Man I love this book. First of all, look at that amazing cover by Ian Churchill. Fan-frikin-tastic! With this issue, Dwayne McDuffie takes over on the scripting chores. I think this is some of his first work for DC. He's mostly been a Marvel kind of guy. But I think he'll be perfect for this series. As far as I know, Ed Benes will be staying on the pencilling chores. But, this issue, Joe Benitez fills in for him. And he does an incredible job. This issue also give us the return of the Legion of Doom. Oops! I'm sorry! I meant to say, the return of the In-Justice League. The dawning of a new era means a new name for our band of villains. So far, between the Wedding Special and this issue, they've almost killed Firestorm, taken Batman and Red Arrow hostage, laid a trap for Hawkgirl, Red Tornado and John Stewart, and abducted Black Canary and Vixen. The last one was thwarted by Black Lightning when he showed up and electrocuted the Cheetah. But they did get away with the women. Which left Superman and Black Lightning standing face to face with Lex Luthor. Things are looking pretty grim for our heroes right now. But you know how the tables always seem to turn in favor of these guys. So we'll just have to wait and see what happens. So far this version of the Justice League has been off the charts incredible. It's been fantastic since the first issue. And it looks like our creative change isn't going to slow it down a bit. Right now, this book is in my top 5 favorites.
