? Hm? For a man to grab it? Maybe a manhunter? One that is a martian? Hmmm? 🤨 (Srsly, where did J'onn go after they got the gem out of him??) ((checked some reading chronology list and did he just f off to Task Force?))
Hello comic book character Bill Clinton
Of course Max tries to talk Nate into rejoining the team 😭
Oh these alien dudes suck. Burn his nuts off!!!
Guy just killed that mf???????! (gonna have to start on his solo stuff)
annual #7 in his gap
Working as a team for the first time since forever
Max does out-smarm Booster. (really nice panel composition)
funny stuff. (>live booster gold reaction)
But also,,,, the implication that ted's insdeed actively not getting back to beetling?
Where does Max pulls these people?????
Waiter waiter, throttle that yuppie some more!! Don't wring his neck tho haha You can't convince me Max isn't a little bit into that? (Maxima's canon height being 6'2 my ass).
He is like 40
Overworked stressed out Tedddddd, waiter waiter - more buttery lobster for meeee
Incredible whiplash to the main book, lol.
I do love how WW just sees through Guy's bullshit/doesn't let it distract her when "dealing" with Guy. (But mostly due to her respecting Tora's word <3) Copared to: Superman's method was "not stooping to his level". Batman indluged him (one punch) or otherwise met him with equal temper. J'onn mostly ignored his ragebait.
Continuing #83
Boostle fight <3 (Herolife is everything for Booster, and that clashing with Ted's newfound sense of mortality and lack of drive and exhaustion and....)
"Don't you start in on me too. Don't you start making me feel like i'm crazy.)
Everyone teaming up to take down Guy and succeeding. >Max: "Oughh i'll have to do so much damage-control.....😩"
welll oookay, lmao, I'll suppose i'll catch up with GG (Warrior) finally :D
Someone give Mark Waid a medal. Or at least a certificate.
Things I love:
Booster on a farm. Listen to me: I have no issue seeing the man actually go full farmer someday precisely because there were no farms (or much of anything) when he grew up. At least in some timelines. >.>
J'onn and Booster talking, because like-- I don't think anyone outside the original JLI could have this conversation with him. And if anyone could see right through his masking here, of course it would be J'onn.
"The hell I don't," which is the most in-character shit, omg. The man's a tall stack of trust issues in a trenchcoat powersuit. Somehow someone who's not Tom Taylor managed to nail that down with four words. Fan-fucking-tastic.
Firestorm fight just reminded me of what we could've had in DCKO:
Guy being cool and competent?? I suppose his solo run just started.
Love how extra Bloodwynd, who i found out is J'onn, is with the cape~ Everyone's deisngs are pretty neat. Not too 90s with Jurgen's art style.
Oh yeah I don't go there (GL comics) yet but this alt sinestro having the willpower to escape insane amounts of torture n shit is pretty cool. I feel bad for the dude. He's just being pink and mustache:y.
Guy using the nickname "Bloody"
Oh snap, the alternate MM (+ others)!
I've only read the beginning of first Sandman book. Isn't this that one villain who had one of Dream's items? Neat continuity.
What if i served aura and didn't tell the rest of the team?
Hey, it's the panel. (Why are both Booster and Bea barely wearing anything/gym fits??)
Is the destiny/dream dude gonna be the reason Ted gets out of the coma?
J'onn is officially back (with a cool gem).
Ray is still calling Guy "Mister Gardner", aww :')
Is J'onn tripping because they're in, like, another plane of existence?
"No way Jose" get a load of this nerd
Ted coming in with the exposition, like the smartypants he is :D
Love how fast Booster goes from "It worked!" to "J'onn!" to "Ted!" (the Jurgens-approved height difference is insane)
Ohhh, Ted figured out J'onn in the middle of fighting Doomsday
I like the pants but the shoes clash heavily.
Ted woke from his coma and all he's done since is be a little stinky bug instead of showering. ohmygodbruh - you were in a coma for a while!!!!
Bloodwynd's bs is metal as hell
He was very whimsical, after all he'd just had a nice date with Max.
Any and all housings they have lived in count. Even the ones in your mind if you explain yourself well enough. Provide lodging examples if from comics, thank you. This is very important to me

JLA #71: I said it before, i'll say it again: loving booster's 90s mullet
Guy calling Max by last name, huh. Idk the writing decisions with the names used but I suppose Guy calls him "Lord" a lot
He would've requited Lobo in this bitch :D (when did they become friends? man, i gotta get into Guy's comics. And J'onn's and Scott's too. I might take a look at some their their runs from this era while i continue reading this)
Guy, don't threathen the teenager for jokes. Why are you such a menace.
Go off Bea! shut up Booster's greedy ass! (also, i was not expecting continuation to that this Booster scheme. Bea did say she was gonna make Booster pay for this.)
Skeets!!!?
Yeah... all he really has, & actually wants to do, is hero work.
WW!
Diana can actually manage Guy. awesome.
D:
I do get Tora. She's hurting, she was there when supes died, and you can't really force someone with superpowers to work in superhero business.
But this is just kind of melancoly. :( Not saying goodbye to Guy herself, damn
note from myself in the future: i did not know i was about to read a story arc called "Death of Superman" :D
I've gotten some spoilers: ain't this the one where Ted gets put into a coma?
gotta say: I really enjoy watching Superheroes actually save people, not just fight bad guys. Started watching the 90s BtAS recently and it was so refreshing to see a version of Batman going out of his way to save & look after individual people (not just masses). So much of his stuff (adaptations) focuses on him 1v1:ing bad guys.
Also, idk jack about Doomsday but the design goes hard!
The Bug getting absolutely shredded in such violent way, sheesh
Idk at what point Guy managed to fumble Tora/they broke up (i remember that one moment before he dipped & left Tora to cry in her room alone instead of comforting her, like???? I suppose with Clark joining the team n all???), but he still gives priority to her. (I mean, he better.)
Idk how the yellow ring works exactly (something with fear). I'm assuming Guy is gonna be a bit nerfed compared to his willpower juices?
Yeahhh, Guy please don't go acquiring more headtrauma
ooooh no... (i like the juxaposition n the way we're jumping between the chill Superman interview where he's talking about his team to the mentioned members getting beat up)
D: (i wonder if the writers and artists have fun creating comic moments like these? Are they angst/hurt-no-comfort enjoyers?)
There's something about watching non-powered superheroes get hurt in a (more or less) "realistic" way. (Talking more so about Ted here - i trust that Booster's future-suit is sturdy enough)
(yupp, forcefield safe, wiewh)
// Ooh, Jurgen's art so fucking good, gotta mention. Booster looks very striking
#70: Thank you Tora for not letting Ted die - you can always be trusted <3
Ohhhh fuck !!!!! I'm worried for her D:::
(this entire post is turning into a JLA beatdown compilation)
!! ??????? ouchouchouch please be okay
Shoutout to Guy fr: he has such strong fighting spirit, well... willpower, even when absolutely beat-up. No clue why the corps canned him/what's the GL drama, but they lost a really good GL there.
uijuijui... my boy.....
Tora might be alive since they haven't said anything/draggin her body..?
NEVERMIND now there's fire everywhere!!!!
This entire arc would go hard as an animated movie. (A/N from the future: does she know?)
That's gotta be difficult af for Clark. :'( Trolley problems allround.
Bloodwynd clutch!
I like the detail of Clark telling the paramedics to contact Max for everyone's medical records. Details like this showing that the characters are actually thinking ahead/seeing a wider picture>>> another example in the previous issue where Ted was concerned about the falling/broken pieces of the Bug possibly hurting civilians.
SUPERMAN FUCKING DIES????????
I love such empathic characters like Tora. Damn.
Ok so i'm slightly emotionally wulnerable (shed a tear for Lois mourning Clark) but i'm also very distracted by Booster. He had time to get a soda but not clothes, please! Your bff is in a coma, go put on a shirt!!!
:( Every hero gathering at the New York embassy, cause it's the best base of operations as any, is a bit corny but sweet (Bruce swinging in with the "We had a rather unique relationship" - uhhuh)
He feels so guilty...
(this is already making me sad, idk how i'm gonna handle the real deal) They really ended the issue with this. //
Man of Steel (1991) #20:
I'm not too invested in Supes's death since he'll be back, but the reactions from loved ones are really heartbreaking. Like, his parents not being able to attend the funeral, fuck man… :(
Pretty sure that's the league carrying the cascet, minus Ted, which makes sense. JLI should be getting more respect for fighting Doomsday. (Googled and apparently there are more than one animated adaptation of Doomsday but instead of JLI it's the other guys. 😐 Also got got spoiled who Bloodwynd is, so ggs.)
Obviously Clark's hero friends/allies are there too, so at least some of his friends get to properly (more or less) pay respects.
fUcking hell i actually sobbed my eyes out at this. - they didn't have a body to bury, so it's childhood trinkets they're burying in a small box, paralleling burying a baby sized casket; emphasizing that it's their child, forever a parents' baby, that they're saying saying goodbye to. Fucking hell, these panels make me genuinely really fucking emotional. //
Things from # "The Life and Death of the Man of steel"
Jimmy: "Whenever I think of him, I always picture him flying." :(
Get behind me Guy! (altho' pretty sure this era Guy, like, hates the homeless as seen in like, a quarterly 😭). - Alan Scott mention :D
Worldbuilding like the LEXOIL promotinal material is rly cool. This Luthor II dude seems like a good guy, idk the lore.
Had to look this up: They were fighting in Ohio and Pittsburgh is in a neighbour state, close the border, but not too close. Booster got flown at least 50km. Also, he got his penith head smashed in a fucking car door, no wonder his memory gives out on the event.
"Without the suit, I'm just another ex-quarterback" ......
/
"...he did what he had to do. You gotta respect a man like that." & "Yeah, I'm tough and I heal real good" - Is there a lore reason why Guy heals fast?
o7 (one thing i like about Clark is his slice-of-life human side: idrc about him fighting strong dudes, i just find superhumans/special people living normal lives, having hobbies and shit, compelling conceptually.)
