JLE/Scavengers Crossover: JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #15-16 (JLI 54)

Friday, February 6th, 2026 10:11 pm

Keith Giffen, Gerard Jones, and Bart Sears do this whole storyline. Warning for OTT violence and nuclear apocalypse. Which, okay, is another kind of OTT violence.

The Silver Sorceress and Bluejay have blamed their world’s destruction on nuclear weapons. They neglected to mention the gang of badass villains who set those weapons off.

Five of those villains are still hanging around their dead world. When they lose their last living human prisoner, they’re on the verge of turning on each other. Lucky for them, that’s when the Silver Sorceress stumbles back into town. From her comings and goings, they know she’s found a new world for them to conquer.

( She tries telling them she just went on a coffee break, but they know that’s bullshit because they destroyed all the coffee shops too. So you see why they’re irritable. )

The aim of the game, the goal -- and I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it, I don’t think it’s within my powers -- is to turn Paul into a sort of adorable sitcom dweeb. To kind of defang him, to remove his power, to remove this kind of toxic power he has over the readership. -- Al Ewing

We see that Hector Hammond's been successful at being Hector Hammond in a way that the regular universe version wasn't. If you go way back to the 60s, he started as this great sort of society man, and this great business person. Very quickly, all of that fell apart, because Hal Jordan found him out as the phony he was. And then the next time you see him, he's got a giant head, and, you know, that's his life now. So in some ways, our Hector's, like, more successful than the regular first one. We'll see if he manages to keep that up. -- Al Ewing

I knew Prue Leith left GBBO, but I just learned that Nigella Lawson is replacing her for this year's show! I am intrigued! (Note: I still haven't watched the most recent series - I usually save it for my summer vacation.)

I am also considering if I want to try to bake something new this weekend, or just more orange cranberry scones, so my giant bag of cranberries in the freezer slowly gets smaller. I do have plans to try a new pasta recipe and maybe some panko-crusted pork chops, but I hadn't really thought about a baking project. I will have to think on it now.

In work news, some of the stuff I was concerned about yesterday got done, finally, so I feel so much better. I still have to write my stupid review of Assistant J though. I've been putting it off but I can't put it off any longer. Ugh. Such a stupid process.

Giffen, DeMatteis, Hughes. Warning for jump scares, ridiculous levels of violence, an extended pro-suicide thought sequence, and a scene that had me wondering if it was possible to fridge a dude.

Hate destroys. Hate makes you into a parody of the person you once were, an empty, scowling mask where a human being once stood, chasing goals that’ll never bring you lasting happiness. Oh, it might give you a burst of fearsome short-term energy, maybe even enough to destroy your enemies, but that’ll just leave you with one last enemy: yourself.

That’s the philosophy by which I try to live my life. Even when I have to watch the news. (Those Death Note fantasies are just fantasies.) But here to articulate a dissenting view is our new op-ed columnist, Despero.

( Still better than Bret Stephens! )

"Some of this stuff runs pretty close to or even past what I assumed were my own limits. It's not butchery for the sake of it-- a typical issue of 'Crossed' will contain relatively few extreme images or incidents, perhaps only one or two (but they will be pretty far out there). What I'm attempting to do is temper the slaughter with a good deal of character development; I'm trying to show people hanging onto their humanity as well as their lives. Just barely and by their fingernails, of course." -- Garth Ennis

this could be the year for the real thing

I could talk about how exhausting work is, not for any big thing but just because a regular project of mine has taken about twice as long as usual for a variety of reasons, but I am very close to it being done. I mean, will there be changes? Yes, but just getting it all down and confirmed will be a huge weight off my shoulders. Also, there's other stuff that makes me tired, but that is above my pay grade, even if I've got the new CEO calling me to talk it over(!!!).

In other news, I knew Panarin was going, and though I'm not thrilled about the return (I dislike Drury a lot as GM, but it is what it is while Dolan is in charge), I'm glad he's not in Florida. I don't want him in the east at all, so I can avoid seeing him on another team. (It helped with Kreider, too.)

Anyway, what I really want to talk about is the new episode of The Muppet Show that aired tonight. If you are a fan of the original, without spoilers let me say I recommend watching it. Hopefully it does well enough that they make more, because I thought it was 100% in the spirit of the original, unlike some of the more recent projects they've done.

( spoilers )

So that definitely lifted my spirits and I hope you give it a watch and it lifts yours!
