I love this book. And I love these characters. I think Dwayne McDuffie will do a fine job filling in for Brad Meltzer on this series. I do, however, have one concern. It's minor, but, to me, noticeable. Brad's interaction between characters was flawless. Their witty banter and interactions were right on the money. Now that Dwayne is doing the book . . . and I'm really not just trying to be negative . . . but, the interactions, and conversations seem to be a bit more forced. I still like the flow of the story, and the action. It's just . . . it doesn't seem as seamless now. But, that being said, this is still my favorite book. But, how could it not be? Ed Benes is doing a fantastic job with these characters. And now, we have Ian Churchill on the covers. What else could we ask for? The In-Justice League? Oh yeah! They're here also. Fan-frikkin-tastic! They started abducting heroes last issue, by separating and attacking. And actually, it looked like it was working. But the problem is, after they're captured, where do they take them? It doesn't really matter . . . the point is, they bring them all back together. And these heroes, although formidable on their own, are unrelenting as a team. So it was only a matter of time before they rose up and subjugated their captors. But the victory was short-lived as shortly after Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad show up with a warrant for all of their arrests. We also see this issue, Batman discussing League membership with Firestorm, Jason. He declines, but Batman has a different perspective, "That wasn't an offer, son. It's the way it's going to be. You're too powerful to be out there unsupervised." To which Black-Lightning replies, "The Bat-God has spoken." It's a fantastic book, with the participation of some extraordinary talent. And really, we're only at the beginning.
