Not brilliant, not as good as JLI, but okay. Trying to recruit Firehawk for a JLI that may be cancelled seemed a little out of place, though.<br /><br />For me, having lots of Firestorms isn't a problem - sure, how it plays out in this series may still need work but the concept's pretty much the same as the Green Lantern Corps. Instead of 2 Lanterns per sector we get one Firestorm per nuclear-capable country. What's not to like as a concept?<br /><br />Just my two pennies worth.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519816290322068250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-57995444114277525482012-05-28T12:48:32.642+01:002012-05-28T12:48:32.642+01:00Too many characters spoil the comic.

I grabbed this because it continues from JLI (which I read regularly) but I was constantly confused as to what the heck was going on.Renohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706715472542842560noreply@blogger.com
