Justice League of America #5

Justice League of America #5
Well, I gave it a shot, but truly, this series is shaping up to be quite AWFUL. In this issue alone, Mari loses her mind, Roy sees Hawkgirl and starts blubbering, the entire league act like the densest asshats the world has ever seen, and Kathy exhibits precognition. Among other things. This is really...quite...bad. The only good part is where the new Amazo uses old panels of reddy in action to reboot himself. But even that doesn't really make much sense. This whole arc is turning into a huge incoherent mess. Besides which, does Meltzer expect this arc to be 12 issues long? And the art is merely competent.
Why can't anybody consider the possibility that Grundy isn't evil? Doesn't anybody remember that he was friends with Jack Knight? Why does Roy Harper wear a mask if his identity is publicly known, then wonder why people know his name? If Mari's talisman is so essential to her, then why wouldn't she wear it inside her costume where nobody could grab it? Ridiculously AWFUL.
