JL #42 "Universal Heroes!" COLORIZED version

Presenting----
last year's "Universal Heroes" JLA adventure, digitally colorized for modern audience enjoyment!

Last year I uploaded the "original" black and white version.
This year, I've "colorized" it. Let me know what you think!

And to help celebrate the occasion, cyber-buddy Ashton Burge provided this super-cool "variant cover" illustration. Thanks, pal! It's awesome!!

Happy Halloween, everybody!

So that was fun, wasn't it? Believe it or not, this story has been in the pipeline for nearly two years! I think I seriously started working on it in early 2014 to have it finished for Halloween 2014, then Halloween 2015, and now Valentines' Day 2016!
