I read the Justice League Beyond stuff, and rather enjoyed it. no exceptional Martian moments as I recall, but good comics none the less.

Wow, I had completely forgotten about those Harley Quinn issues.

A chessboard + Despero looks promising, I will admit...

Diabolu Frank said...

So J'Onn just shows up and says, "Hey, you guys needs some help with this?" And they're like, "uh... yeah." And so he does?

As I recall; He's definitely part of the team here, but it's still more of a Superman showcase.
