Justice League #28 / by MELINDA Schmidbauer

Interesting...  this issue is almost completely unrelated to the story in the previous two issues.  Ice and Guy go on a date (first date, maybe last?).  Ice thinks Guy really has a nice personality under his gruff (slimy) exterior.  Fire tries to talk her out of it, but she is determined.  She thinks they are going to a Tom Sellek movie.  Instead, Guy takes her to a girlie show.  She is disgusted and walks out.  

In the meantime, the guy who owns the theater, and is also a criminal, is worried that Green Lantern means to take out his business.  When Guy shows up, he is convinced that GL is there to take him out.  So he gets up in his old supervillian costume (Black Hand?  Really?  Wasn't he a real bad guy recently?).  Here, Black Hand is sort of a wimpy character who surrenders pretty quickly to Guy.  Guy, of course, doesn't accept the surrender, and beats up Black Hand a little bit more.  Apparently, he even brings Black Hand down to Ice to offer her a few "licks."

We also learn that Fire's new abilities are the result of the gene virus (the whole idea of this seems to have since been forgotten).  She is now starting to resemble the Fire that I know from more recent comics.  And Barda is going to train her.  Apparently because Barda has all that experience of teaching on Apokolips.  Just what I'd want in a teacher....

I am anxious to see what causes Ice to give Guy another chance at dating, since I know they were an item for a while.
