My Atom has just died and I’m not quite sure what I should do.” Black Hand:Â “Ah, well, we can ‘elp you. We deal with stiffs.” Al Pratt:Â “Stiffs?” Black Hand:Â “Yeah… Now there’s three things we can do with your Atom. We can bury him, burn him, or…

Or – “In Which A Hero Must DIE…” Every few years, we see the League at a crisis moment, a flashpoint where all the popular heroes are off doing their crossovers, and the remaining members are Tasmanian Devil, General Glory and The Creeper. With a whole new League around the corner, the few remaining members of the JLA have been dealing with a growing sense of unrest and aimlessness. Who will stay? Who will leave? And didn’t they promise that Leaguer would die?
