This upcoming month sees the return of your regular service as the Justice League titles get back on track after September’s zero month issues. Justice League itself is about the only title to kick-off a new storyline as it features the arrival of the new Cheetah and the fallout from issue #12′s Superman/Wonder Woman kiss. Justice League Dark concludes “The War for the Books of Magic” in a regular issue and its first 48-page annual. On Earth 2 the yet-to-be Justice Society continue their fight against Grundy and on Earth 16 Young Justice team-up with their Justice League to fight the power of Brainiac. A set of great stories, but I don’t think I’ll be the only person trying to remember what happened two-months ago in all those separate New 52 titles.
