I no longer consider Plastic Man a complete joke of a superhero.
Awww, man. The original old Plastic Man was about the coolest superhero ever. (Even Alan Moore subscribes to this theory.) Jack Cole was genius.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

THANK YOU, Hec! The memfault was driving me nuts, and I couldn't get around to googling.
Now I'm earwormed for CCR, except now it's 'Keep on Googling'.

What? You're going to make them suck?
Nah. JLA's doing that all on its own.
Preach it, brother. First, Dennis O'Neill, then Claremont and Byrne have really stunk up the place with their runs in JLA. Next up, Chuck Austen - sheesh. When they announced that they would go with rotating creative teams to tell "one great JLA story", I was expecting much more than this.
Ronnie right now is at the top of the "deadpool"list for the upcoming "Identity Crisis" miniseries.
What are some other good candidates? From the little bit I've seen of the previews for Identity Crisis, it appears that Green Arrow is strongly affected by whoever is in the coffin, and I'm unaware of any close ties between GA and Firestorm.

I'm really enjoying Scott Tipton's "Comics 101" articles.
I really need to check these out. Where was that link again?

I have to say, I've always though there was something wonderful and quirky about Plastic Man.

Denny O'Neill had a crappy JLA run? How disappointing. I loved his work on The Question.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Except he's an obnoxious boob! (Never gotten the PM love.)

SEAN! Oh hells yes. That was during my last real intense period of comics buying, and I've got issue 1 through 20 or 30 or so buried in my closet somewhere. I always thought it was a terribly underrated book. The friend who got me hooked on Hellblazer got me hooked on The Question.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Over a couple years, Grant Morrison, followed ably by Mark Waid and with fill-ins by the likes of Mark Millar, had made the JLA everything it was supposed to be--competent, intense and high-powered. Joe Kelly wrought some good stuff, and some muddled storylines, but ultimately didn't detract from them, and added a bit that was good.
Denny O'Neill had them befuddled by a shape-changing alien ape.

Eh, the whole being dead storyline, crossover event, with Atlantis disappearing back into the past thing, that is what killed my JLA love.

Any good paperbacks from that era? I read a lot of JLA from back when there were multiple Earths (via my brothers stash). I'm curious what good JLA would be like now.
edited to clarify because I'm not THAT old yet.
