Unfortunately it appears that Ed Benes is no longer on this book, but . . he does do the cover. Somehow I got this earlier black & white version. I actually like it better than the finished one, so I went ahead and left it here. Right now it appears that we have an interim team. With the 'big 3' going off to do other things . . some good, some bad, some alive, some not . . and Hal and Ollie starting their own splinter of the League, Dinah felt that she had no other choice but disband the Justice League of America. "The Hall of Justice is open for tours, and still fully funded by the Justice League Foundation. The Watchtower is shut down to traffic. Communications and database access are still available to anyone with active JLA credentials. Oracle's coordinating." However, there are still some members that are fully committed to the League. They include Dr Light, Firestorm, John Stewart, Zatanna and Vixen. Red Tornado said he would come back after taking care of some personal business. And the rest of the group is hoping that Dinah will see their need for leadership and come back as the chairperson. Which it looks like they'll be needing sooner than later. After the Shadow Cabinet restored Dr Light's powers she agreed to go to the Shadow-Thief to try and figure out how he was able to access the Dark Matter that he stole from their teleporters. So she and Firestorm have gone to Van Kull prison to confront him. The problem is . . he was really just a conduit. All of this time he's actually been in service of Starbreaker. At the end of the issue, Starbreaker and the Shadow Thief escape into the shadow realm . . with Dr Light hot on their heals. "We have to go after her! You don't understand John. We have to go after her now! She just jumped into the Shadow-Thief . . and she's afraid of the dark." Maybe it's just me, but I think that Sean McKeever is doing a better job with these stories now that he doesn't have to write about any of the 'big-guns'. Maybe it's less pressure, or maybe he just has more fun with these characters. Their images aren't as set in stone so they're easier to play around with . . a little. I really liked the interaction between the characters. I also enjoyed Rags Morales' pencils. But then again . . I always do. I think the guy is incredibly talented. Overall I liked the book. Sure it's not the 'heavy-hitting' League, but . . it's still the League.
