Comics, ReviewsJanuary 8, 20220Comments

It is very important, I find, that one maintains a critical distance between what they like and themselves in order to accept that their object of content is not infallible.

JLA Tower of Babel by Mark Waid and Mark Pajarillo continues hot off the heels of World War III arc by Grant Morrison and Howard Porter and is probably one I regret not having read about before. Both arcs clearly indicate what makes the League need one another even if they are essentially gods among…
