Skeets and Oberon join Ronnie Raymond, half of Firestorm, at the site of the former United Nations' sanctioned Justice League America Headquarters in New York City. The headquarters was destroyed by the Overmaster's second Cadre in Justice League International, Vol. 2, #65. This is Skeets' first appearance since Justice League America #87, and the first ever appearance of Skeets without Booster Gold nearby.

REVIEWS

Boosterrific Review: Writer Dan Vado manages to squeeze some significant character development into this action-packed issue, but it will be hard to notice buried as it is in the disfiguring art of Marc Campos. This book would be vastly improved if Campos had taken some drawing courses in basic anatomy.
