Y’know, Convergence: Justice League International got me thinkin’ …
So this week’s Convergence feature is on Ron Marz and Mike Manley‘s JLI. (Check it out here.) Ron picked what I whole-heartedly agree is the best moment in JLI lore, from Justice League #5 …
… when Batman takes out Guy Gardner with one punch. I died laughing the first time I read it, when it came out in 1987.
Even Kevin Maguire joked (I think) on Twitter last night that “BONK is going on my tombstone.”
Seemed to me the perfect time to do a 13 COVERS salute to one of the great lightning-in-a-bottle series of all time — Justice League International aka Justice League aka Justice League America.
