Another book, that by now, you should all know that I love. This one starts the final days of the JSA. They're meeting in their brownstone, for another Thanksgiving dinner, but all that's left is Green Lantern, Wildcat and the Flash. They're watching the parade going by outside, when Infinity Inc. shows up. You know, Luthor's homemade supers. Well, they really don't care much, until they introduce their newest member, Jade. This upsets Allen Scott, but it upsets her brother Obsidian even more. He pops up to argue with his dad, but then goes outside to let the group know how he feels. It's not pretty, and Allen has to be the one to calm him down. Of course the young bucks have to try to get in the last word, but GL and Obsidian go away quietly. We then move on to Oolong Island, where intergang has gather up all the worlds super-scientist, also mad scientists, to develop weapons for them. Will Magnus is also there, because he was abducted. Chung Zhu shows up to check on everyones progress. But he's upset to find out that Will hasn't made any on his Plutonium Man. However, one of the other scientists rats on him that the reason he can't perform, is because of his meds. He's trying to stay on the straight and narrow, but when medicated, doesn't have his usual brilliant flashes. Not even his friend T.O.Morrow tries to step in to help him. And finally we find out from Steel, that Luthors treatments seem to have a shelf life, because his steel skin has begun to flake off. Again, I can't say enough about the creators of this book. They're doing a bang up job, and should all get a serious vacation when this project is over. They've earned it.
