After bringing together the weirdest, wildest, must unlikely Justice League roster ever assembled, the Dark Knight Detective has quit the team. Now itÕs up to Vixen, the JLAÕs powerful but unproven new leader, to give the group a reason to stay togetherÑwithout ending up at each otherÕs throats. She had better do it quickly, though, because one of the deadliest villains in the LeagueÕs history has just returned. His name is Prometheus, and he comes to the teamÕs Happy Harbor headquarters with a simple ultimatum: Vixen must face him in single combat, or everybody diesÑand with his new psychic ally Afterthought at his side, thereÕs no way he can lose. But not even a master tactician and genius-level strategist like Prometheus can predict the behavior of the JLAÕs own secret weaponÑthe Main Man himself, Lobo. When the smoke from their final showdown clears, who will be left standing? Find out in Justice League of America Vol. 4: Surgical Strike, from the acclaimed creative team of writer Steve Orlando and artists Hugo Petrus and Stephen Byrne, and featuring a special guest appearance by comics legend Kelley Jones. Collects issues #18-21 and Annual #1. ÒThe Justice League of America is backÑjust when we need it most!Ó ÑNewsarama ÒA strong effort with good pacing, fun dialogue and beautiful art.Ó ÑPaste Magazine

Vol. 4 of this incarnation of the League is notable for:

1.) continuing to feature interesting & involving conversations between our heroes

2.) overloading me with nostalgia for the late ‘90s by featuring two characters from that era.

Prometheus made his villainous debut in the very first issue of JLA I bought back in 1998 & Aztek was a member of the team during that same era. Both characters were Grant Morrison creations.
