Justice League of America #20

Ugliest cover of the week goes to "Justice League of America" #20. If I was shopping for a new comic, this cover would not reach out to me. The story inside is a bit of a mixed bag. It is a great story for "The Flash". If this story had appeared in his regular monthly, it would have fit right in...well, compared to Mark Waid's recent run this would have been a stand out issue. As a JLA story, it didn't really hold up. "Justice League of America" is supposed to be the premiere monthly from DC. It certainly is a top seller. This story just didn't reach the level that it should have. Dwayne McDuffie has had a rocky run so far on this title. I hope that he can refocus and put out a true JLA story with the characters facing something truly daunting. Otherwise, this comes off as another filler issue. Oh, Ethan Van Sciver's flash is pretty damn good.
