Trial by Fire

The best JLA story arc of them all.


Come Along.

Kelly and Mahnke end their run on the highest point.

...

...

That's not Rock of Ages. Second best maybe.

...

...

...

...

...

As much as I enjoy that story the Porter art still holds it back for me.

...

That's not World War III.

...

You guys are making me imagine Mahnke drawing Morrison JLA and stop it.

This is not Tower of Babel.
God that's such a fucking shit story with meme writing.

...

Don't scare me like that user

Even better than every arc from Morrison's run? I haven't read any of the books from this volume.

It's an okay story but I never cared for the Fernus addition to the martians.

Don't worry we are getting to why he isn't here yet.

...

It's amazing how much Porter has improved since.

The only problem with storytiming Trial by Fire is that the stories were so intertwined at that point that you also need to do at least Dark Nut and Obsidian Age to get the whole picture.

...

I know but that is like 2+ threads of issues and people fall off by the end.

...

...

Exactly. I love the run and have done several storytimes, both with the whole thing and just individual arcs, and every time I stick to one arc I feel like I'm letting everyone down.

And I don't really like the art on half of Obsidian.

Makes sense to me

Kelly is better overall writer than Waid and Kelly's JLA > Waid's JLA.
Agree/Disagree?

...

I don't think Waid is that good of a writer period and find most of his comics really boring.

...

Love this scene.
