Synopsis- SPOILER ALERT!!!

General Mendenhall enlists the Freedom Fighters to infiltrate the Watchtower and steal their computer logs, much to their disagreement. After the warm pleasantries with the League aboard the Watchtower, The Atom discovers Doll Man inside one of the interfaces and confronts him. Soon the leaguers in the Watchtower and the Freedom Fighters battle it out. Later, the heroes lay low and talk. Turns out Mendenhall was using the FF the whole time, and that the young Mendenhall the Fighters spoke with is not the real one.

Continuity Peg-

Continuity References-

The false Gen. Mendenhall sites the 'Lexor City' incident between Superman and Capt. Marvel (Clash), the attack on Cadmus (Divided We Fall), and the Thanagarian Invasion (Starcrossed) as examples as to why the Justice League need sanctioning. We also learn that The Ray from JLU is the son of the Freedom Fighters' The Ray. Green Lantern refers to this as events of 'last year'. References were also made to Amanda Waller, who the league still somehow doubt even after the events of the Cadmus arc and before her tenure as liaison (as seen in 'Epilogue'.)

Black Condor's design is based on his earliest comic appearances and not the modern ones wherein he sports long hair and stripped wings.

Logic Out The Window

Review

A very good post-continuity story. More soon.
