You can't have a team book without have the occasional "break-up" issue.And just in time for the follow-up to Final Crisis, we see the Justice League of America breaking up. Of course, I think most fans were a bit shook-up by Grant Morrison's mini-series. Or at least confused.
So here we have the Black Canary trying to pick up the pieces left behind. The biggest problem, of course, is that DC is shipping off its "Big 3" to the hinterlands.
Superman is off to New Krypton, Batman is dead (no, really! Aw, c'mon...), and Wonder Woman... well, I'm not sure, because I haven't been reading her comic, but apparently she has to go back to Themyscria for some reason.
So Dinah (not to be confused with Diana) is left with the job of piecing together a new team. To complicate matters further, apparently Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) has plans of his own, which will be revealed in an upcoming mini-series.
I don't mind the occasional shuffling of the team lineup, but this is a pretty severe change for this comic. Here's hoping writer Dwayne McDuffie can make it work.
This issue sets the stage for the next round, but if I gave "Incompletes," that's what this issue would earn - it just sets up the story to come.
