I was just looking over the online preview of JSA All-Stars and two thoughts come to mind: This looks awesome! (That’s why you come here: the intelligent commentary!) The PDFs aren’t tiny, but I so prefer these to the old photocopies of black/white previews.

DC/Marvel DEATHMATCH?
I’m not sure what to think about the recent announcement of the upcoming DC/Marvel “Deathmatch” mini-series. On the one hand, a crossover where the defeated opponent dies will certainly be interesting. And it makes sense as a way to top the last DC/Marvel crossover series from a decade ago.
