If it meant him having to leave the Justice Society book, I wouldn't cry. Heck, it might save him from a messy painful death or another bout of "turning evil" when Johns starts getting low on ideas.<BR/><BR/>I really like Andreyko's take on the character - probably the best take I've seen since, well, ever. Even Roy Thomas's take on Obsidian in Infinity Inc never did much for me - Jade was the more interesting of the pair there. In fact, I've always kind of thought of Jade and Obsidian as the DC analogue of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver -- I don't know why, but that combo has been in my head since the 80s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-80497145685389389242007-02-28T06:12:00.000-05:002007-02-28T06:12:00.000-05:00HAPPY!And he really should be on both.
