shankieSo while I'm on the Scott/Barda roll still, I figure the logical next thing to go on about is the strangest story of theirs; which is one of the plots in JLA: Another Nail.
Mister Miracle and Big Barda are captured and tortured by Darkseid... and Scott makes the ultimate escape. He cheats death.
Barda as a Green Lantern. Is the universe ready for that? But more immediately... is Darkseid?
Nah. Barda pwns all. And just how Scott survived is revealed... he's become a construct living in her ring. And thusly do they kick ass together.
Not only does she have a Lantern ring now, she's still got the mega-rod. Two of the most powerful weapons in the universe, being wielded by one of the most formidable denziens of the Fourth World? Wicked.
Not only is Scott still around as a construct... his relationship with Barda hasn't much changed, beyond Barda becoming a lot more stoic, and Scott a little more loud and... frisky. Weirdest marriage ever.
It's a lot like Barda became a GL and her husband became a genie in her ring. Oh Elseworlds, your wacky wacky ideas. How I love them so.
And, a random panel from the story... Barry just having been captured by the Crime Syndicate, tied up in Superwoman's lasso. Because the Crime Syndicate is awesome.
I really enjoyed the artwork for JLA: The Nail, and I was glad they kept the same artist. However, the story was less compelling and very muddled. I'm still not sure what a number of the characters in the book were even doing half the time, but it had its moments.
