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 # 6 Review
Review for last week's JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA # 6 by Geoff Johns and Doug Mahnke.
Picking up where we left them off in Justice League # 22, we find the two leagues knee deep in fighting after what Superman did to poor Dr. Light. The fight continues till Superman determines that he's had enough, thereby surrendering to the JLA while his teammates are shocked and confused. Things escalate while Wonder Woman is away in search of John Constantine and the rest of the Justice League Dark. Plus The Question finally makes contact with one of the League's trinity.
I've always applauded the premise behind JLA about a ragtag group coming together for Uncle Sam while aspiring towards the greatness that the Justice League has already achieved. Since it connected with Justice League for the ongoing TRINITY WAR, it gets twice the applause that I usually give it credit. And why not, it's got all the things you'll look for in a good book.
There's a lot of great character and story moments here. Plus it's dropping bombs left and right when it comes to what's going to happen next. Issue 6 also allows us to get inside the heads of some of the other characters and members of each league such as the female Atom and how she is slowly breaking down due to the pressure of being part of two Justice League teams (she's basically the Amanda Waller's mole inside the JL).
You may or may not like it but there's also a small part where Wonder Woman takes the center stage. She's written as a warrior AND a woman not wanting to see her lover suffering; this of course leads her right into the Society's plan. There's also the BROMANCE between Superman and Batman here as we even see Bats hanging around Superman's cell and looking out for his friend. I'm sure the yaoi/ fanfic loving female populace would be screaming with fangirl glee... maybe.
The payoff to this issue is good as we get a peak into what's driving The Question. Of course we're never treated to an origin but we certain read why he's compelled to do what he does. All those panels with The Question was EPIC I tell you.
Verdict: 9/10
Justice League of America # 6 is still available at Castle Geek and Comicx Hub (order your copy HERE).

Justice League # 22 - Who Dies? What Starts Trinity War
Spoilers before my official review for Justice League # 22 (which is part one of Trinity War).
Superman and Wonder Woman square off against Shazam... in Kahndaq no less...
The Justice League makes an appearance and tries to get Shazam (Billy Batson) to leave with them...
Then the Justice League of America makes an appearance as well.
It's during this encounter between the two teams that Dr. Light's powers decides to go haywire (which was allegedly caused by being near Superman, who is a living, breathing solar battery).
Check back in a bit for my official review of Justice League # 22 from DC Comics.
