Well that was a misleading title.
Be warned, this story has little to nothing to do with A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The plot felt very convoluted, basically the members of the Justice League do not remember their superhero selves while most of the population is 'sparking' (gaining various super powers).
Basically, the villain was lame, the climax and resolution were boring, and the art was very inconsistent.
Overall, I would not recommend this story, the characters felt flat and the plot was stale. The highlight of the comic are the scenes with Martian Manhunter on Mars with his family that he lost when he was ripped away from them by a scientist on Earth. But even the awesomeness that is J'onn can't save this throwaway plot line.

I was actually somewhat surprised by the reveal that Mars and his family was a hallucination and moved by his desire to remain within the fantasy rather than rejoin a reality without his family.birdmanseven's review

Pretty good story. It made good use of the whole team. I appreciated the Tim Drake cameo, but am subtracting a star for Clark's pony tail.

I have always preferred Waid's work on the JLA to Morrison's and this is a perfect example of why. A brilliantly nightmarish tale both acknowedging the history and working towards the future.
