Ok I'll admit it. First I'm a team junkie. Then I'm a JLA / JSA junkie. And now that we don't have a regular JSA title coming out monthly, this one more than fills the gap. This is a story by Tony Bedard and Scott McDaniel. Scott first came to our attention on Daredevil, where he started out doing this whole homage to Frank Miller thing. Then he started moving off into his own style. The stuff he's been doing lately, I feel, is some of the best in his career. He's really developed the flair for some action packed story telling, and his art flows from frame to frame effortlessly. This story is about Rex and Rick Tyler, the previous Hourman and the current one. Bane has made a discovery that the Venom that he had been previously addicted to, has roots in the Tyler's Miraclo pill. Apparently Bannerman, who developed the Venom, also worked with Rex back in the day when he was first developing Miraclo. So he kind of stole some of his research to get his own drug going. Well now that there's no more Venom, Bane wants to squash any and all sources that it may appear from in the future. That includes the Tylers. Like I said, we don't get a regular dose of the JSA right now, because their own title is on temporary hiatus, but this is a really nice book. And since it's not their base title, it doesn't really have to follow any timeline. They can be stories from any where throughout the JSA's illustrious history. Nice book, and a fun read.
