Another Fine Mess! Justice League Europe #3 Cover Date: June 1989 Released: 25th April 1989 ⋅ Writers:  J.M. DeMatteis / Keith Giffen ⋅ Pencilers:  Bart Sears ⋅  Inker:  Pablo Marcos ⋅ Colourists:  Gene D'Angelo ⋅ Letterer:  Albert DeGuzman ⋅ Editors:   Kevin Dooley / Andrew Helfer Continued from  Justice League Europe #2 . We start with a quick recap of the last two issues, revealing that our heroes are clued in that those they were fighting were formally part of the Global Guardians. Flash is his normal irritating self in a, which I think of a Josie and the Pussycat moment. Yeah, I know no one cool will get this, basically, one of the characters (Alexander, no really I didn't need to look it up :D ) states she is in the movie because she was in the comic book! No, really the movie is fun, go look it up! The team basically splits into three-ish groups, a bunch of them go off and do nothing so we can ignore them! Captain Atom meets a Frenchman who's pro-JLE, his not being

Somebody Up There Hates Us! Justice League Europe #2 Cover Date: May 1989 Released: 28th March 1989 ⋅ Writers:  J.M. DeMatteis / Keith Giffen ⋅ Pencilers:  Bart Sears ⋅  Inker:  Pablo Marcos ⋅ Colourists:  Gene D'Angelo ⋅ Letterer:  Bob Lappan ⋅ Editors:   Kevin Dooley / Andrew Helfer Continued from  Justice League Europe #1 . We start on something a little unusual, Captain Atom out of costume pondering the events of the previous issue. Flying back to the embassy he jokes with Catherine about how well things are going before getting Sue's help on looking up Neo-nazis and fringe groups, apparently, Sue is the resident hacker (for the 80s at least) hence her being accepted to the help on the team. In probably the least realistic (sadly) part of this story about superheroes there are only three such groups existing, though she does look for groups with metahumans I guess? He then summons the other heroes, including our reason to be here Pee Gee who still it seems to be the CEO o

Putting it Together Worlds' Finest #11 Cover Date: June 2013 Released: 3rd April 2013 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  Ken Lashley / Barry Kitson / Robson Rocha ⋅  Inker:  Ken Lashley / Barry Kitson / Wayne Faucher ⋅ Colourists:  Matt Yackey / Hi-Fi Design ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Anthony Marques / Mike Cotton / Eddie Berganza Continued from  Worlds' Finest #10 . We start by picking up on Huntress following up on the Apocalypse Weapon Pee Gee picked up on her African adventures, investigating a weapon's warehouse in Mali. She kidnaps one of those involved in the arms trade tying him up and apparently interrogating him, though we don't see any of that. Apparently, some of that stolen Wayne money has ended up here, because now we're putting all the storylines together. Kara however is in her civilian identity as Karen Starr attending a business conference in Las Vegas, along with her long-suffering assistant Somya Spears, who as normal looks

Some Things You Can Change, Some You Can't... Worlds' Finest #10 Cover Date: May 2013 Released: 6th March 2013 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  Kevin Maguire ⋅  Inker:  Kevin Maguire ⋅ Colourists:  Rosemary Cheetham ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Anthony Marques / Mike Cotton / Eddie Berganza Continued from  Worlds' Finest #9 We start with Helena investigating Michael Holt, aka Mr. Terrefic, Pee Gee is investigating one of his Silicon Valley laboratories by tunneling underneath the ground and setting up a mini earthquake. It's funny to me as I've been reading old Supergirl comics and when she was still a secret she was always tunneling underground! Being a little irked at the raid on her island she is also here to cause a lot of property damage. Kara may have been a little too keen on the Earthquake as it causes an earthquake and fissure in the nearby area. Despite the desire to cause damage, she's still a hero at heart so rescues a car that

Raid Worlds' Finest #9 Cover Date: April 2013 Released: 6th February 2013 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  George Pérez / Carlos Urbano / Yildiray Cinar ⋅  Inker:  George Pérez / Carlos Urbano / Yildiray Cinar /               Phil Jimenez ⋅ Colourists:  Hi-Fi Design ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Anthony Marques / Mike Cotton / Eddie Berganza Continued from Worlds' Finest #8 . This episode is about a raid on Starr Island, it's not really more complicated than that. Though that doesn't make it a bad comic. We literally start with our high-tech raiders breaking into Kara's island offices. Still recovering is Helana who straight away suits up to stop the attack, whilst one of her arms is still in a cast. She has some success with the raiders, taking one down straight away before hiding from their hi-tech rifles. We also get Somya, Kara's long-suffering assistant, showing up and also defend the offices from these invaders. A little less dressed

Hunt and Be Hunted Worlds' Finest #8 Cover Date: March 2013 Released: 9th January 2013 ⋅ Writers:  Paul Levitz ⋅ Pencilers:  George Pérez / Carlos Urbano / Cliff Richards ⋅  Inker:  George Pérez / Carlos Urbano / Cliff Richards ⋅ Colourists:  Hi-Fi Design / Rosemary Cheetham ⋅ Letterer:   Carlos M. Mangual ⋅ Editors:   Wil Moss Continued from  Worlds' Finest #7 . This is another two-headed issue, with half the story being about Helena and half about Kara, though the stories are linked together into a single narrative. Basically, someone has put a bounty on Huntresses, due to issues in her previous solo title, being the '10 it's also very based around a "rouge" Middle Eastern nation, this time the fictional country of Kufra. It's not the most egregious of depictions, but it's still a product of its time. And boy do I feel old talking about the 2010s being something to look back upon! We start with Huntress in New York being attacked by two assailants,
