Hey, I thought I posted this on Friday! I swear!
Invasion (Already another crossover!)
It's amazing what happens when you read 22 issues of a comic in one month. You do forget that it is two years worth of comics, and, of course, two years of SPECIAL! WORLD-CHANGING! events. This one is "Invasion."
I am not exactly sure what the Invasion is, but apparently the entire JLI, other than Oberon and Booster, are all off fighting aliens in Australia, with Wonder Woman. Booster has to stick around for monitor duty (really, during an invasion?), and since Oberon doesn't have powers, he doesn't get to go either. Although he seems keen to meet Wonder Woman.
Apparently, the JLI took the teleport to JLI headquarters in Australia, which means that the aliens can take it back to the US headquarters. For some reason, the head of the aliens in Australia decides to send tiny little soldiers through. Well, the tiny little soldiers manage to take out Booster fairly easily, but Oberon was a bit faster on the uptake and manages to get the upper hand, so to speak. He knocks out all the aliens with one of Beetle's "toys" and saves the day.
Meanwhile, in Australia, all the other (male) Leaguers are fawning over Wonder Woman. Poor Fire and Ice are feeling a little left out. But they band together to distract the invasion force while Etta Candy is rescued. We'd know what she was rescued from if I had read Invasion. Oh, well.
I thought the Daily Planet article/Ad was interesting. Kind of giving an overview of what one might find in the Invasion comics. It reminded me a little of the map DC put out for Flashpoint.
