Forever Evil ARGUS # 2 Spoilers - All of ARGUS' Secret Rooms

I've always been curious how many rooms DC's version of SHIELD has in the New 52 Universe and it gets answered in the most unexpected of places, FOREVER EVIL ARGUS # 2

What's in the issue:

- Deathstroke and his Society goons versus Steve Trevor
- A daring presidential rescue
- Dr. Light is still alive!
- Killer Frost and her longing for Firestorm

and of course, a nice reveal on how many rooms does ARGUS have in their disposal. I like the idea of the President having the only key to all the rooms. And to refresh your memory, we've already seen the Red Room which was where Batman brought Cyborg. There's also the Black Room which we first see in Justice League Dark. Here are the rest of the scans.

(Red Room, Black Room and the Circus)

They also have the Green Room which is a magical panic room for Obama.

Oh and there's one other special room that Steve Trevor likes to keep for himself... The Wonder Room.

It's where some Wonder Woman related stuff gets stored, partly as trophies and partly to remind Steve that once upon a time, he had Diana in his arms.

I want to know more about this. Hopefully DC Comics gets to focus more on this.

Justice League of America # 5 Spoiler Review

Justice League of America # 5 review by Geoff Johns and Brett Booth. This review was done in partnership with Comicx Hub and Castle Geek. 

In this issue, Catwoman's not so dead after all, Martian Manhunter confronts the mysterious big boss of the "Secret Society". Steve Trevor and the rest of the JLA including Green Arrow and Star Girl team up to take down the Shaggy Man. Green Lantern Simon Baz also joins the team. We also find out that A.R.G.U.S. agent Chronos is the power source for the Society's teleporting mansion.

On the Geoff Johns: It took five issues for the slam bang action to really kick into full gear. I should be mildly annoyed by such a long time but I'm going to let it slip thanks to the satisfying fights all packed in this issue. The tease is also killing us. Johns had the good idea of answering some questions but leaving readers with more. Like who is that pale man calling the shots? Who is the man still in the shadows? Where did the the Society teleport to? Still great exposition.

On the JLA fights: I just loved all the fights here in this issue. the first round between Hawkman and the Shaggy Man was very painful to watch though. But the moment back-up arrived, things just went swell.

On the apparent death of Catwoman: It sucked and it's also a very predictable plot point (which was also very neatly discussed briefly in the Matt Kindt written backup story featuring Martian Manhunter). It also sucked that none of the conspiracy theories that were released and revealed were true. Too bad.

And yes, it was the Martian Manhunter...

On the art: I do not mean this as an offense but I would really wait each month for the release of Justice League of America with Brett Booth on art duties as opposed to seeing David Finch's work. Finch's work is fine and all but it really doesn't suit the story and the energy of a title such as this. In short, I'm officially a fan of Booth's work here in JLA. Want to see more.

Finally, I know we've already seen Doctor Light in the teasers for Trinity War but this is the first time he's really going to show how he plays ball with A.R.G.U.S...

Verdict: 8/10

6 THOUGHTS ON JUSTICE LEAGUE # 13 - SUPERMAN SUPERFRIENDZONED?

I've been reading and re-reading this month's issue of Justice League (which was written by Geoff Johns with art by Tony Daniel) and it raise a few questions once more. Here are six thoughts about Justice League # 13.

1. Superman and Wonder Woman's relationship in limbo

The end of Justice League # 12 featured that controversial kiss between Superman and Wonder Woman. This issue picks up moments after that happened and its apparently obvious that it was just their loins dictating their actions at that moment. When Diana realizes what happened, she pulls back and leaves Superman behind. I thought that moment was a turning point for Diana and Clark? So how come this happens? Hmmmm.

(MAJOR FRIENDZONE MOMENT FOR THIS)

Some Thoughts on the New Justice League of America

I was checking out the only existing image of the upcoming DCnU book "Justice League of America" set for 2013 and I thought of several things about this interesting set of characters led by Team 7 member Steve Trevor.
