The Salvation of the Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family

I get the feeling that DC considers the Marvels to be a Pinto out behind the garage.

Hey guys i had a Pinto and i loved that car! but yeah they are treating these charactyers like they just don't care about them. after all they weren't DC to start with so they're just sort of extras they can mess with if they want to.

If Captain Marvel is a Pinto to them, then the Charlton characters are the Yugo next to the Pinto.

I should look it up, but is that an Alex Ross cover? It looks like Ross and yet it's not as tight as his usual work. If it is Ross, then I'm surprised he painted the cover at all. What with his disdain for everything past 1989. Which could explain why the cover isn't up to his usual standards.

Ross has been doing JSA covers for several years now....in addition he's been co-plotter/consultant for awhile too. Maybe it doesn't appear as "tight" because Ross is stretching himself pretty thin lately, with covers on JSA, Superman, Batman, Avengers/Invaders, Project Superpowers as well as interior work (sketches/plotting on A/I and PSP)

Pick up his Kingdom Superman special. Really nice pencil/ink work from Ross.

^ The writing wasn't too bad either!

yeah, wish he could do a monthly Supes book.
