and she tells him and Axis Amerika to take a hike. She has been assigned to the team, but Sea Wolf is a little too much wolf. Tsunami relates events from last issue and a meeting with Sea Wolf, of Axis Amerika. Green Lantern and Doioby turn up to save her from the Fascists and it all turns out to be a war bond short, whose filming is interrupted by Neptune Perkins and Tsunami. Synopsis: The Statue of Liberty is taking a stroll down the streets of Manhattan, when she is mugged by Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Hideki Tojo. Hope it's been at least an hour, since eating!Ĭreative Team: Roy & Dann Thomas-writers, Brian Murray-pencils, Malcolm Jones III-inks, Jean Simek-letters, Carl Gafford-colorsīill Murray's brother is penciling? Okay, that's Brian Doyle Murray but, it would be cool. they were a sort of copy of Batman and Robin, though they had super powers, brought on by touching their rings together, giving them explosive force. Previously, they had appeared in a couple of issues of the Super Friends, the tie-in comic aimed at young children, who were fans of the cartoon. TNT and Dan the Dyna-Mite appeared at the mass meeting of the All-Star Squadron, but had little actual involvement in the adventures. Maybe his parents were fans of Prince Valiant. nor Arn "Iron" Munro, other than he has a Scottish family name and a Scandanavian first name. There is some mystery about Helena's dreams of death, Tsunami's actual transformation from Miya Shimada, an American-born student in Japan who returns to America as an agent of the Emperor (and the ruling military), who has abandoned her allegiances. What, no Nazi Red Tornado?ġ6:51:53 GMT -5 codystarbuck said: Thoughts: Okay.well, Roy hits us with a lot of introductions, but plenty of action during those introductions, making for an exciting comic. Visually, at least, there is the same dynamic going on with this bunch, as the big bald dude suggests Superman, Gudra Wonder Woman, Sea Wolf, the furry dude, suggest Aquaman (sort of), the archer suggest Green Arrow, and the owl-looking dude and the masked kid are the Batman & Robin duo. Is she really a valkyrie or just someone using the symbology? We get a quick peak at the rest of Axis Amerika, which reminds me of the Nazi band that fought the Invaders, with master Man, Warrior Woman, U-Man and Baron Blood, who were pastiches of the JLA. The appearance of Gudra adds a new twist, until we see her join the rest of Axis Amerika, taking a supernatural premise and switching it to a super-villain ruse. It all looks very nice and certainly sets up an intriguing opening chapter. Tsunami helps round out the numbers and Johnny & Libby are there to provide continuity with the old series. So, here we have a new Superman, a potential Batman (with powers), a Robin, a new Aquaman (Neptune Perkins) and a Wonder Woman, with Fury.
