Just as Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire charged in and made established characters like Blue Beetle and Mister Miracle their own, their successors at DC Comics have picked up the JLI’s legacy and made it theirs. No one could duplicate Giffen and DeMatteis, just as no one could duplicate Jack Kirby, because their whole approach was about innovation. You follow them best by not following them exactly, by not “training yourself” too much on their “data.” ( You can’t prompt-engineer a BWA-HA-HA. )
WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 14 -- Sunday
Jun. 14th, 2026 08:34 am- I thought about my fic once or twice
- I wrote
- I did some planning and/or outlining
- I did research and/or canon review
- I edited
- I've sent my fic off to my beta
- I posted today!
- I'm taking a break
- I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment
Sunday Discussion: It's a new writing week, and that means a fresh start. Maybe you had a great writing week last week, or maybe last week wasn't the greatest for getting writing things done -- what kind of goals do you have for keeping up your momentum or starting off fresh this week?
Last Call: JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000, BLUE BEETLE, SCOOBY-DOO APOCALYPSE

At the same time Giffen and DeMatteis were doing Larfleeze, they were putting out Justice League 3000 with JLA veteran artist Howard Porter. The series (later renamed Justice League 3001) involves an attempt to reconstruct the original Justice League, 1000-ish years in the future. But the restoration of their powers and personalities is far from perfect (3000 #1). ( JUST IMAGINE the producers of Jersey Shore creating the DC Universe! )
