Starro could very easily have shown up there, ditto the aliens in JLA #7. <br />In #5 the robots are actually created by Professor Menace--Dr. Destiny's scheme is completely separate.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12464833.post-39699220171434632072013-05-11T12:43:43.160-07:002013-05-11T12:43:43.160-07:00I liked the one-on-one battles in All-Star less th...I liked the one-on-one battles in All-Star less than what Gardner F. accomplished in JLA.<br /><br />When there were small teamups of superheroes, he was very careful to not let one superhero (like Green Lantern) dominate the action. <br /><br />He managed to achieve a kind of participatory balance between the more-powerful and less-powerful which gave the reader the feeling that every superhero mattered even though the super powers of some were definitely more limited (e.g., Aquaman) than others.C.
