This issue is pretty good. We find out Solomon Grundy's plans about gaining the powers of Amazo w/ Red Tornado's adroid body, so he can become immortal. This is because Professor Ivo doesn't want to be a part of the "thirteen" and wants to finally die. At the end, the JLA was standing in front of AMAZO on the last page ready to fight him. This is a good transition to JLA #6.
What did you guys think of it?

I think they're trying to tease a fight, but that's not what'll happen. Those two will probably go off and do something that'll be instrumental in Amazo's defeat or somesuch like that.
I liked Roy and Kendra. I see romance in the future for those two and given Hawkman's feelings for Kendra plus his SERIOUS dislike of Green Arrow I think it'd be interesting to say the least
I love this book right now. I like Brad Meltzer's writing style, it actually makes me care about the characters. Plus, i am luving Ed Benes' art, he is fantastic. I hope that have a very long long run on the book. Great book, not as good as say Identity Crisis, but has a lot of potential.
Gender: Male Location: Hiding from The Doctor, shhhh.....
I must say, Grundy has good taste in suits. Very little action, but great dialogue. I like the overall plot direction. More action looks like it's coming up. Also, isn't Grundy quasi-immortal already? Isn't he some kind of zombie that ressurects everytime he gets killed?

Roy's and absolute player, i see him getting into everyones spandex by the end of the series, with the exception of Black Canary, whose basically his mother. (That includes Hal)

Well I know that but somehow I don't see him jumping in with Kendra for one night then never calling her again. I'm thinking relationship for this too (though given Roy's history I can see why this is hard to imagine)
Yes, she would probably Neuter him, if he did that. The same applies to Dianna, Metzlers did say something about trying to develop the relationship between her and Bruce. Although i predict it wont last , as Metzlers run is only 12 issues.

I like this book a lot but it would have been better if the Big 3 didn't spend 3 issues talking around a table. The same thing was done with the same effect in JSA and it only took a couple of pages. Meltzer's dialogue is excellent but my patience for his storytelling style wears thin.
