I'm disappointed. After all the buildup (which I've already talked about at length in my reviews of all five JLA: Rebirth one-shots), I was at least expecting a more intricately build plot from the main book. Instead, we got this. I really have to wonder what point there is in having full issues devoted to setting up characters, when very little of what was in them carries over. I guess one would have slightly more context for the clumsy exposition when it's still thrown in, but that's negligible and inapplicable to those already familiar with the characters. Honestly, I'm amazed how lackluster this turned out to be. I went from "hopeful of the possibilities presented by this team up" to "might not even keep reading" in one issue.
