Batman, Doc Savage and The Spirit by Geoff Darrow.

These three characters were part of DC’s First Wave, which combined licensed characters (Doc Savage and his supporting cast, The Spirit, The Avenger, Rima the Jungle Girl) with a few of DC’s street-level heroes (Batman - or alternately, Bat-Man; Black Canary, and the Blackhawks).  It was an alternate universe, aka the Pulpverse, without super-powered beings, set in an era that was a mixture of post-World War l and modern times.

On paper it sounded good, and I had high hopes when I read that DC had re-acquired the licenses to Doc Savage and The Spirit.  I had enjoyed DC’s previous Doc Savage book (even though it got off to a rough start), and DC’s The Spirit series, which was very fun and enjoyable, had just finished.

Unfortunately, DC’s execution of this concept was downright bad.

Everything was grim and gritty, with changes made to all the characters that made them almost unrecognizable.  Batman used guns and killed people.  The Blackhawks were money-hungry mercenaries who didn’t care who got hurt while they were chasing a paycheck.  The Spirit had lost his charm and sense of humor.  Much of Doc Savage’s back story was changed.  And so on, and so on.

Sales were abysmal, and rightfully so.  New creators tried to turn around both the Doc Savage and The Spirit comic books, making the characters more like their original selves.  It was too little too late, however.  Both series were cancelled, and First Wave was promptly forgotten.

Actually, the cancellation was inevitable.  Even if sales had been great and warranted continuation, the company-wide New 52 (boo!) reboot - which was only a few months away - would’ve made First Wave go away anyhow.

What are the eras and respective members of your version of the JSA?

quick note: for the purposes of the narrative, I see the Society as generally being a bigger, more nebulously defined team that the League or the Titans, so I'm not going to list all the members of every versions, just enough to get kind of the vibe of each era across, but just because someone isn't specifically mentioned doesn't mean they weren't there or weren't active. Like, Plas isn't really mentioned, but he's implied by Offspring joining in the Revival Era, par example.

anywho, broadly speaking, there's

the First Wave (pulp adventurer types like Axel Brass, Hark, Rima, Midnight, The Gray Ghost, etc.) that collapsed when many of them were lost in a battle with the future Justice League of a dying parallel universe.

the Golden Age (Diana, Ma Hunkel, Jenny Sparks, Amaya Jiwe, Kent Nelson, Alan, Jay, Carter, Corrigan, Ted Knight, Duardo Montez/Ted Grant, Berto Jimenez/Al Pratt, etc.) that existed up through the early years of the Cold War and Diana leaving for the stars after her battles with Wraith and Maxwell Lord the First

Earth-2's alternate timeline where that didn't happen and the team thrived throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, though the World Army consistently threatens to overwhelm the Wonders of the World. Michael Holt spent some time as this Earth's Mister Terrific after becoming lost in the multiverse, Val-Zod and Lor-Zod are Superman and Superboy, Dick Grayson is Batman, Diana is succeeded by her daughter Donna, Inza Ben-Hassin is Dr. Fate, Jesse Quick and Judy Boom share the role of the Flash in fighting the Legion of Zoom, among other deviations.

The WWIII era team the initially confronted Black Adam in the early years of his (eventually permanent) takeout of his native Kahndaq (membership files redacted by order of the US Government, several alleged members of this iteration became the basis of the infamous Team 7)

Infinity Incorporated, legacies of the Golden Age team (Skyman, Jade, Obsidian, Ruby, Sardonyx, Tomcat, Jesse Quick, Judy Boom, Silver Scarab, Hourman, Dr. Mid-Nite, Nuklon, The Harlequin's Son) unknowingly funded by the Ultra-Humanite's Thorul Society using Sly Pemberton's body as a proxy

The Revival Era led by Courtney Whitmore, bringing together new members like Max Hunkel, Grant Emerson and The Offspring with members of Infinity Inc and surviving members of the original JSA.

Finally, years after the Crisis, Helena Wayne leads the New Golden Age version of the team with members like Tanya Spears, Ky Knight, Cyrus Gold and his grandchildren, Trajectory, Karen Starr, Plastoid, Arclight, The Super-Human, Ayesha Saunders, Limelight, and others.

Zorn - Zorn (2023)

A furious offering of black/thrash/punk loaded with face melting riffs

Zorn play a perfect blend of black metal, thrash metal and punk, but deliver it with the speed, ferocity and raw unfiltered sound of 80s First Wave black metal. Most importantly they chock their music full to the brim with deliciously monstrous riffs and hooks and raw, wildly shrieked vocals that never let up from start to finish. It kind of feels like a blend of early Voivod, Nunslaughter, Bathory, Midnight and Exodus, all rolled into one incredible package. An AOTY contender right here.

Logfile:MO.d649

I have to admit today to considerable nervousness, maybe even fear; but also incredible excitement. I was out to the west of my cabin, where I’ve been cultivating torchweed to use for lighting. As mentioned previously, I found a stretch of dry (ish) ground out that way, and the torchweeds seems to prefer growing in mud at the waters edge. Anyway, I was gathering up some samples, hoping to develop breeds which sustain brighter and longer lasting luminescence after being cut.

In the mud, I found the print pictured below. Part of me wants to withhold judgement, telling myself that this is an alien biosphere and I should not apply norms from Earth.  On the other hand, These just look like tracks, and I cannot conceive of what else they could be. If my assumption is correct, this would be by only the second fauna I have encountered on Somnius, and obviously the largest. The glowlies are the size of a large dog, and they represent the only fauna I have witnessed. The cries I hear from the canopy far above sound like some sort of animal, but thus far I have been unable to climb high enough to reach even the lower branches of a Tree of Life.

The prints I have rendered below is over half a meter in diameter. The progression and number of tracks makes me think quadruped. A large one. I keep picturing in  my head something like an Elasmotherium but of course such blatantly convergent evolution is highly unlikely. And it is irresponsible to even make such conjectures with nothing to go on but a mudprint.

This has me a bit worried. If I am even slightly correct this creature could be a danger to me, even if it is nominally docile. I haven’t had to worry about such things before, and this is very unsettling. I suppose I will now have to test my dedication to non-violence towards the indigenous life.  Samuel would laugh at me if he were still around.

Hah. Non-violence. When the time came, I did not hesitate against my own shipmates. Did I value them less? Some days my own motivations escape me.

Idle ruminations.  No way to change things now.

Note from the Director: We have thus far been unable to recover the image referenced above.
