On the last installment of Guy Gardner Has a Bowl Cut, we witnessed Booster Gold join the team under dubious circumstances. As the series continues, Guy Gardner remains the loudmouth contrarian, Batman is the team leader, and Maxwell Lord manipulates from – well, I was going to go with “afar” but actually last time he […]
On the last installment of Guy Gardner Has a Bowl Cut, we saw 1987’s Justice League sit down for their “Here’s how it’s gonna be” board meeting. It didn’t go well.
