Well hey, it's the Fourth of July!  Happy Birthday America!

Now, last year we were able to sidestep the whole patriotic angle by discussing, er, a Marvel Comics mutant with powers not unlike fireworks... but this time around we're gonna go full red, white and blue.

I ask ya, what better way to celebrate the United States of America than by checking out an issue of Freedom Fighters?  Well, howsabout the DC Comics Bicentennial Month issue of Freedom Fighters?

--

We open with the heroes holed up in a deserted mansion.  The police have them surrounded and consider them fugitives from the law... we'll get there.  Inside, the Freedom Fighters decide their best course of action to escape the police is... er, escaping the police.  Good call, folks!  The Ray hurls some light blobs at the police spotlight, and they get away.  After they're gone, an officer notices that District Attorney Pearson is there... and the D.A. is to blame for "those freaks" being there.  Weird, I thought the FF were on DC Earth (one) right now... why not call in some other super-types to take them down?

Well, let's not worry about that... instead, let's head to the suburbs and meet Arthur T. Sommar, doting father and homicidal husband.  If I had to guess, I'd say his name is some sort of anagram... it's just too weird.  A quick anagram check reveals things like Ham Tart Rumors, Harm Rat Tumors, Ram Roast Thrum, and Smart Art Humor... it's, er... probably one of those, right?  The issue thankfully informs us that his friends call him "Ted"... presumably his middle name?  Eh?  Who knows...

Let's turn the page and meet Mrs. Tart Rumors, who is doing the dishes while humming some grindstep beat box.  This upsets Ted... so, he creeps up behind her, and bashes her head in with his briefcase!  Must'a been a Halliburton.

We rejoin the Freedom Fighters, who are now hiding out in an abandoned loft.  Uncle Sam questions why they ever left Earth-X... which, I dunno... seems like a silly question.  Gotta figure "our" Earth might be a little bit better than one under Hitler's Reich, right?  Phantom Lady suggests they just keep their cool and put their heroic alter-egos on the shelf for a bit.  Doll Man's all "not so fast", and (somehow) produces WANTED posters for each member of the FF... in and out of costume!  Ya see, they spilled all the beans to that District Attorney Pearson when they arrived on Earth-1.

While the team frets, Ray is busy turning scraps of metal garbage into a power transfusion machine.  He has a plan which involves he and Phantom Lady use the machine to mix their powers... Happy (Ray) can absorb light, and Sandy (Phantom Lady) can, well, become a phantom.  With their powers combined, they can cloak the entire team in invisibility.  Suuuure, stands to reason... I guess.  A-hem.

As luck would have it, just as our pals go transparent, some balaclava-clad roller skate-wearing goofballs are robbing a... sporting goods store?  The Freedom Fighters easily take down the geeks... because, ya know, a) they're invisible and b) c'mon look at these bad guys.  As the fight winds down, we are joined by our suburban psychopath, Ted!

At this point we shift to some Qwardian observers... they are able to see through the Freedom Fighters' invisibility trick.  They are displeased to see these colorful creeps spoiling the fun of the "noble thieves", and decide to even the odds by providing them with a "Straser" (strafing laser unit to us plebs).  They blast ol' Ted with a beam... which leaves him covered in, I dunno goo, or perhaps frost... anyhoo, he transforms into (the iconic) Skragg, the Super-Sniper! 

Skragg plugs his arm stumps in and flies upward on his goblin-glider where he begins decimating the New York City skyline.  Nearby, Uncle Sam thinks the boomings might be the result of his partner, the Human Bomb... but, nope!

The Freedom Fighters head back out to take down this new threat... and do so, pretty easily.  Worth mentioning (I guess) that Phantom Lady has vanished (pun!), as has Doll Man.  The remaining Fighters just write them off as being elsewhere together.  During the fight, however, Doll Man is not only present but instrumental in Skragg's defeat.

After being taken into custody, Skragg seems to waver between his Qwardian-effected persona, and his normal (homicidal?) one.  He freaks out that he no longer has hands... which, yeah... that sounds like something that would happen.  Uncle Sam proceeds to... read him his Miranda rights, welp, wasn't expecting that.  Skragg says he knows his rights, because ol' Ted's a lawyer.  He requests his phone call... and it's granted.  We get a neat panel of him dialing a phone with his wrist-turrets, before he is taken over by psychopathy.

Skragg starts blasting with his wrist-blasters, and the fight is back on.  It's just another fight... the only thing worth mentioning is Black Condor and Uncle Sam procuring a billboard with a... weird slogan on it.

The fight ends with Skragg hanging on to the side of a skyscraper.  He begs the FF for help, and Ray attempts to lend a hand... unfortunately, during the act his hand goes all "phantomy", a residual effect of the earlier power transfusion.  Skragg falls, presumably to his death.  After all, it's been over forty years, and we haven't seen him since.  Maybe he's still falling?

The issue ends with the gang back at their hideout, listlessly looking at their WANTED posters and wondering what their place in this world is.  Oh yeah, Phantom Lady also returns... having been buried under rubble for the second half of the issue, and had to dig herself out.  Now, who ever said chivalry is dead?

--

Well... that sure was an issue of Freedom Fighters.  It wasn't bad or anything... just kinda boring.  It looked nice though!

Really not a whole lot to say about this one.  I could ask why the police didn't call in any of DC's heroes to try and take down the Fugitive Freedom Fighters, but the next issue blurb promises that Wonder Woman's going to show up... so, perhaps after this mix-up, they do?

I wonder why so much went into Arthur/Ted's backstory.  I mean, if the Qwardians were just going to transform a random passerby into Skragg, why did we need to know that dude is homicidal?  Why did we need the scene of him bludgeoning his wife to death?  Seems like they might've had bigger plans for ol' Mr. Sommar... hell, even the cover copy tells us we've never seen a villain as deadly as he is!  Weird.

The members of the Freedom Fighters don't come across as terribly engaging... though, to be fair, this really wasn't a character spotlight sort of issue.  I think I can say that Uncle Sam's a pretty annoying character though.  All those tarnations and consarnits... and wanting to go back to Earth-X... ay yai yai.  That's something I can't wrap my head around... ya gotta figure most any Earth would be better than Earth-X, right?

Overall, to wrap up... this is an issue that sorta feels like filler... it's not stunningly great or painfully awful... it just "is".  Ramona Fradon's art is wonderful, her faces look pretty amazing.  Not an issue I'd tell ya to rush out and find... or avoid if you come across it.  It's books like this that are the hardest to discuss... just so middle-of-the-road, safe and inoffensive.

Anyhoo, I hope y'all have a great day of barbecues, family and fireworks.  Tomorrow's forecast is... brr, chilly.

Having a lot of fun "launching" new Justice-teams... so, why not another?

--

We open in a sewer where a young man is being pursued by a man in the shadows.  As he draws nearer, it looks as though he is stepping over the bodies of superheroes, including a Green Lantern... all likely summoned by the boy we're about to meet.  Now cornered, we learn this boy is... Kid Eternity!  He tries to whip up some assistance, however before he can utter "Eternity", he is killed.  The shadowy individual walks off.

We shift scenes to a strange landscape where Sandman and Sandy the Golden Boy are fighting Monster Society of Evil member, Ramulus.  Sandy is wrapped up in vines, and can't help but think something is quite wrong here.  Just then, Sandman... the other one, ya know, him... shows up.  As Sandy attempts to communicate, Wesley turns to literal sand.  At this point Sandy is awoken from this dream by a ringing phone... and he already knows who it is.

It's Speed Saunders, and he has dire news... Wesley Dodds, the original Sandman, has died.  We move ahead to Wes's funeral... Sand is preparing to give the eulogy, and Starman (Jack Knight) arrives just in the nick of time.  He has a chat with Wildcat about superhero deaths, and it looks like Ted's made his peace with the fact that one'a these days, he'll go down for the final ten-count.  We also learn that this graveyard is referred to as "Valhalla" on a count of all the heroes who were laid to rest here.

We get some expositional introductions for the mourners here too.  Of course there's Alan and Jay, it's difficult to consider the Golden Agers getting together without the two of them.  There's also Johnny Thunder who has been stricken with Alzheimer's Disease.  Hippolyta, who served in the Justice Society as Wonder Woman under the post-Crisis rules is also present.  Ted comments that she's immortal, so they don't have to worry about having to attend her funeral anytime soon.  Try four years, pal.

Also present are Jack's father, the original Starman (and not the star of Too Close for Comfort) Ted Knight, the new Star-Spangled Kid Courtney Whitmore (who Jack thinks is a pain in the butt), Hourman (the android version), the former Nuklon, and Black Canary.

Jack works his way over to Alan Scott and asks how his kids are doing.  In a neat bit, he actually calls Jade by the wrong name... Alan corrects him.  I nice way to show that while these folks all know each other, they still don't... ya know, know each other.  Alan says Jade is resting after doing a tour of duty as Green Lantern, while Obsidian is... well, he ain't sure as they kinda lost touch.  This leads us to shift to a restaurant where Todd (Obsidian) is chatting with someone calling themselves "Ian" about "letting go" of his power.  When a waitress overhears and asks who joined him, we see that he's alone in the booth... however, one side of it is bathed in shadow.

The eulogy continues, and Jay thinks he's seen something.  For a brief moment, Kent Nelson, Dr. Fate appears... then vanishes.

Sandy's speech is interrupted by allegations that Wesley didn't pass of natural causes... he was murdered!  The heroes turn and see, hanging off the tombstone of Red Bee... Fate!  Yeah Jared Stevens, that really annoying "hip" version of Dr. Fate from the 1990's who wanted to know what wine went best with Taco Bell.  He claims Sandman was murdered... and they murdered him too!  He slumps over revealing he'd been stabbed in the back by a dagger.  His final words are "Dark Lord".

The heroes gather around and try to wrap their heads around what they'd just seen.  Alan positively identifies all of the ankh-gear as being legit.  Jay is just about to offer his Fate-al vision from earlier when... the Earth starts to shake, and from it spring an army of mummy warriors!  I thought this cemetery was full of dead heroes... not mummies!

A fight breaks out... no duh.  Alan Scott tells them to go "all out" since these are just mummies.  During the battle, we learn that the former Nuklon ain't Nuklon no more... instead he is Atom-Smasher in reverence to his grandfather, the original Atom, Al Pratt!  That'd kinda be like Damien Wayne taking the title "Bat-Squisher" to honor Bruce, right?

Elsewhere, Ted Knight has pulled Courtney out of harms way... or so he thought.  A mummy creature lurks in the trees nearby, and so the Star-Spangled Kid fries it with a star blast.  She says Ted can buy her a Backstreet Boys CD to call it even.  I'm not sure if I should go with a "What's a Backstreet Boy?" joke or a "What's a CD" joke... so, I'll just leave it here.  Pretend that the one that made you roll your eyes and groan less was the one I went with, okay?

As the battle winds down, Green Lantern has pinned one of the warriors down.  He attempts to communicate, however, the mummy breaks free and makes a bee-line toward Jared Fate, exclaiming that he must get "the artifact".  Alan turns him to dust before he can!

When the (literal) dust settles, the crew notices that Jared Fate's artifacts have vanished.  Alan identifies the mummy army as serving the Sons of Anubis... however, before he can expand too much, he's interrupted by... Scarab, who tells them that this is a job for the JSA!

While perhaps not as heartfelt as the opening chapter for Justice Society of America (vol.3), this issue still served as a wonderful introduction to the characters (and in part, the concept) that will be hanging around for the opening arcs.

This series is what I point to as my true introduction to the Golden Age characters.  Sure, I knew them... hell, knew about some of them too, but it wasn't until JSA that I actually came to care about them.  This volume made it so the Golden Agers would always be on my pull-list... so long as DC Comics actually decides they a) exist and b) warrant a series.

It's also why I always point to this series as the perfect "gateway" into Golden Age fandom. (at least in terms of the characters).  By blending the older heroes with some new ones (as well as newer "takes" on the classics) this series is more grounded in turn of the century storytelling methods, sensibilities and style.  It's not trying to ape comics from the 1940's/1950's... it's still very much a book of "today", well, when today was today that is.

In familiarizing myself with the characters here, I have been better able to appreciate things like the All-Star Squadron and Infinity Inc.  Now, I can't speaks for anyone but me, but I doubt I would have gotten into them (or at least found this level of appreciation) otherwise.  While the post-Infinite Crisis series (initially) feels sort of like a love letter to the characters, this feels like a foundational effort to bring them back to relevancy, for seasoned and new fans alike.  I'd posit that without this series setting the stage, the subsequent one wouldn't have had nearly the amount of impact.

Now, the issue itself... It's framed by a funeral, which is as good a place as any.  We need to concoct an organic reason why all of these folks would be in the same place at the same time... so this works.  Killing Wesley Dodds is a pretty natural choice.  He was pretty much off the table as a hero, suffering attacks and ailments that would render him more a liability on the field of battle than anything else... plus, we have a contemporary replacement in the former Sandy the Golden Boy.  That works fine.  Gotta say, it was weird seeing Morpheus pop up though.

I mentioned it during the synopsis, but the throwaway bit where Jack refers to Jade by the wrong name really resonated with me.  It's the perfect way to illustrate that some of these folks only passingly know each other.  Having Jack, who is kind of our POV character for the funeral be the one to err, is also appreciated.  I think a lot of readers can identify with Jack... or at least would like to.  He's got that cool factor so many of us lack, and appears to be something of an outsider when surrounded by the legendary Golden Age giants.

The threat we received is... I dunno, not one that really excites me... however, serves as decent enough background noise while we (re-)familiarize ourselves with the cast and establish the new-look Society.  Dr. Fate has never been a character I've been able to follow for all that long.  Characters that powerful, with a basis in magic don't really do it for me.  I was pleased to see Jared Fate meet his, er... fate, though.  I know he's sorta "low-hanging fruit" but, I mean... just look at him.  Yeesh.

The art here was very nice, and the cover by Alan Davis is immediately recognizable and turn-of-the-century iconic.  I really have no complaints as far as the art goes... I will say, however, that I was so happy that this was done on that grittier flat paper stock rather than that horrid saturated gloss that makes it look like every page has blisters from a second-degree sunburn.

Overall, JSA is one I'm always going to recommend... it's definitely worth your time.  If you're on the fence (but curious) about the Golden Age characters, I would suggest that this is the place to start.  This issue is available digitally for a buck!  Warning: this series might lead to addiction.  Consult with your wallets and significant others before indulging.

Well, that be a lotta pencillers, eh?  Wow, for the first time in ever I couldn't fit'em all into the tags/labels!

This is bound to be an amazing book right?  Either that or a colossal mess, to be sure?  Well, nah... it's neither of those things really... but we'll get there.  I guess I'm still in a post-Infinite Crisis mood (is anyone ever in an Infinite Crisis mood?  This might be a first!), so we may as well see how the new-look League (starts to) shake out!

This bugger features a lot of callbacks (it's basically a series of vignettes of the past and "future")... and I'll do my best to fill in the bits and pieces as we go.

--

We open in the Batcave... a long time ago.  This is happening right after Justice League of America #9 (February, 1962) "The Origin of the Justice League" (Gardner Fox/Mike Sekowsky)... ya know, the one with where the Leaguers are almost turned into trees?  Superman is trying to convince Batman that when a threat becomes too big for one of them, they should band together as the Justice League to take it down.  Batman kinda hems and haws, before accepting.  This is drawn in a time-appropriate style, the "face" part of Batman's cowl is darker than the rest, sort of like the Adam West '66 show.

After the handshake heard 'round the world... both men look a bit ill at ease.  Turns out they aren't alone.  Wonder Woman is also there... invited by both men without checking with one another, it's a pretty cute bit.

We jump ahead in League history to around issue #102 of Justice League of America (October, 1972) "... And One of Us Must Die!" (Len Wein/Dick Dillin) where Red Tornado sacrifices himself to save the team.  Our trinity really starts tearing into one another about this... Diana thinks Red Tornado was kind of their best bet for a sacrifice, as "it's better we lost a machine than one of our own."  Batman is furious... he always thought they considered Tornado "one of their own" regardless.

Next stop, the future... or a possible one, at least.  The trinity is attending the wedding of... Hal Jordan?  Ehhh? They are joshing one another about the betting odds for some of the male Leaguers taking a wife.  Behind the three is a woman lost in thought... I'm gonna take a stab and say this is Carol Ferris... and Hal's marrying another woman.  This story (to my knowledge) never came to pass, so it's pretty moot.

The talk of weddings leads us to a flashback to an issue we discussed here not too long ago!  The wedding of Donna Troy and the Creep... er, Terry Long in Tales of the Teen Titans #50 (February, 1985) "We Are Gathered Here Today......." (Marv Wolfman/George Perez).  We get a neat callback (via Perez's own pencil!) to a discussion Dick and Bruce had during the reception.

Tales of the Teen Titans #50 (Feb, 1985) / Words-Wolfman - Art/Perez

Back to... the future, where we see the trinity fighting Lex Luthor!  Lex has actually punched Batman in the face so hard he knocked a tooth out!  He's ranting about something having happened to his son... which, again... this is a possible future, I suppose.... buuuuut, being as though this is right after Infinite Crisis, an event that saw the death of Superboy (Kon-El/Conner Kent), who was cloned from a DNA cocktail featuring the mojo of Superman and Lex Luthor, he might be referring to that.

Back to the past, and we're at around Justice League of America Annual #2 (1984) "The End of the Justice League" (Gerry Conway/Chuck Patton).  This is at the dawning of the Detroit-League run by Aquaman, and featuring characters like Vibe, Gypsy, Vixen, and Commander Steel.  Batman ain't quite feelin' it... I feel like that's something of a theme here.  Superman and Wonder Woman try to get him to settle his tea kettle... and tell him it's Arthur's turn to run the show.

Back to the future... and this is a story that actually came to pass.  We're in Smallville, and in the shadow of Pa Kent's passing (at the end of the Brainiac storyline right before the New Krypton saga), Clark has returned to try and remove all traces of Superman.  Of interest, he fills in the tunnel from his childhood bedroom, which I've always associated with pre-Crisis Superboy... hmm...

Back to the past... and the Batcave!  Batman and Wonder Woman spar as Superman looks on.  Batman is excited that he's found himself a new partner... Jason Todd!  This kid's gonna be great, really great!  This is the first time in awhile Batman feels "alive".  Can't really place this one... since, ya know... Batman met Jason Todd twice.  His happiness here makes me think pre-Crisis, however everything Red Hood related from here on makes me think post.

To the future!  We're on Paradise Island as Wonder Woman is preparing for her upcoming nuptials.  Apparently her taking a husband brings with it a sacrifice... her immortality!  Can't say that this story ever happened... my Wonder Woman knowledge is pretty spotty.  I'm gonna go with "never happened".

In the past, we get a little bwa-ha-ha, when the trinity huddles around a photo of a kayoed Guy Gardner.  This occurred in Justice League #5 (September, 1987) "Gray Life Gray Dreams" (Keith Giffen/J.M. DeMatteis/Kevin Maguire) They ask Batman about the (to my mind, kinda "over referenced" by this point) "one punch".  It's sad that an entire (amazing) run of Justice League is often reduced to Batman punching Guy Gardner.

In the future, Superman arrives to the new JLA Satellite for his annual meeting with the rest of the trinity... alas, they are a no-show.  Clark sheds a single tear.  Not sure this one ever came to pass either.  It looks like the League has the head of the Incredible Hulk in their trophy room though!

Back to the past, looks like we're hopping into my wheelhouse, 1992.  Batman and Wonder Woman see the news of Superman's passing.  That of course happened in Superman (vol.2) #75 (January, 1993) "Doomsday!" (Dan Jurgens).  All Bruce can say is that they're going to need to build a stronger League next time.  A reference to Doomsday absolutely wrecking the current League, and perhaps the justification for Wonder Woman joining the "new" League immediately following the Death of Superman.

In the future, the trinity discuss a recent revelation by the Flash... wouldja believe, there's a second Earth out there?  I remember there being some rumblings and measures taken in regard to doing some Earth-2 stuff post-Infinite Crisis, but it never felt like it took off.

Back to the past!  Superman and Wonder Woman are reading Batman the riot act on his secretly having protocols on taking out each member of the League should they go rogue.  This doesn't sound like a terrible idea, until you consider what might happen if say... Ra's al Ghul were to get a hold of them.  This happened in the Tower of Babel arc in JLA, issues 43-46 (Mark Waid/Howard Porter).  In the fallout of this arc (JLA #50 - February, 2001 - Mark Waid/Bryan Hitch), the League members revealed their secret identities to one another.

And, back to the future... Wonder Woman and Superman are at Crime Alley in Gotham City discussing the passing of Batman.  This would (sorta) eventually come to pass nearly a half-decade after this issue!  Superman/Batman #76 (November, 2010) "The Brave and the Bold" (Judd Winick/Marco Rudy) featured Superman's reaction to the death(s) of Batman.  I get fuzzy here because Batman died in Final Crisis... and during Batman R.I.P., right?!

We next get a very brief flashback bit regarding Batman's involvement with Brother Eye... like one panel brief.  They are discussing events that occurred during the OMAC Project miniseries (2005-Greg Rucka) which was part of the lead-up to Infinite Crisis.

That's our last time-traveling moment here, as we (finally) arrive in the present.  Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are having their latest annual Trinity-Meeting.  Batman accidentally refers to the League as "friends", which is pretty cute.

Our issue ends with the big-three knowing they've got a few big decisions ahead of them... and, ya know, gets our hopes up about what new members they're going to add to the ol' order.

It's hard to really review this as a story... but it's still something worth checking out.  Not only does it provide a fun Justice League history lesson (including art from the original artists, or in the style of) but it also helps us conceptualize what the current post-Infinite Crisis DC Universe may look like.

I remember having a ton of questions following Superboy-Prime's reality punch insofar as what is and isn't part of continuity anymore.  This issue allows us to observe vignettes to answer (even nebulously) some of those questions.

I think I could have done without some of the "flash forwards", which wound up not panning out.  Not sure if they were included as red herrings, or if they simply didn't wind up happening due to... whatever reasons.  It is interesting to consider that even as Infinite Crisis was a thing, DC already had an eye toward Final Crisis (if, in fact, that's what the Crime Alley scene was alluding to). Seems like an unreal amount of forethought for a comic book company of any era.

The first time I read this, I think my main takeaway was the idea that perhaps Superman was, at one time, Superboy.  I wasn't terribly familiar with the concept, or even fond of it at the time... but it was still intriguing.  I saw this as, potentially, the first radical shift (that didn't serve a larger story) to a character I'd "grown up with".  Hell, it's possible I was reading too much into it... but, that underground tunnel in Clark's room always yelled "Superboy" to me.

It was neat revisiting some older incarnations of the League... even if I could do without the "cheap pop" Batman "one-punching" Guy Gardner reference.  It really bugs me that when folks talk about that era they're all "One Punch!  One Punch!" rather than talking about all of the great stories and character work that amazing run brought with it.  Though, I guess it's good enough people remember it at all.

The art was... ya know, kinda jarring... but in the right way.  This is supposed to be something of a Justice League community quilt... it's supposed to look different as it goes.  I'll say that I wasn't a fan of all the art here, but feel it did all serve the tone(s) the book is going for.

Overall, as I read this I thought to myself "Self, this would'a made a really good Free Comic Book Day issue!" and upon further review, saw that it actually was the year after it came out!  Then I thought... hey, I can tell folks to check this one out digitally for free!  But alas, no... it is available digitally, but it's gonna cost ya some credits.  I'd say it's worth a look, though I would advise against breaking the bank to do so... it does, after all, feature Terry Long.
