Justice League Unlimted # 42


This was a fairly dark issue that begins with Queen being released from jail & ends with Queen returning to jail. She tries to go straight by doing community service, but Green Lantern ruins that by being judgmental, she hangs out with her old gang, and Wonder Women (who means well) is forced to leave quickly because of a Dam emergency–all of this stuff Queen uses as an excuse to return to crime. True, she does use her powers to ensure the creation of the Community Center which she was raising money for as part of her community service, but overall her return to crime is based on a complete inability on Queens part to acknowledge that she is powerless even with here fantastic fire powers.
The art is standard JLU stuff, nothing really jumped out–also, there are only two members of the League featured in this issue–which is a drag, I like when the entire team is involved–the final show down with the Royal Flush Gang could have used more members. I did like it when King made reference to the government gang using their name.
A good issue.
