Break Downs, Part 13
This cover looks like a trip back to the Bwa-ha-ha's! Things haven't been especially funny lately, so J'onn and Beetle in a big cauldron is amusing. I think that's Power Girl tied up behind her. I am not sure how you tie up Metamorpho, though. Couldn't he just change elements and slip out of the rope?
In a side note, this issue must mark a point where Mark switched the kind of bags he was using for comics. Instead of being taped closed, this one has a line of adhesive all the way across, which is making it difficult to open. I wonder when he switched back to regular bags?
Not a lot happened in this issue. At least, compared to the last few issues. The League did go to KooeyKooeyKooey, where J'onn surrenders to Dreamslayer for the entire JLA. Apparently he surrenders to save the life of the chief of KooeyKooeyKooey. This is where I part ways with these superheroes. Do you really surrender to save one guy, when the lives of so many are at stake. We'll see how many people may die later, so the chief could live. Of course, it is possible that J'onn is already being mind-controlled by Dreamslayer using Max's powers.
Batman shows up at the JLA cave, where Sue, Cath, the injured Guy Gardner and Ralph are still present, just in time to receive a message from KooeyKooeyKooey showing all the JLA members there, natively dressed and declaring themselves "The New Extremists." That can't be good.
And we never got to see the boys in a cannibal's pot. Lying cover.
