"The Descending Shadow"

And Luthor's Society is on the move in the JLU. I really thought Manchester was behind the attacks in the bar up until Dr. Psycho appeared...excellent.

So, the man in the pub, John Salisbury, was he The Hat? I always liked the idea of this character. Never got around to writing him though. Is he dead? Or as dead as comic book characters get?

Another appearance by the Crime Syndicate of America...seems awfully soon on the heels of the JLA/Avengers arc where they appeared, but...you can't keep good characters down...good bad characters down.

Cool! A blood thirsty Professor Zoom turning on the CSA...cool stuff. Love it when villains fight each other almost as much as I like it when heroes fight each other. Yes, it's a cliche...so shoot me.

Hmmm, the JLA attacks...hmmm, curious.

8.5 out of 10 cigars.
