Next issue is the last for this series. And honestly . . . the last 5 or 6 issues have been the best of the series. At least it's going out on a high-note. I guess. Matthew Sturges writes this one with Carlo Barberi and Jacob Eguren doing the art. It looks pretty good to. For some reason we see a whole bunch of Ted Kord's rogue's gallery this issue. We even see the Madmen. But the real challenge is these new aliens that have shown up. Apparently they're kind of related to the Scarab. And when Jaime fought the Reach, whom apparently these other aliens were the slaves of . . they all got the message from Jaime's Scarab, over some kind of Scarab hot-line, that they didn't have to under the boot-heel of the Reach anymore. So they revolted. Now, they've come to Earth to ask Jaime to be their leader. "Now we dedicate ourselves to the dismantling of oppressive control structures! to Bring freedom to all!" Among their list of oppressive states is: Kahndaq, North Korea and the United States. And their rogue powers and terrorist cells consist of the Justice League, the Justice Society, and the Green Lantern Corps. It sounds to me like these guys got a little whacked when they broke free of their oppressors. When Jaime tries to tell them that if he's not with them then he's against them. Jaime may be in for the fight of his life here. Seriously . . . now the book gets interesting? We couldn't have got this story-arc in maybe the first 10 or 20 issues? Oh well, like I said, at least it's going out on a high-note. Hopefully he'll contribute to the Titans. We'll see.
