Justice League International #8

I really hope they don't replace Vixen with Batwing.

At the end of last issue, everyone was in the hospital or dead. And then Batwing arrived to save the day! Or whatever was left of the day to save.

Turns out Batwing was in Gotham on business. And he immediately heard what happened to Vixen and immediately made his way to New York (or DC? I forget where this is taking place!) to visit her by her bedside. And she's already out of surgery and being allowed visitors. Or maybe he just snuck in because he's Batwing! Whatever. I don't care anymore. When this comic is being written well, I'll care about stupid details and plot points.

Let's try this again.

Oh! That's so sweet!

Batwing was in the country when he heard about his dear friend Mari being injured in a horrible bombing incident. He rushed to be by her side to give her as much encouragement as she needed. But then he heard a commotion on the roof and donned his Batwing gear to protect Mari! Little did he know he would be saving Booster Gold's white ass as well!

Oh! A gift! You shouldn't have!

Except it doesn't exactly go like that. Batwing gets blasted and falls off the building. So Booster has to save Batwing instead of going after the retreating Lightweaver. Isn't that just the way? And isn't it just the way for a brand new villain that nobody has ever heard of before to kick the asses of the entire Justice League? And even kill one of them! Poor Rocket Red. Killed by a nobody!

Meanwhile, across town, a prisoner is being taken by the military. This guy has been captured for trying to bomb the United Nations. Is this the guy that was driving the car that Godiva and August General in Iron stopped? He must be otherwise I don't know where he came from.

Don't forget how they want you to get married and have children so that you're stuck in the same endless routine and forced to keep a job to pay for everything your children need! Also how they want the population to continue to grow because the current economic model only works if new money continues to enter into it. So even though it's against the future benefit of our species to continue to grow the population, it's convenient for the present population and more than likely necessary. Also realize when people bitch about the populace being distracted by television and religion, the same goes for voting. Voting is the current opiate of the masses. It doesn't actually do any good but it makes everyone feel like they're making a difference and participating. Yeah. Don't forget all of that stuff, Mister.

This guy's name is Roland Norcutt. He escapes from the back of the military vehicle because he can "break anything down into its base form." He uses this power to decompose all of the soldiers and disintegrate the truck so he can simply walk away. He can then reassemble these parts into whatever he wants. He's working with Lightweaver and his villain name is Breakdown. I bet he cries a lot.

Lightweaver and Breakdown are also working with a woman named Intersek. Hee hee! I bet I could make a pretty funny joke about that! Intersek (man, I just can't take that name seriously!) can do the same kind of stuff that The Projectionist over at Stormwatch can do. So she's manipulating the press to make the Justice League look bad. Probably. They also have a wildcard set to strike! Oh! That's exciting!

Oh. Not that exciting.

Didn't this guy's comic get cancelled at Issue #8? Don't try foisting him off on this comic book! Why is he working with the Anarchists? Oh wait. That's a stupid question! Is Brother Eye behind this whole thing? Because why would Brother Eye lend out OMAC to some other guys? I take it Brother Eye has been the main enemy all along. I mean besides Peraxxus and his Signalmen.

I think 6 out of 8 Justice League International Comics have ended this way.

OMAC kicks Godiva, August General in Iron, and Guy Gardner's asses. I'm beginning to think that Guy is the worst Green Lantern ever! Which is pretty sad to think he's worse than Hal Jordan.
I don't even know why this comic book exists anymore! So they saved the world from Peraxxus! Batman could have called the Justice League to take care of that problem! So all the Justice League International has done is get its ass handed to it every single issue. Except that one issue where Peraxxus decided to flee instead of continuing to win. This is the worst Super Hero Team DC has ever put together. They should be called Justice League: Punching Bags. Why does Batman think the world needs these guys? Terrible. Absolutely terrible! Is this a joke by Dan Jurgens to see how long he can keep a group of heroes useless?

Justice League International drops another rank. I'm so disappointed in this title.
