Justice League #12

   Ah, it's the old bait-and-switch.

   You see, this isn't really an issue of Justice League (despite the team's appearance on the cover).

   The JL only makes one other appearance in the issue, in a single flashback splash page.

   Otherwise, this is given over to promoting the ongoing Justice League / Suicide Squad crossover.

   It focuses on a meeting (of sorts) between Amanda Waller (the force of nature that leads the Squad) and Maxwell Lord, the leader of Checkmate.

    We learn about Lord's rise to power and get a few hints about his future plans.

   It's not a bad issue - the story's interesting and the art is very good - but it's not an issue of Justice League, and that's what I laid down my $2.99 to purchase.

   Instead, I purchased an ad for a mini-series that I have no interest in.

   Thanks for nothing, DC.
