Justice League #39 / by MELINDA Schmidbauer

We're back to J'onn and Gypsy.  J'onn says Gypsy means more to him than almost anyone else on Earth.  She reminds him of his long-dead wife.  Despero uses those feeling to make J'onn remember the awful times on Mars, when his family died.  It almost kills him, and Despero goes back to tormenting Gypsy.  He is just ready to kill her when Guy shows up!  He kicks Despero "from here to eternity."  But somehow I don't think that is really the case.  

In fact, Despero has landed in Long Island Sound, where Guy and the rest of the League catch up to him.  Despero proceeds to take out virtually all of the League and half of mid-town Manhattan (giving Beetle a nice compliment in the process).  It seems as though Despero has even killed Mr. Miracle.  But, the reader surmises, that wasn't really Mr. Miracle.  It was a robot Mr. Miracle.  That's why he was behaving oddly.  

And then, the ominous proclamation of J'onn:  to get rid of Despero, J'onn will have to DESTROY THE JUSTICE LEAGUE! What is J'onn up to?  I know he has some plan.  I just hope Gypsy doesn't get killed.  Save
