I'm part of the problem, because I'm that guy that will buy JLA forever no matter how bad it gets, but I'm really hoping they get a story going as of next issue. I don't think I've *really* enjoyed an issue of Justice League since JLA #100 who knows how long ago.<br /><br />And I hope Vixen is sticking around in the new JLA lineup, or this ringer she just went through won't seem as significant.Patrick Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244280974612331889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-39819743734206979422009-12-16T16:03:08.939-08:002009-12-16T16:03:08.939-08:00It's been a while since I last read the Justic...It's been a while since I last read the Justice League main book. I think somewhere around issue 14 or something, it lost its direction and has been bouncing from uninteresting to very uninteresting. I haven't checked this Robinson story yet. Hopefully it's good. I miss enjoying this series.Christian Zamorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412716939916996287noreply@blogger.com
