Justice League of America #39 - DC

We all saw the heroes and villains rise from the crypts of the Hall of Justice. So it was only a matter of time before they came back here to find out what was going on. Almost immediately Zatanna is confronted by her dead father, Zatarra. She asks the others to go and handle the rest of the resurrected because she wants to handle her father on her own. Plus . . she doesn't want to put them in the remote danger that magic brings with it. They fight for a while and then she takes them someplace away from the others. The rest of them wander through the halls waiting for something to jump out at them. Kimiyo, Dr Light is the first to break away from the pack. She senses the original Doctor Light in the building and wants to confront him on her own. Meanwhile the rest of the gang is left to face Vibe and Steel. This issue doesn't really progress the story very much. We all knew they were going to face these Black Lanterns sooner or later. And the only person in this group that may stand a chance of having any sort of effect on them is Dr Light. Although, you never know with Zatanna's magic. She may be able to pull something out of her hat. Anyways, the issue ends with everyone being attacked by their various 'family' members. James Robinson writes this book, but other than the dialogue there probably wasn't to much input he could add to the story. I'm sure everyone is on Geoff Johns' fixed plan here. So all of these 'cross-overs' are meant as filler until we can get to the final installments of Blackest Night. But I thought it was a decent book. Mark Bagley provides the art.
