The Question: All Along the Watchtower #3

After stumbling around trying to figure out who is behind the odd events on the Justice League Watchtower, while another hero continues to do the baddie’s dirty work when a possessed Nightshade takes down both Blue Beetles, laying the groundwork to free the person behind everything, the Question is too late as the villain reveals himself in the final frame having successfully breached the tower and having all the heroes trapped and at his mercy.

Renee Montoya continues her new job as the sheriff of the Watchtower which turns into even more of a hairball on day two. First, someone lets loose one of the deadlier animals from the Watchtower’s Menagerie. Second someone appearing to be Batwoman, takes the beast to the Question’s quarters to loose it onto one of the Challengers of the Unknown who it almost mauls to death. Oh, and when that fails, the Eradicator shows up with a stolen power ring for a second murder attempt

Justice League Unlimited #1

Taking a page from the Justice League Unlimited TV-series, Justice League #1 reboots the Justice League as a worldwide group of heroes helping to fight threats around the world from the Watchtower. After a quick tour of the tower by the Flash for newbie Air Wave, a group of members (Superman, Wonder Woman, Black Lightning, Firestorm, Kid Flash, and Star Sapphire) is sent to deal with an issue in South Africa involving a terrorist group calling itself Inferno (who it appears will be sticking around for awhile).

Blue and Gold #2

Blue and Gold #2After being rebuffed by the Justice League, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle set out to make a name for themselves. As with most of Booster Gold’s ideas, things don’t exactly go to plan. The heroes are able to recover some stolen Kord technology but also earn the animosity of the company’s board leading to Ted Kord’s exit. So much for them picking up the duo’s super-hero bills.

While it might not be as strong as the opening issue, writer Dan Jurgens and artist Ryan Sook still offers some fun to the pair’s antics (with a toned down social media prescience commenting on Booster’s livestreaming heroics).

Ted’s removal from Kord Industries certainly puts the pressure on our heroes to make their own way going forward without the financial backing and high-tech gadgets at their disposal.
