Yesterday my fuzzy old brain drifted back to the long-ago abandoned JSA/Invaders project. (Remember?)Suddenly I found pages forming whole in my minds eye. Much like how ELSEWHEN happened. A page. Then another page. Then another page. I quickly realized this was happening because I was not binding myself to GENERATIONS “continuity”. I was just letting it happen, much as it would have before GENERATIONS. Frustrating, since I still felt no desire to actually sit down and draw it. Humph!

Get that plotting down on paper ASAP!Like a dream those scenes in your head may be fleeting, the desire to draw may return in the future.
JB+JSA+Invaders= Drool

The Axis vs. JSA & Invaders— how could they stand a chance?
Ah, but put Red Skull, Ultra-Humanite, Zemo, and the rest into the mix
and it’s a mighty struggle.
It’s interesting how imagining veritable gods and Demi-gods being
involved in WWII feels somehow so appropriate. It’s almost like the
horrors of the war are great enough that retelling it with super-beings is
a way of grappling with the inconceivable. (Of course, it basically
happened in real time at the dawn of super-heroes, but there is
something interesting about why it was such a successful combination.)

So, we just need to train one of these art AI bots to draw like JB...

Just bang out a fast layout using super crude thumbnails and some handwritten text to explain? You know folks here are all ears to your ideas.

Thanks for bringing us into your frustrations, JB. Feel comforted that we now slightly share them with you. ;-)

How about turning this into a project for some of amateur
artists here to do? JB's script and their drawings.

Dream project. I saw two pages, I think, of pencils to this someplace online. They looked fantastic.

My memory isn't what it used to be, but I feel like JB did a few loose costume doodles of JSA/Invaders doppelgangers and posted them? Am I remembering this correctly?
Edit: This would have been over a decade ago, probably way longer than that.
