Clearing Up Blocked Noses...
In this issue, the Justice League decide to clean up its past and with that, it comes included with the rebuilding of the headquarters, a new chairwoman, a new character name for Arsenal and added subplots. With this new issue, writer Brad Meltzer mixes old and new as he was always interested about the Justice League in space and was also a continuation from the original team who were modernised and with fewer iconic characters. He does a good job of separating the unofficial teams, and that is the three top characters, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman and the other team Black Canary, Green Lantern and Arsenal. He also has gotten rid of the other classic members of the JLA such as Martian Manhunter and made space for the characters that were at the core of the space JLA headquarters. However, he does not retell the story; he uses other elements from other DC eras. Other influences are also put in the story, such as references to the Outsiders and Red Arrow. Though other writers have done this history re-touch thing, Meltzer does it best in the shortest time.
Even though this issue was smartly written up, it’s just an issue to clear things up for the next issue. For new readers, this will be very boring, but will be very interesting for regular readers.
