Rating: 2 out of 5 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #4 This is pretty messy and it feels like this issue in particular is really losing its thread. ![]() This issue brings Captain Carrot into things, which is wild and kind of fun, but everything is zany just to be zany and so much so that it makes any introspection or story taking place really hard to dig into or take seriously. never really going anywhere with it, gaining no real character over time and, in this case, doing it in the most chaotic and hard to follow way possible. While the art in Harley Quinn #30 is great and a lot of fun, as this particular run continues with this issue, one can't help but get the feeling that we're just continuing in a weird cycle of Harley writers having her do the same tired trying to find herself over and over and over and over just in different ways but.

Superman and the rest of the Super Family go to some extreme measures in order to find Tracy Corben – and that means more than just teaming up with Metallo.
