On the cover it says "The Return (but not who you think)". I thought they were talking about the Royal Flush Gang, but apparently they were talking about the Batman shadow in the corner. I was hoping it wasn't really the Royal Flush Gang. Anyways, the actual 'return' is meant for Plastic Man. It appears that he's back in the saddle again. Unfortunately the Royal Flush Gang are actually back, also. So of course this story takes place in Las Vegas. However, this time, it appears that the Gang isn't following their own path but that of a leader . . or 'Wildcard'. We find out at the end that Professor Amos Fortune, and Roulette are pitting their players against one another. Fortune has the Royal Flush Gang, and Roulette is complaining because she was allowed the Justice League, but then only Red Tornado, Vixen, Plastic Man, Firestorm and Doctor Light showed up. Certainly not the a-list of heroes that she was expecting. There's a $25 million cash prize sitting around the casino, but after they fight the League nothing appears to be missing. However, they did have someone working on the inside and they stole the new nanotech that the casino was using for it's slots. Right now, nobody even knows it's missing. This was an ok story. It's only chapter one, so we don't really know what the Professor or Roulette are up to . . just yet. I liked Eddy Barrows' cover. Len Wein does the story, with Tom Derenick on art. Overall it was an ok book, but I always find things a little boring when it comes to the Royal Flush Gang. Maybe things will be a little different since they have a 'Wildcard', but . . I guess we'll have to wait and see. This issue didn't impress me much, but it also wasn't completely boring. It all just seems a little tame after the Cry For Justice book.
