Is this really the end of the League? Well . . it appears that it's the end of the League as we know it. There's a mini-series coming up in July, Justice League: A Cry for Justice, in which Hal and Ollie go off and form their own League. For the sake of this story, that apparently has already happened. But what happens there isn't really important to this issue. This issue is all about Dinah trying to figure out where she's going to go from here. At the end of this issue it appears that she's about ready to give up. The problem is, all she has left is John Stewart, Zatanna, Vixen and Doctor Light. Well, Carter and Kendra will be joining once she gets out of the hospital. She's also trying to get a hold of Red Tornado, and if need be . . Firestorm. So it's not like they're down to the last 2 or 3 people. But . . they have lost all the heavy hitters. Batman's gone obviously. Wonder Woman and Wally say they have other obligations. Superman is heading to New Krypton so he won't be around. And then there's a few others who have just decided to bow out. But really, I think, the biggest thing that Dinah is feeling right now is abandoned. She can make this work . . and with future events, she may have to, but right now . . she doesn't know how. I think Dwayne McDuffie has really found his groove here. I really feel like he's starting to get a hold of these characters now. It's taken him a couple of issues to get things where he wants them, I think . . but now . . now I think he's ready to roll. I'm sorry to say that Ed Benes doesn't do the art this issue, but . . Shane Davis does a more than adequate job of filling in. Man I love this guys work. Overall this was kind of a sad issue, but . . I think it's the calm before the storm.
