Earliest graphic novels/comic books I read were Justice League (the BWahahaha days) and the Legion of Super-Heroes (mix of SW6 and early Postboot - you can imagine things got quite confusing for me especially because the Internet was new then).

Rockhopper Lad Fabulous and Sparkly! Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,670 The Pyngwyn Colonies I love that the JLI can be referred to as "BWA-HA-HA". It was one of the highlights of the immediate post-COIE era. It seemed a shame that they merged all those earths and most of the characters from Earth-Two, except Power Girl, just disappeared for a while. The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

What I liked about the JLI was the diversity. Although, for a while there the membership seemed like a revolving door. We lost Captain Marvel, Doctor Fate and Black Canary in the first 1.5 years, for example. The Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion! You can also check out the Recap Thread here.

On the downside, Wonder Woman got kind of screwed over as a JL founder. Keep up with what I've been watching lately! "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

Rockhopper Lad Fabulous and Sparkly! Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,670 The Pyngwyn Colonies As I've said many times before, my favorite post-COIE retcon was Miss America's taking Wonder Woman's place in the JSA. It worked much better than the uncomfortable later retcon with Hippolyta taking her place.

Miss America could easily have transmuted Robotman back to the Stone Age Poor Miss America. The Golden Age gave her a moment of courage but did not really show what she could do.
