Review: Justice League of America #48 0
Catharsis is reached in this JLA/JSA crossover as Jade manages to wrest Alan Scott, Obsidian and herself from the Starheart's control, thus satisfying her White Lantern labor.

Is it worth it? 0
Seriously, Robinson has a great story planed out for this crosssover, and turns it into this!?
