I dunno how, but Sturges demonstrates a really unique ability in this book to tell stories that feel generally inappropriate for the JSA. You add on multi-issue slugfests and generally poor characterization, and not only did this book have not a lot to recommend it, but I decided I wasn't upset after all by DC's decision to omit the last volume of this series. This volume did have three saving graces: the death of Damage issue is pretty good; the attention to Infinity Inc. continuity in the second story is nice (though Sturges then tells us we should let go of it in a pretty heavy-handed way); and Cyclone's characterization in the last two issues is strong (though did we ever before know her power was based on nanites!?).
