caia_comica said I should mention JLI ANNUAL #5. So I am.

It's an Elseworlds story, although less Else than some are. The basic concept is that there's a relatively small number of superhumans in the world, all of whom are, despite their best efforts, feared and hated by everyone else, and who have split into two factions as a result, with the more violent one being headed by a mentally unstable character with magnetic powers, and--wait, which company published this again? :)

Anyway, if you're going to do that kind of story, you have to have your paramilitary anti-mutant superhuman squad, and we do. With Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. No, seriously.

They're all...military and stuff.

Although apparently Booster is still all about the football

And Superman makes everything better. Also, that's a...scary-looking Poison Ivy.

This just amuses me so much.

And then they all join the Justice League! And live happily ever after, or at least until the Sentinels show up. I'm just saying.

And now I am very tired, so I'm going to bed.

In an effort to make myself feel better, I've been reading my old Giffen/Dematteis JLI comics. And I have random comments to share.

(If you haven't read the books, this won't be terribly comprehensible. Go look them up instead. They're far more entertaining than anything I'm going to say.)
