Flashpoint #5 was actually better than what I was expecting compared to last issue.
JL is going to be bogged down with tons of exposition and backstory, HOPEFULLY culminating in a huge-scale battle against Darkseid. But the origin looks to be slowing it down a bit. It should at least be a good read once the whole storyline is done, but as a first issue it wasn't strong enough.
Then again, I'm coming off of Morrison's JLA and The Authority which both just go "LOOK AT THESE GUYS. WHO EVEN CARES WHO THEY ARE, THEY KICK SO MUCH ASS. LET'S WATCH THEM KICK ASS. DO YOU SEE THIS CRAZY **** GOING DOWN ON THIS PAGE??? F*** YEAH, SUPERTEAMS."
