Guy Gardner and Lobo on the cover! And an extra (FREE) 16 page second feature. Note that it was EXTRA pages at NO extra cost to the reader. Not an ad. Not a preview for another comic. An actual extra story.
Amazing.
Poor Barda. The JLI has used a boom tube to try to follow the Cluster, but they picked the wrong jump choice. Barda almost knocks a hole in the hull. Just as J'onn is preparing to jump them to another location, the Cluster arrives. Apparently, a boom tube is quicker than a hyperspace drive.
I really like Manga Khan. This is the third or fourth issue he's been in. He talks to himself. He yells or shouts. He names his robots after SF writers. He's a walking cliché.
In this issue, Manga Khan hires Lobo to kill the members of the JLI who are following his ship. Now, I really dislike Lobo. I tend to skip comics where Lobo was featured. But I am committed to the JLI! And I am sure that Lobo will be written to fit in here.
Wait, Lobo feeds interstellar dolphins? I kept waiting for him to attack and/or eat the dolphins, but he is actually collecting his pay as dolphin food?
So Lobo attacks the JLI ship, and the crew manages to hold him off just long enough for Barda to send him through a boom tube to...somewhere (let's guess where). Manga Khan hyperspaces out to Apokolips to trade Scott Free off, and then...
We flash to the JLI headquarters back on Earth, where there is a huge explosion, which knocks guy off his chair and --- poof -- he is back to his old, "thoroughly rotten" self. Next we should see how Fire and Ice, especially Ice, react to the new (old) Guy! It's about time!
