The Infinitus Saga continues with Stargirl stepping up and talking some sense into both teams about the rather unheroic actions of killing a powerful child because of what he might one day turn into in one possible future timeline. The entire concept of the Legion of Super-Heroes heading backwards in time to commit murder has bothered me since the beginning of the arc rather than having the heroes struggle to find the more heroic thing to do, and I’m happy to see my favorite member of the current Canadian Justice League team be the one to step-up here as the cheap out of snapping someone’s neck appears to be off the table.
With all that settled there’s still plenty of action to be had as the two super-hero groups will combine resources to stop Byth from turning Ultra into a creature of mass destruction eventually responsible for the death of millions. With my need to cut back a bit on my monthly comic bills, Justice League United continues to straddle the line of worth picking up although this month’s beautiful Darwyn Cooke variant cover made the choice a little easier. For fans.
