Justice League International, Volume 2: Breakdown by Yildiray Cinar, Jason Fabok, Matt Ryan, Dan DiDio, Joe Harris, Aaron Lopresti, Geoff Johns, Dan Jurgens, Ethan Van Sciver
2.0
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.
