The Soldiers defeated an energy creature of the same substance years ago, at the cost of one of their lives.
They were needed, as their old foe The Hand (now the Iron Hand) created a nebulous hand powerful enough to crush Earth-2 to powder. The annual JLA/JSA team up convened this time to rescue the time-lost superheroes with help from Oracle, a cosmic being of vast power. The main reason I read this was for issues 100-102, which featured the return of the Seven Soldiers Of Victory. I love the Justice League of America and despite the flaws in this book, they are a delight to read and a fond throwback to my childhood. Dick Dillin, Nick Cardy, and Mike Sekowsky do fair work that ranges from awesome to not quite dreadful. A lot of writers did that because Ellison liked to be a pompous jerk to everyone and anyone who thought they could write science fiction. He makes allusions to someone named H.E., so I am wondering if he wrote this as some sort of personal challenge to writer (and eternal pain in the ass) Harlan Ellison. Instead, writer Michael Friedrich gets all metaphysical and philosophical ending the story personally explaining how when he writes a story he becomes the characters of the story. I thought this was going to be like a Choose Your Own Adventure type affair. The cover of it (issue #89) promised that you, the reader, got to be a part of the story. Also, there was one story that was just rotten. There was a fair share of stinkers in this book as well such the several episodes that hinted at a love affair between Batman and Black Canary. Other great stories involved The Shaggy Man infiltrating the Justice League's satellite base, three complete strangers saving the world unawares when the League cannot, and a Halloween yarn involving Len Wein, his wife Glynis and the despicable Felix Faust. The second adventure has the two teams asking the question 'Whatever happened to the Seven Soldiers of Victory?īoth crossovers were extremely good. There's a symbiotic bond between the two and their absences are causing the pair to become gigantic and destructive. The first involves an alien child and his pet who become separated from each other. The black and white reprinted early exploits of the Justice League of America continue with a pair of team-ups with the Justice Society of Earth-2.
