Well it actually makes sense if you think about it.

August General, Booster, and Guy all have personal defenses that would allow them to survive an explosion of that caliber. On the stage August was standing close to Godiva so it makes sense he was able to shield her with his body, as for her going into shock in previous issues it has been made clear that she is not an experienced hero, so i think something of this magnitude has probably shaken her. What happened to Ice made sense she used her Ice to lessen the impact but was still pretty screwed up, Vixen most likely wont be down for long since she can use her totem to gain regenerative capabilities of certain animals such as a snake or maybe a Starfish who knows. The only ones that surprised me were Rocket Red and Fire, you think his armor would be tough enough to stand up to an explosion, also the girl with the power to transform into a fire form, is suffering from burns.

This issue pretty much killed my already waning enjoyment of this book. As of right now, this was my last issue of JLI.

I'm actually more interested in this series now. I always enjoy seeing characters go through some adversity and come out stronger because of it. I particularly have my eye on Godiva because she seems to be having a difficult time adjusting to this role.
