This is another example of my love hate relationship with this comic. I have always loved the concept of the Justice League but this is just not sitting well with me.
Now in this issue there was no McDuffy and Bene's art is tending to grate on me. The only thing that was keeping me reading this book was the back up features about the secondary characters (I mean secondary, What I should say is the characters that do not have their own comics) with this element omitted from this issue it really showed.
Problems with this issue:
* John's Green Lantern ring gets overpowered too easily. You have to remember that John's willpower is supposed to be greater than what the ring can handle.
* Where's Black Canary? She's the leader, She's on the cover but not in the issue. She has not been the leader since the creation of this comic (And I mean even from the Meltzer run). They need to fix this up or change the leadership.
And I didn't see any of those Black Canary biscuits on board either.

Good call on the Black Canary leadership. I hadn’t even thought about that, and that, along with the general feeling that this book isn’t very grounded, centered, or balanced, is a major flaw to the title. But I’ve actually been enjoying this storyline for what it is.
If you think about it, DC has not done a great job establishing any of its major titles since IC. JL, WW, Superman, Batman, Flash, and Action Comics have all suffered in one way or another. Not that they were all bad. Some did things that were experimental (Batman, Action Comics), with mixed results. I think Meltzer’s run on JL might have been alright if it hadn’t been the opening chapter for this title. There was too much pressure on it and it didn’t know what it was supposed to be.
And then the fact that Final Crisis is coming up is also a problem for all the premier books. They don’t have any room to breathe because we know, and the writers know, that something huge is going to happen in a few weeks that will reset it all again.
