First off...I loved this cover! Wow! Beautiful.
This book had more action than some of the others...I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Karate Kid and Triplicate Girl search for a cure for Karate Kid and run into a security guard/cyborg that bragged about fighting Superman. Not bad...Karate Kid is bad ass.
Jimmy Olsen starts to try to join the JLA...against Batman's wishes. This was painful to read.
Mary Marvel was being taught magic by Zatanna until Mary threw a temper tantrum and started attacking Zatanna...Eclipso shows herself to the readers as pulling Mary's strings. Very good fight...in my eyes...even though Zatanna held back.
Jason Todd, Bob the Monitor, Donna Troy, and the new Atom fight bug monsters wielding magic...the heroes are defeated and someone off panel takes the new Atom's baton...I have no idea who...this was slightly boring compared to just the usual boring.
The Trickster and Pied Piper are captured by Poison Ivy until Trickster tricks her (this was stupid) into letting them out and then her partner shows...Deathstroke...I am a huge Deathstroke fan if he is done right...I believe he will be...
Finally Deathstroke's origin...very very very well done...
A lot of kudos for this book.

Okay, first I will start off with the Karate Kid, Triplicate Girl storline. I am a big Legion Of Superheroes fan, so I just enjoy that they are included, but to show KK being this much of a bad ass, well that was just some good frosting for the cake. I was never a fan of the Atoms, tiny world saga, so the story there is not holding me as much as the others. It isn't bad, it's just not as good in my less than humble opinion. My favorite story of this entire series so far has been the Trickster Pied Piper story. Here it is just brought to a new level of fun. The meat and potatoes however goes to Mary Marvel Vs. Zattanna. A good battle, but I would like to see Zattanna really go off on her. A good book over all, there were a couple of pages given to Jimmy Olsen I didn't mention, they were brief and a bit of a throw away, but still fun.
