This one starts with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold washing dishes at the Embassy to make up for stealing JLI funds to open the casino on Kooeykooeykooey (the disastrous results of which we saw last issue). They’ve been on work detail for two weeks now and Booster is tired of it. Actually, he’s tired of everything: being stuck in the past, not getting any respect, and being constantly broke. He finally freaks out and leaves. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Justice League America 37, Justice League Europe 13”

This continues the JLA/JLE crossover from last month, when the two teams were called to a village in Eastern Europe because most of the population had turned into vampires … or something resembling vampires, at least.

This one starts with the Spectre arriving at a devastated village in Eastern Europe. He was drawn there by mystic forces, but he can’t figure out why since there are no human souls left in the village … not even the souls of the dead.

This one starts with Fire flying around New York, enjoying the feeling of freedom and exhilaration that comes with her new power-shift. Yes, as I’m sure all of you guessed, Fire can now turn her whole body into living flame like the Human Torch (who she’s almost mistaken for) thanks to the after-effects of the alien Gene Bomb. But she doesn’t know the limits of her new powers yet, so she heads back to the Embassy where Big Barda is waiting to train her and test those limits.
