SUMMARY:
Published by DC Comics for November 2008, this second installment of the four-part mini-series is entitled “The Great Debate.” Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Green Arrow’s fistfight is broken up by Black Canary. While the unknown assassin determines the next intended victim, the Justice League’s dissension grows re: political endorsements by super-heroes. Guy Gardner jumps into the fray backing a presidential candidate. Pushed by her boss, Lois Lane reluctantly seeks public presidential endorsements by other DC super-heroes. Green Lantern’s team breaks up another attempted bombing at a candidate’s rally. Elsewhere, Bruce Wayne drops a bombshell of his own.
REVIEW:
As heavy-handed as this storyline is, at least a needed switch from the art team of the middling first issue delivers a welcome upgrade in the visuals. The brief Green Lantern-Green Arrow slugfest; Lois being chastised by her boss; and the thwarted bombing sequence make for some intriguing sequences. For the most part, Decisions # 2 proves a relatively good read.
