Fun Times with the Super Buddies

So some people were talking about old Max who I loved a lot. So I decided I'd post some scans mainly Max-centric from Formerly Known as the Justice League.

From Formerly Known as the Justice League #1 Max wants to get the old team together so the first one he tracks down that lovable robot L-Ron.

Max and L-Ron manage to convince, bribe, and manipulate them all into joining with Mary Marvel in her brothers place.

In Formerly Known as the Justice League #2 all the gangs together. Aw.

In Formerly Known as the Justice League #3 the team, except Max, L-Ron and Sue, gets kidnapped so Sue goes on a website to try to figure out who did it...

In Formerly Known as the Justice League #4 The team are taken to a fighting ring where Mary beats Captain Atom within an inch of his life, but they all break out. What could happen next you ask? Not an alien invasion certainly...

In Formerly Known as the Justice League #5 Manga Khan sends his robot J-Lo to go get L-Ron and bring him back. But they do have something to offer them in return...

There is always someone watching

I do like how the JLI seems to make Batman happy :)

Next in Formerly Known as the Justice League #6 first more batman funnies

Then Ted and Booster fight, and Booster goes to hit Ted who moves out of the way and so he hits a robot who knocks the rest of Manga Khan's robots down like dominoes...

And they all lived happily ever after? . . . :(

	So wonderful, and then they have to have Meltzer ruin everything, like a kid kicking over a sand castle. Screaming "It wasn't a castle! You couldn't live in it! It was ALL LIES!" and laughing. That's what IDENTITY CRISIS was to me. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX If there was an emoticon between a grin and a sorrowful weep, I'd be emoticonnng it SO hard right now. Seriously, how? How could people just ruin a character like this? What joyless people really think he's better off as an eeeeeeeeeevil mastermind with X-TREME mind control powers? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Here's a question: If Max wiped himself of all evil deeds, in addition to the public, would he be a viable character again? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	It is slightly interesting to reread all his interactions as an evil evil man who is terrified (and somehow envious) of superheroes. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I am in love with Kevin Maguire's ability to draw facial expressions so well. But it's also hilarious that you don't see Batman's face at all in these scans. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 8 comments) (Show 8 comments)

	I heart Kevin Maguire nefrekeptah 2010-04-19 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Keven Maguire could draw an entire issue of nothing but talking heads, and it would be more dynamic, fun, and entertaining than half the comics on the stands right now. He doesn't even exaggerate features like in anime, his drawings are all very lifelike! (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Nice touch how you can't see Batman's face. Even though he is (totally not) cracking jokes he still maintains a strange, shadowy aloofness from the other characters. FUN. Must buy this. (Reply to this)

	This is all glorious. However, does anyone have the scene where Boostle hide the chocos and J'onn finds out? Even though he's barely in it, that's probably my favourite Max scene. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	I think that's been posted. But that's actually not Giffen/Dematteis, but rather Ostrander imitating them (in MM 24.) (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I think my favorite Max scene from Superbuddies is when he's talking about beating up that one guy and Sue tells him he hits like a girl and after her comment sinks in the panel of Max being all "I DO NOT HIT LIKE A GIRL" is like... my favorite thing ever and I don't really know why. /ramble (Reply to this)

	I totally agree. I think Real Max and Sue had a LOT of funny moments together xD I liked that "Mr. Terrific" "Yes?" "Not you!" They had a lot of cute moments. :D (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Wouldn't it be nice if Max pushed his power so far over the limit to make the whole world forget that he was EBIL that it also worked on himself? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	LOVED this book. My personal theory was that Robot-Max tried to clone himself a human body, and things went TERRIBLY WRONG. Therefore you can have EBIL Max and good cyborg Max in the same universe. (Reply to this)

	You know, it IS possible that the current Max actually IS innocent of the crimes that he was accused of. I mean, he still seems to THINK of himself as the relatively decent guy he is here, and there are certainly enough mindworms and whatnot infesting the DCU that he could've been doing it against his will. I'm just sayin'. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)
