Ok were still in international waters here. The JLA is undercover in some South American area. It's a place between two dung piles of countries, Del Canto and Santo Bertriza. It's a little strip of land between the two called La Cintura. But there's a new man in the mix now. The Dutch representative to the U.N., was the main driving force for keeping the JLA out of the skirmish. But there's a Dutch based company, with holding in both countries, and it's CEO is Schuyler Cristoffels. He's the one who appears to be behind everything. The JLA doesn't know that yet, but they will. Actually he's interested in La Cintura. Or more specifically, what's under La Cintura. That, we don't know what it is yet. However, Superman did make a trip underground, and he found some interesting stuff. But he hasn't pinpointed exactly what it is yet. Also, Bruce broke in to the computer banks of one of the countries, I don't think it really matters which one, because both there meta-human programs are being provided by an outside force. That's why the metas on both sides are so similar. They actually come from the same source, although both sides don't know that yet. And it seems that Schuyler is in the middle of all of it. Also in the skirmish in the last issue, Kyle and Diana were taken prisoners. They're each locked up in separate countries, and they're each trying to work on intel from the inside. Howard Chaykin writes this, and he's a master of the cloak and dagger stuff. Very good story. And with Kilian Plunkett doing the pencils, this book really has the feel of the Justice League Elite. Which by the way was a great series. Next issue it looks like all our participants are going to be captured.
