Power of Fishnets 15: Christmas with the Justice League

December 23, 2016

T’was the Friday before Christmas and Ryan Daly felt like reviewing a holiday story with Black Canary or Zatanna. Luckily the Blonde Bombshell appeared in the story “The Man Who Murdered Santa Claus” originally published in Justice League of America #110 and reprinted in Christmas with the Super-Heroes #1. Other festive features this episode include:

  • Ryan’s thoughts on Red Tornado and why he’d make a better villain for the Justice League than teammate.
  • Ryan’s thoughts on the Green Lantern named John Stewart and why he should be one of DC’s most high-profile characters in light of recent political events in the United States.
  • WARNING: Ryan goes on a bit of rant towards the end. If you’re a white supremacist, you might be offended.
