JLA : Classified #32 - DC

I like this book, and I like this story, but it seems a little convoluted right now. It has some cool ideas, but I think it tries so hard to make it's point, that it gets kind of boring. I don't know, we'll see what happens next issue. Anyways, to break it down, the JLA is fighting Destiny, again. He's used his materioptikon to capture the dream energy of six and a half billion people. Of course they beat him, but in the tussle his gem falls off his costume and is picked up by on of the dream inhabitants who sees an opportunity. When he wakes up, Darrin Profitt finds that he still has the gem. But, he doesn't understand the implications of it, at first. At one point he even tries to hock it. But later in his apartment, Destiny is trying to get out of the gem, and he drops his key. The key that, when Profitt picks it up, takes them both in to the gem. Well actually, 6 1/2 billion of each of them. Destiny himself actually give Profitt the idea. He has a piece of the materioptikon that helps him reintegrate all his selves. So Profitt starts thinking of plans. Basically, in any given situation, there are only a certain number of outcomes. If he takes himself apart, into the number of possibilities, then one of himself has to win. He then reintegrates into himself and moves on to the next challenge. He does this over and over until he becomes one of the richest men in the world, more loved that Mother Theresa, with the girls of his fantasies, what more is there? Well Destiny challenges him with world domination. So he thinks of everything that he's going to have to overcome to do so, and starts doing multiple realities to tackle all of them. He does so, until he even changes his own image and becomes the Red King. However when he goes back to Destiny's gem, there's only 3 of him. He's already used up 6 1/2 billion chances. He only has 3 left. But he still thinks he can accomplish his task. Like I said, it's got a lot of cool ideas and stuff, but it really starts to run on and on and on and on and on and . . . oh you get it. Hopefully next issue, when they don't have to explain so much, it won't be quite as long winded. But I still love this book, and the whole concept here.
