Synopsis- SPOILER ALERT!!! |
|
Some leaguers save people from a building
that is set on fire by an arsonist. Blue Devil attempts to save a little
girl and her mom but they are frightened of his appearance. Shayera (a
contrast to Devil) rescues the family instead. Later, on board the
Watchtower, Blue Devil seeks the assistance of Dr Fate to change him back to
human form. Fate says he is unable to help him now as he is a true demon,
and that had he come to him in his previous human form he might've been able
to help. Blue Devil reveals that he just wants people to no longer be afraid
of him. Both get dispatched to a battle with Dr Destiny with some other
leaguers. Dr Destiny has held a school hostage with nightmare constructs.
While the leaguers fend off the constructs, Blue Devil goes after Dr
Destiny. Dr Destiny attempts to scare him with his own nightmare but it is
revealed that his form already IS his worst nightmare. He defeats Destiny
and children in the school are excited meeting him.

Continuity Peg- |

The
issue occurs between
JLU-3:02 Shadow
of the Hawk (where STRIPES appears in a new suit) and JLU-3:03 Chaos at
Earth's Core (where J'onn takes a leave of the league). |

Continuity References- |
|
Dr Fate's Watchtower
quarters is a portal to his tower in Salem.
Blue Devil was never
featured in the show. The writers fleshed out his origins here. He was a
stuntman had encountered a demon who bonded him to a 'devil' suit. He died
some time after and came back as a real demon.
Dr Fate tells Blue
Devil of an incident wherein Superman attempts to save a girl from a plane
crash, but the girl is fearful of him.
The Watchtower and
Shayera Hol are now correctly drawn.

Review
|
|
By now, it's sunk in
that the Justice League Unlimited Comic likes to handle things by focusing
on one member at a time. Here we get a taste of Blue Devil's pain and how
the world views the 'devil' in the league. We also get a good view of his
origin and other details.
