JLA 39 - Detroit fans only!

JLA DETROIT that is. 
 Another of the Blackest night tie ins, JLA #39 is a blast from the past... if your past involved being a hardcore fan of the so-so adventures of JLAD.
 I say hardcore because all of the Detroit members who everyone loved (Guy Gardener, Martian Manhunter, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Elongated Man, and Aquaman) fail to make more than a one page flashback cameo if that.
 Luckily, this issue isn't solely about the revival of Vibe (yeah. its ok. Don't worry about it). There is a superbly satisfying magical duel between Zatanna and her reanimated father Zatara. And even though we only see the start, Dr. Light vs. Dr. Light! A match i personaly have been waiting for since Dr. Light the Mr. went up against every living character who ever rallied under the Teen Titans Banner.
 Still, i feel like DC should know that you cant make a successful JLAD story without the SUCCESSFUL JLAD characters. What cold have been a 5 is now a 3 1/2.

The answer, "No." I'm loving seeing Red Tornado, Plastic Man, Vixen, Zatanna, Gyspy, and Dr. Light put to the test against the undead even as they remain in such a disheveled and battered state. Zatanna and Dr. Light are most definitely forced to face their fears as they battle their reanimated predecessors who possess equal powers to their own. I...

Oh, no, they aren't zombies, Zatanna clarifies for us, as the team blunders into their now spooky and desolate Hall. They're evil, and they eat hearts, but they're also smart. So, like zombies then, but with extra added head games thrown in.I'm not asking for much from Blackest Night, as I'm not reading it except where it shows up in titles that I already buy. So all I want is that it not screw up things too badly, and maybe provide a little zombie thrill or two. The formula, in the books I've c...
