So, despite the fact that I've been avoiding the current Justice League of America series like the plague, I'm a sucker for Carlos Pacheco artwork, so I picked up the latest issue, #21, this week. As well, it hooks into the pre-Final Crisis build-up with appearances by the Human Flame and his recruiter, Libra.
Okay, once you get through several pages of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman kibitzing in a secret-from-the-JLA lair (geez, have they learned nothing from the Meltzer bollocks?) -- and seriously, they're still doing it? -- you get to the FC relevent content, which is mostly Human Flame knocking over a bank branch in his old gear, and then getting the crap kicked out of him by Red Arrow and Hawkgirl.
Well, Hawkgirl, anyway. JLA's a bit painful to read (even with the Pacheco), but I was dutifully impressed with how capable Hawkgirl is, even after falling directly into the hood of a car from at least fifty feet in the air. Red Arrow, meanwhile, fails at life, but we knew that.
From there we get the lead in to the DCU0 issue's Libra segment, with the gathering villains -- still, really not doing anything that doesn't reek of the Hood's supervillain team-up from New Avengers, as has already been said.
Apparently Libra was up in a higher plane prior to this, and has vast powers at his disposal. Any actual evidence of this lately...? |
