I'm not counting every JLI appearance as a "JLI story." (If I did, I'd probably start missing stuff around this point.) Can't skip this, though: J'Onn J'Onzz is central to the JLI, and what happens in this mini is central to J'Onn's later development. It's also one of the most effective and beautiful stories of J.M. DeMatteis' long career, so I'll do this with minimal snark.

There’s a lot of ugliness too, however: warnings for disease, mass death, frightening hallucinations, discussion of suicide, and child murder. Oh, and for strobe FX at the end of the accompanying video.

( It's the ol' 'everything you know is wrong' revisionist origin, except GOOD. )

Will the World's Strangest Roommates weather the ultimate house meeting, or is this the beginning of the end? Meanwhile, what's going on with Toxin? And what's that Skrull spy doing out on the far edge of space? You won't find the answers in the snippets clipped out so the content-farmers can farm you for their precious rageclicks... -- Al Ewing

It’s all about unknowability. It’s about the horror of unknowability. It’s Green Lantern as a cosmic horror. The thing about Green Lantern in the regular DC Universe is that it’s a known quantity. Everyone in the universe knows the Green Lantern rules. Everyone understands, at this point, that you have the Green Lanterns, Yellow Lanterns and Red Lanterns. They know that the Green Lantern is weak against Yellow, they need to recharge their rings—there are rules. The structure of the Green Lanterns and Guardians, they’re like a known police force. -- Al Ewing

As some members (and Mods) discovered yesterday, the image hosting website Imgur has blocked all access to anyone in the UK (and only the UK). This seems to be the result of a disagreement between Imgur and UK Laws regarding data safety.

Imgur have given their own, rather terse, statement on the matter

The header for Scans_Daily is hosted on Imgur, and it has long been a popular hosting site for users, which makes things difficult moving forward for UK users (and Mods), which we will need to consider the implications of, and let you know as required.
