Full-Blown Millennial Nostalgia: Justice League Infinity #1 Preview
Justice League Infinity #1 is in stores from DC Comics on Tuesday, but this revival of the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoon series that ran from 2001 to 2006 is more than just a 7-issue cash-in on a long-dead property. Instead, it marks yet another turning point in the aging journey of millennials, who are transitioning fully out of the "complain about the nostalgia of Generation X" phase that saw nostalgia for 80s properties derided and into the "obsess over nostalgia for their own properties" phase. Sure, there have been lots of nostalgia-based cash-ins on thing that were popular in the nineties, covering the childhoods of early millennials, but this series officially closes the nostalgia gap for later-stage millennials as they begin to join their slightly older cohorts in their midlife-crises.
It's the circle of life, folks. It's been twenty years since the launch of the original Justice League animated series. That's a long time! The next step is they start playing Britney Spears and Nelly on the Classic Rock station. It's getting hot in herre! So take off all your clothes! Oh no, wait, don't do that, mom you're so embarrassing!
