Nice lineup, but that cover verges on the boils of buck nasty.

Wow, Arsenal made it to the big leagues, FINALLY! Makes sense considering Ollie's current day job

Not a bad lineup at all. Nice mix of big guns and lesser known characters. Great to see Vixen, Black Lightning and Arsenal in the lineup.

I do like Arsenal's look.

Is that a new Black Lightning? He looks younger with his head shaved.

Decent team, I guess. What's with Diana's face?

Some real surprises there. This will be interesting. Arsenal is one of the biggest. I know people have been wondering about his whereabouts and DC said he'd be turning up somewhere. Hmm, Dinah and Roy, but no Ollie. That will indeed be interesting.

Ooh. Nice! They don't have the mega-rumored John Stewart as GL! They got HAL. JORDAN. My only complaint is that they didn't use Animal Man over Vixen.

Nobody loves Animal Man anymore. ;_;

Yeah, definitely. I really like that line-up. That should be an incredible mix of personalities.

I have no idea who Vixen or Black Lightning are, and I thought I'd be pissed that J'Onn wasn't in there but I'm not. I'm suprised there are four females on the team. There will be some upset YABSers.

A nice lineup indeed.

I'm not sure about the inclusion of Arsenal, though. I think Green Arrow would have been a better choice...

Vixen and Black Lightning and nice inclusions.

The cover, however, is dubious in quality at best.

At least nobody can reasonably criticise them on racial grounds for choosing Hal over John, not with two other blacks on the team.

Well, they couldn't really use him at this point because we're supposed to wonder about whether he'll survive 52.

I like the Arsenal choice, even if he does seem a bit like a "symoblic" choice.
