The Watchtower has fallen into Africa and now the team is forced to explain their involvement in this nation as well as dealing with its self-appointed leader.
Once again, this proves to be one of the most complex reads of the week.
Christopher Priest delivers a new chapter where he continues to put the Justice League in settings where all of their powers are basically useless. There's the classic social commentary that you could expect from a Priest story but as usual, he delivers a more compelling scenario than what you tend to see these days where several perspectives are put into question and all of them are explored in a pretty realistic way.
Speaking of realistic, the contrast of the JL having to deal with real life scenarios where there's not a clear solution is wonderfully done and this is particularly emphasized with the appearance of the Red Lion, he was a pretty minor character in Priest's Deathstroke but here, his potential is further defined basically as an anti-Black Panther who is much more cold and ruthless than the character that inspires him but still offers a quite logical mindset based on his background.
Philippe Briones handles the art and is really solid thanks to the expressive characters and clear storytelling.
Great issue, wish this could last forever.
