Justice League #13

This latest issue of Justice League gives us a little discussion of Superman and Wonder Woman's kiss, but the majority of the issue is focused on the league rallying around Diana to help find the Cheetah. Other than the group's short battle with Darkseid this marks the first time the New 52 version of the league has taken on a classic villain.

Cheetah may seem like an odd choice but the villain's magical origin does give her the upper-hand as it seems the New 52 version of Superman has kept the pre-Flashpoint's version of the character's weakness to magic. That said, the character has certainly gotten a power upgrade from the version from my childhood as she fights the entire league to a standstill without breaking a sweat.

It's not a great story, but it's certainly better than some issues the comic has delivered over the past year and gives several characters their own moments to shine. We do get some talk behind the scenes discussing the shakeup of the team as well as a back-up story involving Steve Trevor and Green Arrow as a lead-in to the upcoming series Justice League of America. For fans.
