Justice League: Cry for Justice #3 (November, 2009)


In becoming more proactive against super-villains, the new team of heroes forming around Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Green Arrow Oliver Queen stumbled upon a conspiracy laid out by the JLA anti-Batman Prometheus that was building a body count. Meanwhile, in Opal City, the Shade began putting together his own squad… for justice! A fortune was read that indicated a great deal of additional heroes would become entangled in Prometheus’ plot, including Wildcat, Miss Martian, Manhunter (Kate Spencer,) the Guardian, Batwoman, Shining Knight, Hourman, Liberty Belle, Robotman, and others.

The third chapter of Cry For Justice, “The Villain” was by James Robinson and Mauro Cascioli. Credit for consistency, the book looked very nice, and the script was fun, but everyone was taking their time getting anywhere. The team formation was also less than organic, as they each cried… for… justice!

Is it me, or would most people familiar with the history of the Guardians and the Green Lanterns Corps give most people some pause. Hal Jordan has never been that close to J'Onn.

I'm not sure I follow on that first point.

Well, considering that the Guardians created the Manhunters (which proved to be a disaster), influenced Martian evolution that should give people some pause about the Guardians. Add in their distant nature, and perhaps one have to wonder why the Guardians and their agents get any sort of warm welcome from anyone.

Oh, just their general douchiness? True.
