Justice Inc. #6 page 32


 And so ends the time spanning adventures of Justice, Inc.!  What did you think?  Personally, I'm not a fan of how every writer has latched onto Chaykin's idea that Lamont Cranston was evil and Allard redeemed him (in name only).  Or that Margo was with The Shadow from the start.  It makes things easier, I'm sure.  But if someone were to take the effort to write Miss Lane as an agent who only suspected the truth.  As to Doc Savage and The Avenger, I really can't speak much to how they were portrayed, although the little that I have read of either tells me that they were changed as well.  I'd love to see a book that continued the Gibson version faithfully.

Justice Inc. #6 page 20

 
"I am mankind's savior!"
 
(Let those megalomaniacal words sink in.  Resonate.  They've been repeated in various ways throughout history.  Perhaps history is truly just a loop that plays the same moronic scenes over and over again, just replacing the actors.)

Justice Inc. #6 page 17

 
"Time has run amuck!"
 
(As an aside, I thought that the word 'amuck' was incorrectly applied.  A quick search on the interweb let me know that, up until the mid 20th century, 'amuck' was regularly used before 'amok' became the preferred term.  Although this story was written in the 21st century, the tale takes place in the 1930s.  This seems an appropriate use and I applaud Mr. Uslan for staying true to the times.)
