Well, a bit late today, but still posted. We went to Mid-Ohio Comic Con today. It was pretty good. Not San Diego or C2E2 good, but we still managed to find lots to see and do. I really think, though, that I have to start remembering the artists whose work I really like, as well as the writers, so when we go to the cons I can know who to look for. But on to today's JLA.
This is part one of five. I am going to make sure that all of the five are in the JLA series, and if they are not, I am going to pull the others. I am tired of not getting the whole story!
After reading the first section, where one old man attacks another old man, I am assuming that Joe is General Glory, and Schmidt is an old Nazi nemesis. Joe hits the road. With my super-deductive power, I am going to bet that what he can't remember are the words that turn him into General Glory? Back to the book...
Now I am discovering how appropriate this book is for today. Guy goes to a comic book convention to buy the last known first issue of General Glory! I love how he talks about the geeks in costume, "You'd never catch me dressing up..." and then bypasses paying by using this power ring. Of course, he gets asked to autograph a copy of the JLI comic where he shares the cover with Lobo, before he got his own personality back. He didn't like that! And, it turns out, Guy is also an embezzler, as he "dips into" the JLA funds to buy General Glory #1. Bad Guy!
Of course, the old guy turns out to be General Glory, who just needed to see the comic book to know what the magic words were. And Guy gets to meet his hero.
