The feelings General Glory inspires in me are…mixed. I think he was useful as comic relief in the JLI’s last year-and-change, when the stories were otherwise leaning toward heaviness. I don’t miss him at all, but I think he’s fun in small doses.
A five-issue introductory arc is nobody’s idea of a small dose, and “Glory Bound” has some logical flaws on top of that. But Giffen and DeMatteis are interesting even when they go astray, Linda Medley knows her stuff, and the plot gets off to a promising start.
( Like the priest at Mister Miracle’s funeral, this is a Kirby tribute that I suspect left Kirby more annoyed than gratified. )

After defeating the Extremists, the JLE is confronting a new reality: they’re popular with French people now.
( Not Nutella popular, but at least egg mayo popular. )

This series is just so much better than 'main' Wonder Woman, isn't it? Look! Giganta's even crushing the logo on the cover! I think that's neat!
Not included in the following scans: the use of sound effect 'YEET!'

The series ends. Things seem to wrap up rather quickly, but it still finds time for Batman helping Harley Quinn get over Mister J, and the Most Intense Laser Battle Ever.

JLA #36 had introduced the Scarlet Skier as herald to Mister Nebula, an obvious Galactus pastiche who brings his “gift” to all worlds. A “gift” not of death, but of decadent design. He hungers…for kitsch.
( Of course, one has to work extra hard to convey DELIBERATE kitschiness in superhero comic art. )

An extra JLI-adjacent feature inspired by your…yes, YOUR…comments on the Conglomerate in Justice League Quarterly #1! ( Really, it's almost as if YOU wrote this! Or at least as if you told ChatGPT to do it! )

Last time, Eliza Hellbound tried to drag the world into Hell. Heavy died fighting her.

Here we go! Uh, for page limit reasons I will skip the opening action scene, but I think the after-action debrief summarises it well enough...
