The apostrophe-s in this series’ title is possessive, and the relationship between the hero and the team he works for reflects all the ugliness that implies.Ĭisco’s life was changed (as most were) during Darkseid’s invasion five years ago. Throughout this series, it becomes clear that Amanda Waller is using Vibe in a particularly Amanda Waller-esque way – repeatedly putting him in extreme danger and to hell with the consequences. Vibe does seem particularly focused on the character’s role with JLA, borrowing liberally from scenes and dialogue of the main series, but twisting them to place Vibe at the center.

Johns lends a little bit of that credibility to the first couple issues of the series devoted to DC’s ultimate underdog: Vibe.Įr, sorry, “ Justice League of America’s Vibe.” While a bunch of the other members of JLA have solo series, none of them bear that persistent branding of “Justice League of America’s _.” I sorta get that for characters as strong as Green Arrow (especially as the series recently took on an awesome new identity under Jeff Lemire and Andre Sorrentino), but it seems like Catwoman and Katana could be saddled with this super-title. Geoff Johns has turned that character around in the last couple years, and even when the storytelling hasn’t been at its best, the idea of Aquaman as a impotent fish-enthusiast has basically disappeared. Aquaman is a great example of this – the character is the subject of near-constant ridicule, all in an effort to make his struggle to be “cool” explicit. One of the recurring themes in the New 52 has been heroes grappling with their own relevance in a world so densely populated by superheroes.
The greats - like Batman and Superman - are name brands both in their own universes and in our own.
Today, Patrick and Mikyzptlk are discussing Justice League of America’s Vibe 1-3, originally released February 20th, March 20th, and April 17th, 2013 respectively.
