DC has revealed on its Source blog that the new JLA creative team will be James Robinson and Mark Bagley.

Robinson is an awesome writer so I guess this book is finally in good hands. And with Bagley, you know there will at last be some consistency with the look of the book.

I'm still not going to buy it but I'll definitely put it on my "Why not get the TPB" list.

I can't recall if I've ever written anything by Robinson but I'm happy Bagley is the artist on the title.

Someone list some titles Robinson has done. Quickly!

And he's currently writing the Justice League: Cry for Justice mini series.

Writer I'm ok with, but while I like Bagely, I just feel there's something lacking in his work for a title that should be as big as Justice League... I dunno yet

Bagley draws some of his characters like they're still adolescents. In the Trinity series, his Wonder Woman looked like Ultimate Mary Jane with black hair. Bagley's Wonder Woman was thin, lanky and constantly had a look of wide-eyed surprise on her face.

Wally, you definitely should check some the Starman Omnibus. It's greatness by Robinson and Tony Harris.

What's this omni-bus?

Do you not just read floppies?

The ominibus collects the whole series, including annuals, tie-ins and related minis. It will be six volumes in total, with 3 already out.
I'm not one to go hunting online for the issues so I'd much rather get the omnibus.

I'll look through them next time I'm at a comic shop. If he's as great as you guys say, maybe we can finally get some decent JLA stories.
