![]() ![]() Now, you would think with all of this that the book would be great… but it proved to start having a downward spiral. Firestorm was then forced on the team by Batman and John decided to play a rotating position with Hal on the League. Of course they didn’t count on John Stewert and later Firestorm turning the tide of battle. Came at the Justice League in high fashion and started taking them apart one by one. His first story arc dealing with the newly established Injustice League (a personal favorite of mine). While, everyone knew that Brad would be leaving the title with issue 12, Dwayne McDuffie took over as writer. The first 12 issues by Meltzer were probably some of the best issues I had read Grant Morrison wrote the book back in the 90s. The roster included the Trinity, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman with Hal Jordan, Vixen, Red Tornado, Black Lightning, Roy Harper becoming Red Arrow, Hawk Girl and Black Canary as chair person.

At their best, Stine’s books channel the kind of banal-turned-horrific you find in Stephen King’s work, albeit for kids (more mischief and less mutilation). My mom taught me how to read, and engendered a lifetime fascination with the macabre, by reading me Edgar Allan Poe when I was a kid I subsequently turned to Stine’s series when I could read competently on my own, and for that I’ll always have a deep appreciation for the Goosebumps books (the original 62, none of those ersatz things he later wrote).

We hope that these posts will help highlight texts that are sometimes forgotten or overlooked, and help us better understand the field of sport history. Of particular concern is how well the works fit into historiographical debates and compare with more recent sport-related scholarship. This post is a part of the series, “Sport History Rewind.” In this series, contributors revisit and reevaluate important texts to determine the degree to which their analyses, arguments, research, and influence resonate in the field today. ![]() |
