Todd & Joe Have Issues 12/07/17: JLA #60
It’s tough to follow a great run on a book. And Grant Morrison’s run on JLA is just that. Great. It’s also influential. The first time in many years the Justice League was comprised of the ‘big seven’ the top teir DC superheroes. But after Morrison left the book, another fantastic writer in his own right, Mark Waid, took over the book. He penned the classic ‘Tower of Babel’ storyline, also this issue, just in time for Christmas.
In this issue, Plastic Man (not really a big seven member, but they’re trying) is convincing a young child that not only is Santa Claus cool, but he’s also a member of the Justice League! Is this a hoax? An imaginary tale? An outright lie?
It does give Waid to set up Neron, the devil/Mephisto analogue he created in the 90’s in the Underworld Unleashed event.
