This issue’s a real return to form after the whole Millennium debacle. The cover alone is worth the price of admission, and the show inside lives up to every inked line. Despite having been gunned down by his secretary, Maxwell Lord appears alive and well, at least until he’s attacked by his own skyscraper. The League saves him, though, and then follows his paranoid ramblings to a fight with the giant robot known as the Construct. And as if those hijinks weren’t madcap enough, the whole show ends with a reveal of Metron sitting back in his magical La-Z-Boy and just daring the League to make him stand up.


In other good news, the backup story from the past few issues—the one that never made any sense so far as I could figure—seems to have been scrapped, and in rather anticlimactic fashion, the letter’s page has at long last been christened Justice Log.
