Three stars for the artwork. As ever with Justice League serials, and especially this one which involves time-hopping back and forth with members of the Justice Society, the story is all over the place. Characters jump about here and there, no one is introduced properly - a casual reader will be completely lost as to what is going on. There's a whole story featuring 2 characters trapped under a collapsed building - I have no idea when this is meant to be, how it happened, how it links to anything else in the story. A mess, but it does look nice.

This was nowhere near as engaging as the last volume.
I found "The Lightning Saga" storyline baffling and confusing to follow. On top of that... I just didn't really care about the Justice Society? Is this why I've never read much on Power Girl? That team just didn't grab my attention and they took up the brunt of that storyline.
Anyway, the issue with Roy and Mari was really well done. The art worked well for it, I liked the focus on Mari's guilt and her struggle with her powers going wonky. (Although... I would think drawing power from metahumans could be equally as useful as her animal powers).
The last issue was back to showing us what the League did outside of big battles, which was somewhat interesting. I don't care one way or the other about Roy's crush on Kendra. I was a bit confused as to whether they were implying he was in love with her? Because I don't think enough time has passed for that to be the case.
So, even with one great issue with Mari and Roy, this is definitely not a recommend for me. Definitely a step down from the last one.
