    To infinity and beyond

    Since its a new arc I'll give Hitch once again the benefit of the doubt but anyway the story already seems too convoluted (albeit more interesting than anything he has done so far in the book) and points towards being another disaster. Negative points for including aspects from his previous JLA series which I dont know if he left it unfinished

    The story just sounds ridiculous and over complicated; it seems a religious group from the future wants to erase all super powered people from history and existence so they set some kind of bombs through different time periods where superheroes appeared, still it seems that for this very important existence-threatening mission the alien girl who is the guardian of the timeline or something like that only recruited present time JL, and send each hero (except for Batman and Superman who were somewhere else at the time) to an unknown place and time to fight an army of unbeatable robot/creatures and stop a super bomb; meanwhile Batman and Superman find themselves also in an unknown place and time along with the Infinity Corporation (I dont who they are or what they do) investigating a time disturbance after they escaped a white light that was consuming reality, I guess?

    On the bright side, this issue has some of the best art the book has got since the Kindred arc and the situations in which our heroes find themselves stranded look interesting.

    On the wrong side, Hitch chose a bad moment to continue a plot he established way back around issue 7 when the JL went rogue and threatened the US president (it feels pointless to follow on that at this point after many other things have happened); the story is told in a non chronological way that although its not hard to understand, it was unnecessary as I think a more linear approach would have been better, also, the use of his concept of the Infinity Corporation from his previous JLA book without explaining anything about them doesn't help to understand whats going on
