Justice League Europe #34 / by MELINDA Schmidbauer

Break Downs, Part 12

The fight is still going on with Despero and the combined Justice Leagues and the Conglomerate.  This is one tough dude!  But L-Ron and Kilowog to the rescue.  Blue Beetle is taking them in close, so the controller (in which L-Ron now resides) will be near enough to transmit.  At the same time, Lobo is getting series on Despero.  

Despero attacks Lobo, then runs at Kilowog, who activates the device!  And, pops, L-ron is in Despero.  The artist did a really good job here of showing the transformation.  Despero still looks like Despero, but (maybe because those wicked teeth aren't showing) has a much softer demeanor. Manga Khan has been watching this from orbit (remember, he hired Lobo to get Despero), and decides to go down and take a personal interest.  Manga Khan swears to help pay to rebuild New York, pays off Lobo and takes L-Ron/Despero and leaves.  

Remember KooeyKooeyKooey?  Yeah, we're going back to that story now.  Max (possessed Max?) is angry that Havok has failed.  Cath and J'onn figure out that Havok came through the tubes from KooeyKooeyKooey, and that Max must be involved.  They also figure that Max must be possessed by Dreamslayer, who was the only Extremist that wasn't a robot.  The Silver Sorceress confirms that it was indeed Dreamslayer. 

Power Girl seems normal (not moody, and actually looking girly).  In fact, everyone but Silver Sorceress seems to be feeling pretty good.  But is it actually Dreamslayer, who is luring them into a trap, making them feel like they can take him?  Because he has controlled all the natives of KooeyKooeyKooey to fight for him.  This will not be pretty.
