The launch of this new roster of the JLA is such a SNAFU. They revealed the end of Cry For Justice ahead of time (Prometheus destroys Star City). We’ve seen Starfire and Donna on the team before they were supposed to have accepted and now they want us to wonder if Dick Grayson will stay in its ranks? REALLY? James Robinson was a god while writing Starman back in the day so why does this smell bad? I’m SO tired of writers “dissasembling” a beloved team title. JLA needed focus, a purpose and better characterization NOT an influx of new blood. I think this title will be lost with this line-up and don’t see it lasting more than a few months unless something really interesting and surprising happens.

James Robinson and artist Mark Bagley present a team reeling from the events of JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRY FOR JUSTICE, as a member is tended to after the horrific events of the mini-series. And, will the new Batman join the ranks of the team? Or does he have more pressing issues in Gotham?

Looks like a pissed off Ollie is hooking up with villain-turned hero The Shade and is out for bloody fucking vengeance. The Shade is not a nice man, in fact he’s not really a man anymore at all, so I wouldn’t want to be on his bad side. This must be that dark road that we hear Green Arrow is taking now that Roy has been maimed.

I’m kind of all for the original kid sidekicks finally getting moved up the the big leagues, but it has to be logical and this just seems forced at best and downright unnatural at worst. Is it just me? I’m worried. Also who the hell are the sixth stringers on the cover? I think I recognize Dr. Impossible, BUT WHO ARE THE OTHER 2? And why bother bringing back a LAME RIPOFF character designed just so Ed Benes could show his mom an action figure of his creations?

If you are amused by people pointing out the ridiculousness of religion, then enjoy these choice videos from the BestOfAtheism YouTube channel.

God is SMART! But people… not so much. God speaks to Abraham about his latest great idea… Human Sacrifice!

The Bible is TRUE! And remember Thou shalt not suffer a homosexual adulterous fortune-telling dwarf to live. I think that must have been on that 3rd tablet Moses dropped.

If you enjoy these, then also check out EdwardCurrent’s YouTube channel for what seems to be a Stephen Colbertesque video caricature of a “Christian” managing to mock himself both intentionally and inadvertently while supposedly mocking Atheists. I couldn’t find any INTENTIONALLY funny videos from the other camp. But feel free to share links via comments if you know any.
