I’ve always had an affinity for the Golden Age
superhero teams like the Justice Society of America and the All-Star Squadron.
From Mister Terrific to Liberty Belle, there’s an analog sensibility that gives
them a certain charm, even when Hourman is rebooted as a robot from the future.
When the Ray got his own book in the 90s, I subscribed to it. And when Steve
Orlando announced that the Ray would be part of his new Justice League lineup,
and would be a young gay man, I made sure to buy his debut! Thankfully, this
issue is an excellent setup for a new version of a classic character.
