Just Finished Reading "Justice League: the Tornado's Path"

I just about blew a load. Brad Meltzer is a fucking god. I fell in love with him when I read "Identity Crisis", but "Path" was even better. I can't WAIT for the "Lightning Saga". I haven't picked up a comic in over 10 years, but this guy grew up with MY Justice League, and it feels like he's writing it just for me. I honestly don't know what's better: Meltzer on JLA, or Joss Whedon's work on Astonishing X-Men.

I keep trying to get out, but they keep pulling me back in!

1. Really? I thought it was some of his worst work.

Didn't find the Tornado's path story compelling at all.

Whedon's stuff on Astonishing is indeed awesome though.

2. I'm a Sucker for the Red Tornado

He was always one of my favorites. Once I got past the admitted nonsense that Reddy would have his powers in a human body, I was sold. The story just about broke my heart!

I'll admit, though, that my favorite parts were the Big Three voting on new leaguers. I also really enjoyed the way Vixen was written; she's a character I never cared for in the past.

3. Yeah, I did like the interplay between the big three

That's really the meat of any Justice League story anyway. Wish there had been more of it.

4. Boy, I'm sure enjoying Dwayne McDuffie's first arc!

The new Injustice League is whipping UP on the JLA!
