Synopsis- SPOILER ALERT!!! |
|
Vibe's
brother Armando is in jail for having joined the El Lobos, which Vibe was
himself once a part of. He bails Armando out but soon comes face to face
with the gang. They have recently inducted Armando and had gone on to Star
Labs for a theft, for which Armando was arrested. Armando sides with the
gang and they refuse to tell Vibe what is going on. Vibe warns his brother
that he wouldn't think twice about bringing him in if need be, in the midst
of insults from his former gang. He gets back to the Watchtower and
assembles a team to do recon in El Lobos' warehouse. As soon as the gang's
backer, Dr Sivana, reveals his entire plan, the league moves in and battles
the gang and Sivana's android- Mr. Atom, who he plans to use against Capt.
marvel in Fawcett City. A gang member attempts to shoot Ragman in the back
but Armando intervenes just as Vibe 'touches' Mr. Atom and brings him down
to pieces. After the battle, Armando realizes he has had a change of heart. |

Review
|
|
This is quite an
enjoyable issue. It does have the usual 'morals' tale, but this time the kid
front and center is part of a gang, not something the JLU comic has ever
tackled before. Also it deals with the first-person script in a lot of parts
utilizing Vive's character. This issue reveals a lot about what kind of man
Vibe is and how he has changed and how he doesn't want his brother to
encounter the same problems he did in the past.
Barberi's art is, as
always, stunning. With a great cover to match. |

Notable for |
|
- the full
appearance of Vibe.
- being the only
issue with a smaller Justice League logo appearing on the upper right side. |
