My Favorite Pages: Justice League America 70
One of the many things that DC Comics got right with "The Death of Superman" stories was the follow-up "Funeral for a Friend," which allowed the shocked reading public to grieve the loss of our greatest hero alongside the characters of the DC universe. It really sold the weight of the storyline. The DC Universe had been changed for everyone, and probably not for the better.
Justice League America #70 is all about exploring that grief from the point of view of several different characters. When I read the issue as a Booster Gold fan, I'm usually focused on Booster's triple traumas: losing his super powers, falling to Doomsday, and failing to save Blue Beetle.
But as I reread the issue today, the page that really stuck me wasn't Booster leaning over Beetle's comatose body or Ice breaking down in tears, but Batman doing his best to put death in perspective.
Batman always knows best.
