Jenny Sparks

Jenny Sparks #5

/ / Comics

Taking break from the standoff between Jenny Sparks and Captain Atom, Jenny Sparks #5 works as something of an origin issue offering flashbacks to both Captain Atom’s origins and to Jenny Sparks’ recruitment by Superman and Batman. The latter provides the big laughs of the issue while the former helps reintroduce the character of Atom and restate the challenges Jenny has in dealing with him through her discussion of one of the hostages whose cancer he cured.

Following the same format of the previous issues, Jenny Sparks #4 splits time with another Jenny Sparks flashback (this one dealing with the Spirit of the 20th Century taking out some aggression on corporate greed contributing to the housing crash of the late 2000s) and her present situation still attempting to talk down the deranged would-be god who just knocked off the Justice League.

Jenny Sparks #3

While providing a flashback to Jenny Sparks and Superman discussing his role as the most powerful being on the planet shortly after her return from the dead, the majority of Jenny Sparks #3 continues to focus on the Captain Atom issue with the former Leaguer holding hostages and demanding to be recognized as a god. The Justice League has arrived to handle the situation, ignoring Jenny’s input in favor a a shock and awe campaign that eventually just leaves us with the same status quo (well, that and Atom’s daughter who he barbeques rather than let her talk sense into him – not your best idea Justice League).

Jenny Sparks #2

The second issue of Jenny Sparks plays out mostly like the first. We get Jenny Sparks yanking the chain of another a core Justice Leaguer about the situation with Captain Atom, this time Superman, and then we get the Spirit of the 20th Century’s second go-round with the crazed super-hero with a god complex. It goes pretty much the same as the first (but still provides plenty of fun for the reader).

The Authority #2

Flashback Friday takes us back to a higher Authority. In their defense of London, The Authority #2 shows us just how scary powerful the group is that Jenny Sparks has assembled culminating in her electrocuting and drowning a large number of the Children of Kaizen Gamorra in the Thames. The second issue continues the opening arc with plenty of examples of the team kicking some serious ass together. It’s in the quiet aftermath, after the Doctor saves Apollo from going splat, however, that the comic really digs in to what makes this group tick.
