This story seemed to go way back in the history of the JLA. It recounts on of their first encounters with the Weaponers of Qward. It's by Mike W Barr and Randy Green. I like Randy's style, but it almost has a Scott McDaniel type feel to it. The real shining piece of this book though is the cover. It's by Julian Lopez and Bit. Anyways, the Weaponers come to the satellite to try to steal some of the JLA's absconded weapons. Of course that doesn't turn out the way they plan, and our team has to go to the anti-matter universe to follow them. We have Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, the Atom and Green Lantern . . . Hal Jordan. Hal has to explain to them just who the Weaponers are and where and what the planet Qward is. It's also their first time in to the anti-matter universe. They travel by a worm-hole that Hal knows about just outside of Coast City. After landing, they find a city. So now they have to go in, try to retrieve the weapons that they stole, and make sure they didn't make any copies or plans to make future ones. They attack a scouting party and steal their clothes and armor. But the world is so alien, that it's hard for them to assimilate in to such a society unnoticed. They're attacked and knocked out. When they recover they find a group of the Weaponers donned in their own armaments and weapons. "Not gone Earthmen . . . merely in more deserving hands!" Next issue, they'll have to fight for their lives In the Arena of Qward. Just another chapter in the lives and rich history of the world's greatest super-hero group . . . the JLA!
