President Luthor has Qurac on his hit list, and heaven help any hero who stands in the way! Now Superman finds himself in a living nightmare as his fellow Leaguers fall one by one to Lex's executive order: support the war or be "neutralized!"
Looking up at the review I've just written I can see that I've displayed a little too much hostility, and while I don't want to sound like I'm backpedalling, or making an attempt to sit of both sides of the fence, I will say that in the end this is simply a comic book. I guess most of my displeasure with this issue is that one of the primary reasons I read comics is for escapist fun, and if there is one DC title that I believe should be all about entertaining its audience it's the JLA. I don't want to be preached at, or pandered to in my comics, and frankly Joe Kelly really needs to get down off his soap box.
