I would have liked to see more of these characters. So it goes.

So I realized this is the final volume. Still, I was able to piece together the story without having read the others. Even with that, some of the conclusions felt rushed. Kwang-Ho's whole arc was confusing.

Now, Superman's warring with two sides was very interesting, and I liked Kenan's struggle with it. I would've liked to see more of the Alpaca/Joker character.

This series took a weird path. I was not a fan of this final volume.

We discussed this further in a special episode of Comic Book Coffee Break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvNw_IkNSIE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2rnwzGlIFyk6Spd_QpVV-HljfYWwLxFYjvOZOyFhiRkXmFlHKlAmu-tAc

It was alright not something that I will read again. The Batman was playing both sides and the story line was confusing

Its a shame that this series was cancelled and that more people have not read it. This entire series broke new ground for DC and added a unique new chapter the "Superman-family" mythos. I love how Yang seamlessly weaves together Asian culture into characters that mirror the normal American Justice League. All while giving each character their own unique personalities. Volume 4 offers some of the best stories out of the entire series. My favorite part of these issues is hearing Yang's Aquaman quote from The Simpsons.
