Not so long ago I made a bold declaration. I said that I didn't think Brad Meltzer understood the Justice League. My main argument was that he didn't want to include Martian Manhunter. For the likes of me, that's nearly criminal. But, I decided to give it a go anyway.
I feel as though I have been vindicated. As the end of Brad Meltzer's run approaches, let us consider the following statistics regarding the first nine issues of Justice League of America:
Number of super-villains captured: 0
Number of times the characters use each other's code names: 0
Number of times Red Tornado cries: 5,682
Number of issues where nothing happens: 4
Number of times the characters do things wildly out of character: 27
Number of times where I actually gave a damn about Geo-Force: -42
Number of times I wanted to punch "Red Arrow" in the face: 68
Number of times I wanted to punch him in the face when his name was Arsenal: 9
Number of issues with super-villains, giant starfish, world conquering intelligences, doomsday plots, or threats worthy of the Justice League's time and effort: not nearly enough
Oh, yes. I most certainly am vidicated.
