This book gives us a little more depth in to the Titus story-line. Supposedly this "god" showed up in the beginning of the League's history. It's kind of a retro-active continuity, as it were. He called out a challenge to all the gods of Earth, but none accepted. So he began desecrating anything around the globe that was constructed in worship to them. That's how he gained the attention of the Justice League. But he's one powerful SOB, so he basically handed them all their behinds. But they rallied and pushed him against the ropes. Rather than surrender he offered them a proposition. He offered all of them the actual power of the gods, so they could better fulfill their lives missions. Of course they rejected him, and as a form of punishment he harnessed Hal's power ring and used it to take them all to the surface of the moon. My presumption is to bury them there. Obviously that didn't happen, because that was in the past. And somehow this story is going to teach them how to beat him now. Also, the funny thing about all of this is, all of them barely remember this even happening. I'm guessing that it's an implanted memory from Titus himself. If that's the case, I believe he may have over-reached himself. Next issue is the final chapter, and the final book in this series. Yes this alternative the the regular JLA title has run it's course. That's sad too, because I've really liked the stories here. It's nice to read the JLA book, with as large as it's cast is getting. But it's also nice to see these older stories, and various adaptations of the League throughout the years. I'm guessing, though, that there's going to be another JLA book hitting the shelves sometime soon. The League is just getting to big to contain all the characters, and stories in a single monthly issue. But I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
