This cover was good. We see Blue Beetle surrounded by a sea of women, all with bad haircuts. Okay, probably not bad for the late '80s. But still.. there is one woman (bottom left) who looks like she has a shag rug on her head. Fire's hair looked like this for a while. I can't believe that anyone's hair really looked like this. Short hair, yes. Long hair, no.
But back to the comic. We are back to Blue Beetle's story. Well, after a little dig at "The Human ..." DON'T SAY IT. It is Fire, who is actually green fire now. She seems better able to control the power after a little supervision from Barda. But there is still some worry about how long she can keep the flame on. And speaking of hair styles, both Flame and Barda are pretty bouffant in this issue. So Barda is still training Fire, and needs the mega-rod to do some work. She left it in the car, though, and then the car is stolen. Egads! So Scott, Barda and Flame go looking for it. Meanwhile...
By Beetle's hospital bed, where he lies in a coma, Batman brings in Kent Nelson/Nabu/Dr. Fate. Nabu abandons Kent's body, and goes into Beetle's mind. He finds Beetle trapped behind a wall (the Azreal Wall built by Queen Bee) and Nabu figures out a way to get him past the wall and back into ... Kent's body! Then it is a simple matter to trade back. Easy-peasy. The cover alludes to the fact that Beetle's mind is filled with women. Hmmmmm. Oh, and he fixes Booster's mind, too.
Back to the main story, Barda and Scott use the mother box to locate the stolen car, which has been crushed, with the teens who stole it inside! But not all of them. One of the delinquents has stolen the mega-rod, and used it to crush the car. What will happen next? Tune in to the next exciting issue of JLA!
