Green Friendliness: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #33, 36 (JLI 46)
Jan. 19th, 2026 06:15 am
Giffen plot and breakdowns, DeMatteis script, Hughes pencils #33, Tom Artis pencils #36.
Warning for suicidal behavior.
Issue #33, “Nitwits, Knuckleheads, and Poozers!,” begins with an old-fashioned narrative caption or two. “It’s a lazy afternoon, and Guy Gardner is bored. Heaven help us all.” ( Remember what being bored for a whole afternoon was like? )
The Mortal Thor #5 - "Thy Soul to Take"
Jan. 18th, 2026 02:06 pm
I kind of mentioned it in the tail end of the pitch, "Oh yeah, this is where we're going in 25 issues." And Alex Ross was like, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, tell me more about this Mortal Thor thing." And he basically, on the spot, while he was designing all the stuff for Immortal Thor issue 1, he designed Mortal Thor and he was like, "Well, I think he should look like this." I'm just sitting there going, "Mm, yes, yes, keep talking. Everything you say is good." -- Al Ewing

Daddies’ Issues: JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #11-12 (JLI 45)
Jan. 16th, 2026 07:44 pm
Giffen plot and breakdowns, Bill Loebs script, Bart Sears pencils.
The JLE, at this point, was 50% isolated dads. Captain Atom was reconnecting with his kids after missing two decades of their lives in his own title; Animal Man (Buddy) had just seen his wife and children killed in his; Rocket Red (Dmitri) was in Paris missing his wife and kids in the USSR; and Metamorpho (Rex) had just learned about his child’s existence in JLE #5. This issue focuses on those four, mostly on the last three, MOSTLY mostly on the last ONE, as Rex decides to start asserting his visitation rights.
( And maybe committing some visitation WRONGS. )
Fox’s Sport: JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #9-10 (JLI 44)
Jan. 15th, 2026 09:31 amGiffen plot and breakdowns, Bill Loebs on script, guest penciller Art Nichols, with Bart Sears moving to inks.

Picking up right where issue #8 left off, Captain Atom and Catherine Cobert hear out Power Girl’s grim prognosis. You may as well call Kara Paradox Girl instead, because an operation is (1) her only hope and (2) impossible. ( ‘‘So she’s going to die, Doctor?’’ ‘‘Not if she lives! Which she won’t.’’ )

Knull #1
Jan. 14th, 2026 04:34 am
“Donny and Ryan did an amazing job because they refused to make him anything less than an epic threat, and so the only way to beat Knull is to get up on his level, so heroes are forced to grasp these big epic moments themselves, and that's great. Plus, it's rare that we get villains who are so completely evil in that very old-school way. From one angle, Knull's very 90s, in a good way - that big, bold energy that comics were running on like rocket fuel at the time - but from another, he's got that 60s villain energy in that there's no dealing with him, no humanizing him. It's time he came back and did his thing again.” — Al Ewing
