Justice League of America - Wedding Special #1 - DC


This book says Wedding Special . . . but . . . . it also says Justice League. So you guess what the story focus' more on. We start out with Ollie's bachelor party, and Dinah's bachelorette party. But, since we're dealing with the Justice League, things don't stay focused there for to long. First Hal and Roy realize that the idea of them having their party in a public place is just to nerve wracking for the number of identities that they could compromise. Then we have the beginning of the new Injustice League Unlimited. It's another idea of Lex's. They have the Hall of Doom and everything. They've decided that they're going to destroy the Justice League. They start with Firestorm. He's fed some information about the Professor. He knows it probably a trap. But he also know he owes it to the Professor to check it out, regardless. And of course he's met by Killer Frost. He actually does a good job of wrapping her up, but then along comes Lex, with the Joker and Cheetah. A little more than Jason can handle on his own. Basically the Cheetah eviscerates him. He's taken to the hospital in critical condition. Which draws Wonder Woman and HawkGirl there. Where they're met by Dr. Light, the Cheetah and Killer Frost. And Batman and Roy have gone to the crime scene to try to figure out what happened. While there, they're attacked by the Joker, Fatality and what looks like one of Hawkman's shadow demons. Also Geo-Force got there first. So that bunch took him out without to much of a problem. I thought this was going to be an upbeat book. You know with the nuptials coming up and all. But really it's just the introduction to Dwayne McDuffie's run on the League, which starts with issue #13. From the looks of this book, I'd say it's going to be a hell of a run.
