I'm not exactly sure yet what this book is actually about, but . . I really don't think it's about the Presidential Election in the DC Universe. First of all, this is actually a JLA mini-series. It's being played from the political angle . . which is genius considering the politics in our nation right now, but . . . I think there's more at stake here than just an election. The whole thing starts out with a bomb threat to a candidate in Cincinnati. Robot-man, from the Doom Patrol, happens to be on hand and helps the situation from being worse than it was, but . . it draw in the JLA. Through some investigating, they find out that whomever the bomber is . . they're targeting all of the candidates. Parties and gender and ethnicity don't seem to matter. So, either they really just have something against the government, or . . . they're trying to draw in the JLA for a reason. But since this is the first issue, we have no idea what that reason is. All we really know so far is that the candidate that Ollie has been assigned to has convinced him to come out in public support for him. Everybody's response is the same, "Ollie . . you damn fool. This story is being brought to us by Bill Willingham, Judd Winick and Rick Leonardi. As far as I can recall, this is the first time that Bill and Judd have worked together. This could be a very interesting collaboration. My curiosity has been peaked. Not so much because of the political aspect of the whole thing, but I'm really intrigued to find out who's behind it . . and why. Knowing Bill and Judd's styles . . there should be a few twists and turns along the way. All in all . . I think it'll be an interesting ride.
