One of those concepts where the concept was interesting but the execution was always lacking.

I loved the Global Guardians when they were appearing in the Super Friends book.
I kind of always looked at them as the way Black Vulcan, Samurai, Apache Chief, and El Dorado should've been handled.
I would love to see more of them, and perhaps as a nod to the old Super Friends mag, put some cameos in the JLA, and interact with the Wonder Twins as well.
Bushmaster's first appearance: Super Friends #8 (November 1977):
I wonder if maybe the Global Guardians would work best in their own separate continuity instead of a shared universe.
The Global Guardians
THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force
"power does not corrupt, power always reveals."
I truly hope we get more of Vixen and the Global Guardians by this team. Excellent story!
Very seriously, WE also want to do an ongoing on this subject with these characters. The hard-copy version of Truth and Justice comes out next month.
PLEASE let folks know how much you liked it so DC has a reason to green light it.
And, please know, for me, this isn't about money. I don't make comics for a living. I make them for FUN and because I love them. I want to do this book for that reason.
DC is overdue for something that is opposition/contrast to the Justice League. The only problem is DC insistence on making the Justice League the only competent group in a world where they are heroes every bit capable and powerful as them.
In a world where a Global Guardians are a competent thing, That can leave the Justice League to be just 7 elite characters who deal with problems on a slightly different scope than GG. Multiple teams can exist in a universe imo
I think a good compromise would be to limit the Justice League to being an American-based institution and start pushing Global Guardians to be the international institution in the vein of JL: Unlimited; above them should be the Green Lantern Corps, The Totality, Heroes of Heroes, off-world stuff. that way you can keep the justice league as an organization (because I like that take in it) but you reel in how singularly League focused DC feels.
