Moving Genres: JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #8 (JLI 8/?)

Titled "Moving Day," this issue concerns the League members moving into their American, Russian, and French "embassies," a series of headquarterses to be networked by teleporter technology.

This was the first JLI story with no real super-fights in it. The JLI era would feature more "low-budget" stories like this--though not so many as people remember.

In the spirit of the end of the Cold War and the triumph of global capitalism, we begin with some blatant product placement.

The Ultimates #15

I didn't want to do another Avengers book, and I didn't want it to be an Ultimates book that was like the Ultimates from the turn of the millennium. It's a very different time and so the best way that I could honor that, I thought, was to change whatever I felt needed to be changed and try to make it of this moment, as you said. And Jon [Hickman] had done a lot of the groundwork for that, this sense of disappointment, the sense that something had been taken from from us, and put in the superhero vernacular -- the superpower vernacular. That was all really good and I wanted to, if anything, magnify that. -- Deniz Camp
