That's why I thought I'd try to "catalog" some of those great
moments from my own comic book reading experience, a "highlight reel"
if you will. Not that I'm the ultimate arbiter of determining what
qualifies as an official "great moment", but at the same time, maybe
something I like will make an impression on another fan who may, in
turn, add that "great moment" to their own memory banks (or comic book
collection).
The moment I've chosen for this forum
is taken from
JLA #33 (1999).
Set-up: Batman dispatches four members of the Justice League to the French Riviera to bring in...
Bruce Wayne? Well, without getting into the obvious secret identity issues there,
Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner),
Steel, and
Plastic Man, along with new members (and New Gods)
Orion and
Big Barda arrive in France to play the part of swanky jetetters.
We now join the undercover JLA members as they admire the normally fully-armored
Big Barda modeling a form-fitting red dress
hough the art's a bit on the shakey side, writer
Mark Waid'swonderfully paced, absolutely hilarious Plastic Man gag more than
overcomes it. Plastic Man had long been known to assume the shape of
anything while still retaining his costume colors and design, and
Waid's gag cleverly (and a bit naughtily) updated that great tradition
for a modern audience.
jejeje he is mega hilarius
