 Well, back in the 80's, their slogan was, "DC: Where the Action Is."

 One of the favorite Moments of Mirth up at Marvel was a DC ad that ran as a
 double-page spread in the middle of their books, and referred to "THE DC
 LINE OF SUPERSTARS".  At a glance, it read, all too appropriately, as "The
 Decline of Superstars".

 time were Justice League of America and Legion of Super-Heroes.

 |  Well, the JLA is almost complete ! I got Green Lantern last week and Wonder woman is expected next week. GL is fine, I like the way the lantern is fitted into his hand. The paint job is fine, but could be better. I hope EM intend to release more characters from the GL Corp (John Stewart, ...) |
