Jimmy Olsen 1

This Jimmy Olsen one-shot is a knitted-together set of scrapings, unwanted leftovers from DC’s back-up program last year. This run of ten-page back-ups in Action Comics was dumped mid-run when DC decided that people would rather pay $2.99 for less pages. Snappy, fun and hanging on the full, ridiculous history of Jimmy Olsen, these little stories are knitted into a really fun 70 page giant, which successfully manages to tell a new, contemporary, fun Jimmy Olsen story.
JSA All-Stars #13

The first time I read JSA All Stars 13 I was quietly impressed. It was a nice break in what is often an incomprehensible team book which itself spun off from another overpadded team book whose purpose and indeed distinction has often been unclear to me.
