We watched the new Star Trek, which was damn awesome, last Tuesday at the Imax. The JJ Abrams-directed film introduces a young and sexy new crew while acknowledging the existence of the original one. It’s accessible enough for the uninitiated, and respects longtime fans, if the audible praises of many cosplaying Trekkies during the screening were any indication.
Speaking of new groups, The Justice League: Cry for Justice 6-issue mini will finally be out in July. It’s by James Robinson and Mauro Cascioli; the roster is made up of Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Green Arrow, Atom, Batwoman, Starman, Supergirl, Congorilla and Shazam. It looks promising.
I’ve been reading about Dwayne McDuffy’s JLA situation. To paraphrase, he’s being hampered by big event stories, which he has to adapt to. That explains the vague direction of the book. I don’t know if this lineup is entirely his idea or editorially mandated, but it’s interesting. The revamped team was hinted at in the JLA Origins and Omens backup months ago; only Black Canary is missing from the drawing. Well, I really hope it works.
