Message: <blockquote data-quote="Villano" data-source="post: 689265" data-attributes="member: 505">I agree on all three.  JLA was one of my favs, but I've got a stack I haven't read because I'm not too thrilled with the "lost in time" story.  Also, there's a degree of sameness with the stories.  How many "villain that can alter reality" stories have we seen so far?  I think the writers run into a bit of a stumbling block when it comes to finding something that can threaten heroes of the JLA's power.And Wonder Woman has some damn good writing.  The problem is that Jimenez had to conform his stories to the damage that Byrne did during his run.Also, I wasn't too thrilled with Trevor.  I thought he was a great character in that one shot story where he was introduced.  In that one, WW was acting like a schoolgirl with a crush over Trevor only to discover that he didn't like her.  I thought that was a brilliant idea.However, I think someone at DC noticed Trevor was black and decided they wanted to be "edgey" and get them together (like kids consider interracial relationships shocking nowadays).  I found his personality to be annoying with the feeling that the writers had him forced upon them.  He finds himself in the lost world of Skartaris (sp?) and, without hesitation, slaps on armor and rides a dinosaur into battle.  Ugh!I dropped the series myself.  Not too mcuh in comics interest me anymore, especially for the prices they charge now.  I've found myself just buying the TPB collections.  That way, I can get just the stories I want without all the dtuff I hate.BTW, was anyone else underwhelmed by Kevin Smith's run on Green Arrow?  Again, he seemed too interested in being "adult" and failing miserably at it.  I especially enjoyed his rendition of the world's most well adjusted teenage prostitiute. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />Not to mention that truly terrible Riddler appearance.  He tries to rob a restaurant while saying "Is that your final answer" or "You are the weakest link" or something equally stupid.  This is the Riddler?!And, while I'm ranting, what is wrong with John Bryne?  He's become "retroactive continuity man".  He's rewritten Spider-Man and Wonder Woman's origins, very badly, I might add.WW's is particularly bizarre.  Her mother was WW in World War 2.  Paradise Island can travel through time.  She has a shapechanging, invisible plane that can turn into a spaceship.  WW turns into a goddess (then she's not the next issue).  WW and Donna Troy, formerly Wonder Girl, are now twin sisters, with Donna being created by magic when Diana was a little girl.  WW can be pummeled by Doomsday 2 feet into concrete and withstand energy blasts from Darkseid, but can be taken out by an arrow.Is Byrne on crack or something?</blockquote>
