Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
In the right hands, Plastic Man's wonderful. A while back, in JLA, they had an excellent story with Plas and Batman, where Bats has to help pull Plas' illigitimate son--heretofore unrevealed and unaware of who his father is-out of a gang. Good stuff.
Another Joe Kelly piece, if I recall. I'll also take this opportunity to say that his substitute JLA ruled like a very straight and flat piece of wood with lines on it at regular intervals. Major Disaster, baby.
Varying intervals?
What a horrible ruler.
Now if it was consistent intervals, well, that would be a different story...
Did anyone read Suicide Squad? I admit my fondness for series like Strikeforce Morituri and Atari Force were a bit ... odd, but I can't work out of Suicide Squad was good.
Firestorm! He was DC and whined!

Joe Kelly was very hit or miss, for me, but when he hit, he hit hard.
Major Disaster: "I'm a F&*!ing super-hero!"
Bwah!
Strikeforce Morituri ruled! Everyone died! And that was the whole point...
Read classic and updated SS. It worked basically because anyone could and would die. Including boomerbutt, aka Boomerang
Whiny Firestorm? Whichj expalins why DC is relaunching him, again...

Ha! Even while you were posting, I was editing to make you look mad. MOO HOO HA HA! Now, stand helplessly by while I launch your house into space!
I borrowed a mess of new universe stuff a year or so back, and dug SF:M in a big way.
Suicide Squad was a bit of guilty pleasure. Sudden and unpredictable death was really the only card it had to play (I'm talking about the more recent one, mind you. Only ever read one ish of the older version).
Everyone should read Art Spiegelman's book on Plasticman and his creator, whose name I'm blanking on at the moment.

Great book (expanded from a New Yorker piece) and I'm completely blanking on the creator too. The main source of my comment about what a long/strange trip Plas had to DC.

Heh. Except, it's not Ronnie anymore. It's a black teenager from Detroit.
Ronnie right now is at the top of the "deadpool"list for the upcoming "Identity Crisis" miniseries.
