Justice League #56 / by MELINDA Schmidbauer

Breakdown, Part 7

I do think I might be missing some things, not reading the other parts.  I would read them, but the JLE issues are now about 300 miles away in the comic book lounge.  I think I will get them out when I get home.  Maybe it's time to start the JLE from number one, and catch up to this story line.  Especially if the JLA is all changed up.

And right now, it looks like it might be breaking up.  Beetle leaves to try to join the Conglomerate, Fire and Ice (Bea and Tora, now) are off to find modeling careers, Doctor Light never wanted to be in the League anyway...  Everyone has something else to do.  

Except that Beetle fails the physical for the Conglomerate.  Guy is living with General Glory, who is bringing homeless people in to stay.  Fire and Ice are rejected by the first agent they see, and figure out that they really miss the League.  In fact, everyone figures that out. 

J'onn is drawn to the cave the JLA started in.  When he arrives, he finds that Fire and Ice had that same feeling, as did Guy and Ice.  And finally, we see the JLE in the cave.  Everyone wants to reform the JLA.  

There was some good dialog here, but this was the best: 

General Glory:  Doom Patrol?  Sounds like a nasty bunch of villians.

Beetle:  Nah, they're not bad guys, just surrealists.
