61. Justice League: The New Frontier - DTV animated adaptation of Darwyn Cooke's comic book miniseries, which was one of my favorite things of the past few years. It's essentially the origins of the Justice League, set in the Fifties and early Sixties, with more realistic cold war politics and a weirdo, Lovecraftian entity ( Read more... )

Silver Age Superman stories. They're really hard to describe sometimes.

Once again, we had one of our quasi-regular gatherings at stark0228's place to watch TiVOed episodes of Justice League. At some point, after watching still pictures of Joe Kubert art of the Viking Prince, and an animated Diana Prince transforming into Wonder Woman in that Lynda Carter spinny starburst way, I realized I wasn't watching an animated series ( Read more... )
