That&#...Aaron, do you have the JLA 6" figure? That's the one I have. It's a nice sculpt, plus there's the endless fun of playing with his gun and its holster. I should post pictures.<br /><br />I think "longing" is the perfect word for Adam's departures. It was always written well so and neither Adam nor Alanna were whiny about their separation. Plus there's such a sweetness to their relationship you don't see much in comics nowadays.<br /><br />And I can't take too much credit about the rocket/jet pack distinction because someone else mentioned it first, but I like to think I may have figured it out eventually... :)LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568009540291131956.post-32909176167103303482010-08-04T17:06:43.787-07:002010-08-04T17:06:43.787-07:00Good to know that about rocket packs!

I like the level of longing and angst in the classic stories, it was tangible but not so drawn out it got in the way. I always feel so bad when the Zeta beam wears off right in the middle of Adam and Alanna having fun...Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513689328502499665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568009540291131956.post-8624409555299631682010-08-04T13:13:47.959-07:002010-08-04T13:13:47.959-07:00I know!

Hopefully he'll get his moment to shine again sometime soon.
