#15- What is up with trying to push the new Wonder Woman costume in the cover when we have the traditional suit in the story? I would love to think that the MJS story is all an imaginative martian's dream...oh well.

Our hearts continue to break for poor J'onn J'onnz as he lives through a future where peace and prosperity reigns in Mars (and the universe) thanks to J'onn who is now a Green Lantern. Everything is so perfect! His daughter is a Manhunter, his friends have all aged and are kinda happy! He has a dog! But, alas it's not to be, soon the JLA start getting murdered and J'onn starts freaking out. He manages to figure out that the bodies of the JLA have strange markings that resemble the markings on D'kay's boobs. This would have been effective IF those markings were not so sloppy in design. So it was all a dream and hopefully he'll kill D'kay because she's eeeeveeeeel and looooooseeeeee! Oh yeah, and Firestorm needs help what with the Black Lantern Firestorm being a dick.

#16- Aqualad's origin continues to mirror Superman's as Aquaman takes him to a grotto and they find a shell containing his origin and a costume. Turns out he's an experiment or a key to open and close the Bermuda Triangle. The Triangle is kinda like the phantom zone for exiled Atlanteans. Aqualad also gets nifty sword thingies like the Young Justice cartoon to focus his water shaping abilities. The highlight here is Aquaman trying to calm Aqualad down by calling three dead moray eels. Oh, Arthur!

Black Lantern Firestorm continues to be a dick, and takes the White Lantern (now kinda dirty!) to someone. Foreshadowing Alert: If the person hosting the Black Lantern Firestorm dies so does BL Firestorm! My guess? Jason's dad dies! Foreshadowing Alert: BL Firestorm can transmute organics (Normal Firestorm can't) My guess? Ronnie gets transmuted into something.

Ronnie and Jason keep bickering and they go nova and then into darkness. Maybe they restarted the universe, but who knows. My guess? Jason gets his girlfriend back because she was much nicer than his Dad.
