X-Men and The Justice League of America in "Crisis on Battleworld!"

 

Now we found out where the missing heroes from yesterday's cover have been.  This marks the third clash between these two teams.  They first met in STF #700, and then again in STF #2259...

Here's a larger look at today's individual stories:

I'd be rooting for the X-Men, but, honestly, I don't think they've got much of a chance here. Colossus and Nightcrawler essentially have no chance. Wolverine might do a bit better, but, face it, he's not going to win. Sunfire's far more powerful than his opponent, but pitting the most hot-headed, least clever member of the team against Batman is a bad idea. Storm and Banshee are the X-Men's best chance, but Hal's fought and beaten foes with yellow-tinged powers before, and Atom's extremely clever, and more powerful than people expect. The X-Men would have to pull off some major upsets to take this. Of course, pulling off major upsets is part of what superheroes do, so it's not completely impossible, just very, very unlikely.

Alaric's right. GL would probably help out the Atom by power ringing up a pair of soundproof ear muffs. One second later? A size-and-weight adjusted punch to Banshee's jaw! Flash returns the favor by super-speeding Storm around in Wolverine's direction so that his adamantiun skeleton would ground her lightning. Leaving Wonder Woman free to knock out both mutants.

Superman, meanwhile, takes the brunt of Sunfire's solar blasts then uses his super-cooling breath to freeze Nightcrawler in mid-bamf. While Colossus is Bat-gassed by the Dark Knight (as organic steel skin doesn't necessarily mean equally metallic lungs).

OH, YES!!!

I would definitely shell out the cover price for this book. But, I especially love the back-link to STF #700. If only because the back-up tale (Big Barda meets Red Sonja) retroactively lays the foundation for the New Female Furies! But, you were probably already aware of that. Right?

In any case; congrats on this anniversary issue!

Even though there's no price on this cover it's still a bargain considering the jam packed story inside!

In the good ol' days this would've cost between a dollar to $2.50.
These days this could be anywhere from $20 - $30. 😟
