We see that the new villain, David Graves, got his powers from cast out Gods called the Asuras. He is determined to make the Justice League pay for the loss of his family. While he was unsuccessful in breaking Steve Trevor to get information, he gets to feed on his feelings of loss and pain over Diana.
The League gather to discuss Graves, who has been attacking villains, and the concern is that Graves knows a lot about them while they don't know much about each other. And they supposed to be a team. Or at least one who had been working with each other for the last five years. Superman and Batman are close allies and work outside the League.
Graves attacks the Satellite and proceeds to use the teams' feelings of personal loss to suck the energy or life force from them. With Diana, we see it is her mother who is at the heart of her pain.
The whole team fall while Graves swears to make revelations to the world.
While it was nice to see the team interact some more, it still feels as if we need to see something with more emotional resonance to make this group a unit. Geoff is still telling and not showing enough. Again the story feels so short. You just getting into it and it ends. Sigh.
3 out of 5 stars.
Back up story. Well, Black Adam is here.
Best Panel: Clark holding Diana but I like that one where they are in the background while the others rush off.
