I really like Brad Meltzer writing. I know some people hate Identity Crisis but I REALLY enjoyed it. So then this is like the follow-up and once again I believe Brad creatures believable dialog with strong character motives. He also has the ability to give B list and C list characters depth that makes you care about them.

This story mostly focuses on Justice League rebuilding. Batman, Supes, and Wonder are all just chilling talking about recruiting. As they're doing that we see Red Tornado dealing with his switch into a real human body. It's touching and the time we get to the part with his family rejoicing over his new body you have the emotions you need to get attached. Then of course, without spoilers, shit goes down.

What I liked: The dialog is very solid and everyone sounds REAL. huge plus. The art is very good and no complaints from me. Red Tornado's story is both filled with hope and sadness. Loved every moment with him. The ending is touching and sweet yet you still feel that the risk these characters go through is very very scary.

What I didn't like: Okay, to be honest, the whole Vex storyline and black lighting were kind of boring. They're only 1/5th of the story but they are there, and it slows down the pace a lot.

Overall this is another solid comic by Meltzer. So sad that this is about all he's done in the comic realm. I'd love to read more from him. Well least he made two great DC comics I'll always remember fondly of.
