Justice Society of America: 80-Page Giant 2010 #1

[flint_marko]

This is from Justice Society of America: 80-Page Giant 2010 #1, by Marc Andreyko,  Mike Norton, and Bill Sienkiewicz.





Obsidian recounts his history up to the "Prince of Darkness" storyline.




After stuttering, Mrs. Stoops asks about his sister, who's his only letter of reference. Todd says that she couldn't be there today, but points outside the window where Alan Scott and the rest of the JSA are. Alan tells her that Damon and Todd have the fullest support and recommendation of the Justice Society of America, and that they will make wonderful parents.



The rest of the JSA wait outside.

I actually liked this ish. Not this story, not Ted's story, but most of the others were pretty cool, and I'm usually annoyed at feel-good, just another old-school super-hero story, the kind we don't get anymore. So, yeah.

Oh you, you beat me to it!

I loved that story, it's the first time we actually see Damon outside the Manhunter, I'm glad they are not only together but wanting to adopt. And we finally got a bit of a background story of how they met.

Anyway, while I love that scene when JSA showed up (bless you boys for trying go appear badass but this is neither time nor place) they should have just bring Superman. Still, if Green Lantern says you can adopt you CAN adopt. No respect for the elders these days...

Dude needs to come up with a cover story, something that actually sounds like it makes money.

Honestly, I can understand turning them down for adoption. I love and adore Obsidian, but being a super-hero isn't a really stable lifestyle, even when you're frikkin Superman. Given Obsidian's considerably more checkered history, I'd be reluctant to place a kid with him and his partner too.

LMFAO I love these two :(

With all the orphaned kids showing up in the Batbooks this past decade...Spoiler's kid, Helena Kyle, Damian, Sin, Misfit...you'd think the super-hero community would work out their own intra-team adoption scheme for this kind of thing.

D'aw!

*could maybe be convinced to get the hackles down long enough to buy ONE DC book*

I feel like it's very important that Todd loses the undies a la Hal Jordan ASAP.

Sienkiewicz has a cool scratchy style. I like the leather jacket look on Todd.

Don't we know that in the future they do get a daughter they name after Jade (of course since that was a flash foward in a not much read cancelled title when Jenni was "dead" it may not count)?

Also (since I haven't read it) did they deal with Todd's Catholic faith? It was a big part of his life in Infinity Inc. and got him through his abusive upbringing, it would be just too predictable if he was just to drop it altogether with no qualms when he "came out" (especially since there are many Catholic Gay groups out there in reality).

XD It somehow amuses me that he goes all I'M A SUPERHERO immediately, usually that isn't a good idea with generally anything.

But awwwww that's sweet. The lady is right, in any case. Still, I'm hoping they WILL get a kid one day.

"That never stops being hot" was lolarious. And pretty cute. Aww. XD
