JLA Classified #26 - DC


The reason I like this series so much is because it's one mini series after another. Each story is a 3 issue story arc, and each story has a new creative team. But it still features the JLA. This one is by writer Howard Charkin, artist Killian Plunkett, and Tom Nguyen on inks. This one is also scheduled to be a 6 issue story arc. This is going to be a good story too, because it has the feel of the Justice League Elite. Plus Faith is involved. So I assume we're going to learn more about her over the course of this trip. Basically there's these 2 South American countries that are neighbors and are both ruled by tyrannts. The other thing they both seem to have in common is that they both have a super-gene program. And, they've both taken to recently using those super-gened soldiers as a way of ensuring compliance from the people. Now because these are both sovriegn nations, the JLA can't just swoop in and take out the trash. No, they must follow diplomatic channels and make sure that anything they do is sanctioned. Well, when dealing with the govt. nothing is ever that simple. They all agree that something has to be done, but choosing a course of action is another matter entirely. So, with the blessing of the President, but without sharing any other information, they decide to go Black-Ops. No Uniforms!! Thier taskforce consists of Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and thier ops leader Faith. Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter are also going to be involved, but not directly. We'll see, I'm sure, the extent of thier involvment, later in the story. This is an awesome beginning to this story. I look forward to the rest of the arc. By the way, the picture at the right is not the actual cover, but it is the one featured on www.DCComics.com, so I had to go with what I got.
