So, this series never had a chance. The plot continues to disappoint. A generic team of bad guys are doing bad guy things. Twelve issues and an annual and not one good antagonist. I do think Breakdown, had a good power set. Lopresti's art is still very good. Overall, this was as bland as bland could be.

This was pretty good, but it seemed like whenever Batman showed up he just totally dominated what was going on. Guy Gardner's (green lantern) constant bickering with Booster Gold got a little old after a while.
Either way, looks like the JLI is no more, so we'll find out what happens to these heroes in other titles.

After the explosion at the end of the last volume, a new lineup settles in, including Booster Gold, Godiva, Guy Gardner, August General in Iron, Batwing, and OMAC. Batman is also back to keep an eye out as the JLI face the Burners.
Most of the problems that plagued the first volume are back with a vengeance. The story is incredibly uneven and seems to be designed to cram in cameos to boost sales (Which failed since this is the final volume). The UN people appear briefly and then disappear at least. They scooted out most of the female characters, which is silly since we'd just gotten to know the team. As for the new members: I don't care much for OMAC and Batwing is better in his own series. The rest get some characterization, but it seemed they got less as the end got nearer. The Annual at the end is just a long preview for an upcoming Justice League storyline. This volume is all kinds of disappointing and was a poor way to end this series.

A breath of fresh air after the last GN I read.
Great art. A story that I could follow (until the end).
What happened to Booster?

A villainous cabal with a tired and pointless agenda who wreaks havoc on a team of superheroes - this feels a lot like 80s-era X-Men retreads, but without the reduction to talking heads necessary to make a socially relevant topic feel like it's more important than a fight scene. This collection begins with pointless death and injury, and kind of pours it on from there. We are never given a break from being reminded that this is the second-string version of the Justice League, and I really hope that this 'multiple Firestorms' thing is something that has gotten fixed with DC's Rebirth, because it's fucking ridiculous. All together, I give this kind of a "meh." If it weren't for the stupidly cliffhangery nature of the previous volume, this one has nothing to draw the reader.
