RUMINATIONS: The “temporal shields” thing is one of my many attempts at hand-waving the tropes of the storyline in the review. As I’ve said before, I know full well that it’s absolutely ridiculous that an internet reviewer is somehow important enough to justify all the villains he runs into. But since I have to justify it, I also have to justify why they’re not showing up every week to harass the main character. The temporal shields and interdimensional travel seemed like a perfectly natural hand-wave (and one I’d repeat later on with Jaeris the Gunslinger a few years later).

As for Cry for Justice itself… blegh. Just blegh. I think what’s absolutely the worst thing about it is how completely pointless the “story” itself is. Green Lantern has a temper tantrum, fights a few minor villains, Prometheus breaks into the JLA Satellite, all heroes are useless and child dies. It’s disjointed, irritating, badly-written (especially from someone who’s MUCH better than this crap) and just downright BORING.
