Hm... in the above image, Roy's belt buckle doesn't appear to be an "R" like it was on the cover to #1... it kinda looks more like a "G"...?

Yeah, but which Red Tornado is that? The new human version or the rebooted robot? Interesting possiblities sub-plot wise. Looks like I'm onboard foe a while with this new book.

Well, there's always the Red Inferno (as mentioned in "52"). Considering we already have Dr. Impossible, it'd be interesting if Reddy's "evil twin" were also in on this.

I like where this is going, but the story itself doesn't seem to be as "big" as this over-hyped relaunch would indicate. I know Meltzer wants to emphasize the personal here, but the mystery around the threat doesn't allow for us to feel that what's happening is all that important and requires a new JLA to deal with.
I like the Canary/Lantern/Arsenal trio. They've known each other a very long time and it shows, but they've mostly been seen in how they relate to Green Arrow, so seeing them without Ollie is a nice change.
the Big3 sit in the cave some more, not doing much of anything other than coming off as pompous. We have Arsenal contradicting Wonder Woman about how good it would be to have Green Arrow, and all this other drama is unfolding while they just deliberate -- I can't tell if Meltzer wants to use them as building towards a climactic formation of the group or if he's really intending for them to come off as insular and a bit full of themselves.

I have to say that this is my harshest criticism of the whole series so far. We have been told that these three are back to being fast friends and that they have gotten 'over themselves'. But here we see them debating about peoples worth as if they were nothing more than tools to use and then stabbing one another behind their backs as if they were in Jr. High all over again. And the bit about handing Booster suit out to someone they deemed worthy was just wrong.
I like the Canary/Arsenal/GL team up but I didn't need JLA for this. I'd rather have Canary in BoP.

For me it was worth the price of admission to see Hal take out the Tornadoes.
I really hope things pick up next month though -- at least get the Big3 off their duffs and out of the cave already!

Meltzer's clearly taking his time putting the Big 3 into action, likely so the other members can get some spotlight time beforehand. It's a good idea, but I hope we see the whole team together fairly soon.

The tone so far has been fairly personal in nature, but with the one-two punch of what looks like Amazo and Starro (and god knows who else), it looks like some earth shattering *JLA* action is in the future (at least I hope so).

I'm really enjoying this book so far. I'm hoping they keep "The Big 3" out of action and more in mentoring roles. They've had their time..
Let Vixen, Arsenal, Reddy and the others shine!

While I enjoy the fact that the plot seems to be advancing without the Big3, I would prefer to see the team act as a *team* once they all get together. I think seeing the others fight alongside the Big Guns is what will make them look good. I doubt Meltzer will sideline Arsenal or Vixen once they're in the mix.

I would like Justice League to get beyond the whole Big Three picking who should be in the League.

So, is Roy calling himself Arsenal here? Does he wear the costume Turner draws on the cover, or his outfit from The Outsiders?
