Okay, I do enjoy this comic. It's pretty silly, but somehow i've found the most relatable character ever: White Feather. He's afraid of everything and anything. Girls, combat, bugs, and so much more. That's like...that's like one of the most fundamental aspects of my own personality! My fears. So this character might be the most relatable archer ever! (I still slightly prefer Hawkeye, but only because Hawkeye is more three dimensional). Also, I caught that joke about Batman 1966! The overly irish cop, yet he's actually Italian. Clever parody of Chief O'Hara on Batman '66. (Showcase #63):

When I first started making my own DC universe I didn't realize just how much DC has erased and ignored the time between the JSA disbanding and the JLA forming, like they really try to sell that the league is the starting point for the "modern age" when in reality there's barely even a gap between the time superheroes stopped operating and the new guys coming in.

For starters I don't think you can put the JLA forming any later than 1990-1991 because these people are OLD so this gives you an 40 year gap to play with considering that the JSA disbanded in 1951.

Here's a list of teams that have operated during that time:

• freedom brigade

• inferior five (depending on if you consider the freedom brigade being formed in the 40s or the 60s)

• justice experience

• infinity inc (there's NO WAY those fuckers are peers with the teen titans)

• squadron of justice

Even when the JSA and the All-star squadron disbanded most of them still operated as usual.

While I'm at it I would also like to note that there were other heroes before 1938, the old west vigilantes are pretty cool and there have been heroes here and there through the centuries.

Comic Book Review: DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #22: Secret Origins of Super-Heroes

Comic Book Review: DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #22: Secret Origins of Super-Heroes edited by E. Nelson Bridwell “Secret origins” are a big part of the superhero genre. Since, back in the day, most superheroes had secret identities, just how exactly they’d come to gain powers or the motivation to fight crime was also a secret to the public. But we readers got to be in on the secret, creating a…

The Inferior Five may be some of the weirdest but cleverest things we get in terms of DC humour comics. Like Marvel with Not Brand Echh, The Inferior Five is DC's excuse to use satire and comedy. The world's most incompetent team. A coward, a klutz, an idiot, and someone both too weak and too slow (weight wise). The body shape jokes probably don't age as well as we'd all like, but that's an assumption without having read it yet. Either way, I like this concept. Someone, the archer being a coward really automatically registers with me. (Showcase #62):
