Lady Rage
The Story so Far
Batman helps everyone snap of there own personal pity party and the group follows Graves to Steve's sister's house. Steve's sister gets mad at Wonder Woman who then gets into a fight with Green Lantern. After settling down, the league finds out what Graves was up to after his family died and go to a place called the Valley of the Souls. Here each member of the league sees an image of someone they have lost.
Shazam! The man in the cave comes out and goes wizard of oz on us wanting to see the Wizard and Billy is transported to some fancy castle with no butler.
Hit
I have to say this is an improvement in the level of action we have seen so far in this most recent arc. The story this time makes sense and progresses along nicely. I like the potential of what we have seen of Graves' back story in this issue and how it could expand into a very grand scale.
There were some really cool panels during Wonder Woman's temper tantrum, along with some good humor. I feel like Wonder Woman looks better in this book than she does in her own.
Shazam! I liked that some magic related happened in the story this time. I was getting kinda bored with Billy's back story.
Miss
Last issue we were given the impression that Graves' misery trap was going to kill our heroes and then all of sudden they just will themselves back? I would have like a better explanation that Graves just wanted to torture them instead of kill them.
Steve's sister flips on Diana as soon as they show up. Blaming her for all that is happening to her brother. It came out of nowhere and seemed weird. Also weird, is how Wonder Woman continues this crazy lady trend and flips out on the Justice League. I know we are supposed to get that she cares but it seemed a little much for her to threaten to cut off heads.
The teams arguing and fighting is getting a little drawn out. They should be a better team at this point. In fact way back when, when Steve was talking to them via a web call, they seemed more like a group of friends than they do now
Your Job
I say this is worth a pick up if you have some extra cash. It's certainly better than the last 4 or 5 issues. I might suggest waiting to see if the ending of this arc is good enough to justify reading the whole thing.
