And Then I Read: JUSTICE LEAGUE 23

The “Trinity War” crossover wraps up in this issue. I’d only read the first two parts of that, but it was not hard to figure out most of the story in this one anyway. Pandora’s Box is the center of attention, a force of corrupting evil, and what everyone wants. It’s also more than that, tying into other storylines. Everybody fights, of course, but there are some nice character and plot developments. Once again there is little resolution, only a lead-in to another crossover event. Writer Geoff Johns continues to mine old continuity and repolish, I kind of like that, but the lack of any sort of conclusion is tiresome. One might enjoy roller coasters, but only if you can stop and get off at some point. The art by Reis, Prado and company is quite excellent as usual.

Mildly recommended.
