The Comic Treadmill: November 2004 Archives As he has done so well here in my current favorite series, Johns continues to juggle a tremendously large cast of characters, giving each one space to develop character and some background drama for the time it becomes his or her time to step into the spotlight. John Broome and Robert Kanigher alternated writing the stories to start, with Broome taking over entirely when Flash graduated to his own title. Broome discards this idea almost as quickly as he dragged it up and the way is cleared for Flash and Grodd to battle for an epic 3 pages before Flash defeats the overconfident “evil anthropoid” again. www.comictreadmill.com /CTMBlogarchives/2004/2004_Monthly/2004_11.php?action=results&poll_ident=10   (16413 words)

Silver Bullet Comics Forum - Infinite Crisis #4 As to Donna and her merry men, I was sorry that after her extended recruitment drive that played out over so many other titles they got all the way out there and weren't able to change a dang thing. I do think Gardner Fox, John Broome, and Julius Schwartz would have done a tighter job plotting Infinite Crisis. The other error (the shift in space sector designation) is either Johns not looking back to see what he called it in issue #3 or Johns not researching DC history to see how John Broome handled it 40 years ago. www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com /forum/showthread.php?t=927&page=6&pp=10   (1101 words)
