Show Notes
We dive into the first-ever Justice League America / Justice League Europe crossover, a landmark story that also kicks off Adam Hughes’ legendary run on JLA. These issues feature the debut of Fire and Ice’s iconic looks (although Fire’s is basically regular clothes, two sizes too small), the Huntress and a new female Doctor Fate joining the team, appearances by the Spectre and Superman, the return of the Gray Man, and the introduction of Justice League’s deadliest villain… Irwin Teasdale (actually, no). Along the way, we tackle the eternal question: is Batman a jerk, or not? These exciting issues (JLA #31–32 and JLE #7–9) by the incredible creative teams of Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, Adam Hughes, Bart Sears, William Messner-Loebs, and Art Nichols.
