I thought the storyline was average. The bad guys beat up the good guys, go "mwah ha ha" and then lose.
Vixen has no place on this team. Her powers, or what is left of them, can not be trusted. She is a liability to the team. Also, Firestorm's reason for being on the team is silly. If Batman wants him for that reason, then Firestorm should be on the Titans or even the JSA where they teach younger heroes to control and expand their powers. The JLA should be the best of the best, and right now, neither vixen or firestorm qualify for that. Let them go off, get their houses in order, learn to control/understand their power, and have them come back.
