Proving that there’s always time for sly, knowing laughter in superhero comics, this sequel to the superb revival Formerly Known as the Justice League (ISBN: 978-1-4012-0305-4) originally appeared in the monthly JLA Classified #4-9 in 2005 and found Max Lord’s Store Front team, pitifully re-branded “The Super Buddiesâ€, cracking wise and trying to get rid of obnoxious new neighbour Guy Gardner, when professional lack-wit Booster Gold accidentally wishes the team into Hell.
Apparently the only thing worse than eternal damnation in the fiery pit is being rescued by Gardner and the pneumatic, sarcastic Power Girl, although a brief detour in a skanky dimension with sleazy counterparts of Captain and Mary Marvel, Metamorpho and other old friends does come quite close…
Packed with laughs and lots of action, this tale even finds time for some moments of genuine tenderness and tragedy, so it’s absolutely vital that you read and own this. Your emotional stability depends on it…
