Rememberr DC said there would be a second JL series.  Everyone thought the GL/GA JLA was the 2nd series, but it's a mini, I believe, so what if this is the 2nd series?

I think it was originally a second series but over time that was changed to just a mini series, so that is probably what they were talking about.

Not sure about the consistency of Geoff Johns (dropped his other title a long while back)....Jim Lee would definitely be a win win as a partner in crime.  McDuffie is needed on this title minus all the editorial force feeds.

They haven't even allowed McDuff to get any kind of flow. And Metzler (who's coffee klatch league I hated) did him no favors. If you're doing a limited run you don't try to lock in a roster. He should have had his mission and then left it with the League wondering what next. If they give Johns a secong JL book I'm good with that.

Latest issue--as I think I said, I dropped the title from my pull list, but after checking it out on the stand, I bought it; that's what I've been waiting to see.

Dwayne McDuffie is no longer the writer of JLA: http://dwaynemcduffie.com.lamphost.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=471

I don't look for Marvel or DC to give me the true satisfaction of what black comics can be any more than I look to Hollywood studios to deliver what black cinema can be.

spoilers--

Dwayne McDuffie should be reinstated as writer of the JLA, without question.. just picked up this month's issue, real good stuff in there, Hardware is in the mix, and is apparently his usual snarky self, to the consternation of everyone else.. it was great that you had Hardware, Vixen, john stewart and firestorm all together, representing.. hey, if the "black avengers" can't happen, then the "black justice league" sure as hell can, especially since there's this hal jordan/Green arrow spinoff group.. Make it happen, DC.. now!

and my man Icon shows up at the end.. but Dharma's on the ropes.. bleeding.. what is that, exactly?  and he was "holding together the universe"? hmm...  glad to see that Milestone peeps have true value in the DCU..

I have to say, I'm extremely ticked at DC editorial.. I want the Maestro as the maestro of JLA for many years to come.. bah! If Geoff Johns and Grant Morrisson and Brian Bendis and Mark Millar and the like can more of less get free rein on the books they want to inhabit, then the same should go for Mr. McD.. 

My hope is that fan protest is so loud that DC editorial will have no choice but to bring back the Maestro in the near future..

Reinstating him is tantamount to admitting they were wrong in the first place, so I don't see that happening.

Still, I'm hoping someday he has Didio's job.

Seconded. This is ridiculous, and Dc have probably just lost this customer on JLA.

Agreed.  If McDuffie's not writing JLA then his last issue will be my last issue too.   >:(

It's so sad. I really enjoyed this issue. 

Not that I should be surprised, but comments by the haters on other boards really pissed me off.  The things they were complaining about on his run of the book...were exactly the things HE was compliaining about.

They let Robinson walk into the book and have total control of his team. Bastards. I hate when evil wins >:(
