A pretty forgettable actionfest follow-up to some of the major revelations in "Identity Crisis", but some of the character work, particularly with Zatanna, Marian Manhunter, Green Arrow and Batman, is pretty decent, and the major, heartbreaking suspicion Batman reveals at the end of the story is so good it goes a long way towards justifying the entire book.

I liked this one, but it felt a bit rushed. I was worried that readers who had not read Identity Crisis might miss out on quite a bit, but the volume gives you enough background and summary to catch up. This was good because I have read Identity Crisis, but it has been a while. In the aftermath of the events from Identity Crisis, the heroes have to deal with the consequences of their actions, including a bunch of villains very pissed off over what the league did to them last time. You get to decide how ethical or moral the league's actions were given their desire to protect loved ones. The volume does end in a cliffhanger, as it is setting up for the larger Infinite Crisis event (a volume I have also read). If nothing else, a nice quick read, but it is clear it is just a story to set up something bigger down the road. (
