I'm not so sure that writer Geoff Johns manages that in this issue of Justice League, but this issue is focused more on setting up the latest adventure, which centers around a new version of Wonder Woman's villain, the Cheetah.
It's a way of addressing the question: why doesn't the League work together all the time? The answer, of course, is because they can sell more comics that way - or, if you prefer, they can tell other, more interesting stories with different characters - and the League members aren't exactly joined at the hip.
At any rate, it's a fast-paced story that's part personal discussion (let's not forget that kiss between WW and Superman) and part action sequence as the members of the League take on an amped-up Cheetah.
The art this time is by Tony Daniels, and it's quite good, especially in the frenetic action sequences. His art can get a little too busy in places, but that's a very minor complaint about a very talented artist.
Not a bad issue at all, with a good cliffhanger ending - but I was expecting a more worthy menace. But it's too early to judge - this one still has time to grow.
Grade: B+
