I'm so very sorry please forgive me

 
I will keep this review brief as if I don't I will end up yelling profanities non-stop forever. The cover is just awful the art is just terrible, I mean look at martian manhunter's chest he has muscles on his muscles. The colours are all dark and bland. The cover tells us nothing and the flash and random bra woman 
don't help as it is just a mish mash of boring colours and bad art.
We open with Martian Manhunter having a stroke as one side of his face is swollen and dropping to one side. He is breaking into a Ware house through a window on the roof with guards outside. We see that the crates are filled with guns and teddy bears (that is a bad way to ship illegal firearms as they would probably check the teddies for drugs and find the guns.). In the warehouse the guards attack him (which begs the question of why he didn't disguise himself as one of them and sneak in.) and the warehouse has enough space for an all-terrain vehicle to fit in and not be noticed and has a magically appearing window that couldn't possibly have been there before where a man is holding a woman hostage. So we the martian manhunter again and the interior of the warehouse is now outside and no he did not move I checked this! So he flies up and finds the people held hostage but the kidnapper forces them to act like nothing has happened.
When he leaves we see fists emerge from the wall making me think robocop will appear which would give this 10/5 score but alas it is just the martian manhunter who I will now refer to as "John Stallone"   he explains in his most brooding face he was using x-ray vision to see him. Next we see a man demonstrating to a war lord a weapon by vaporising a large chunk of farmland (which would damage the country's economy as well as their food supply, genius) the dictator(stand in for Castro).
Now we're the pentagon with somebody who works for the government (that is all we're told) being ask to run a task force based on jutice league members and if he doesn't run this secret club it will go on his record and make him look bad in front of the president.
 There are three things wrong with this 1. If he is a congress member then who cares he is elected by the people not the president if he's not he can't be fired for declining an offer 2. He has no military training why in god's name would not give it to a general or someone who has experience with spec-ops 3. What if he threatens to tell the world about this considering you threatened him then your plan is doomed as people will look into this. Anyway he accepts and looks for  John Stallone who just flies into his apartment without even trying to conceal his identity no wonder they know who he is and he is recruited.
We cut JLE successfully defeating a villain and then Flash and Aquaman are recruited the end.
This is terrible the art is loathsome the plot is beyond stupid and the characters are whiny petulant children especially Stallone I decided not to go into that as I don't know twenty different ways to say "crap" this gets -5/5 from me which I can give because I'm me but if you want to see it for yourself go onto comixology.com because it is free! Too much if you ask me.
