That's them.
I was just re-reading that run. Why in the world did the JSA decide they needed to see what was inside that big door under Monument Point? It was clearly nothing but trouble.

I suspect it would have been more comprehensible if they weren't rushing to wrap stuff up before the New 52. I'm sure the writer didn't intend to introduce these new characters (Ri, Red Beetle and Darknight) without ever giving them a backstory. And in the last issue, Mister Terrific, who had lost his intelligence, gets it back with no explanation, just a caption saying "he got better".

Is it possible to despise a comic run you’ve never read? If so, that’s how I feel about this JSA run.
Everything I’ve seen/heard about it looks like absolute crap but the thing I hate most of all about it is what this question is about - the new members. Until this point, every new JSA member had been either a legacy of or in some other way connected to a former member or another Golden Age character. And that sense of legacy and history going back some fifty years is so unique in comics and absolutely one of the things that made this team so special.
And then this hack writer (or more likely an interfering editor) comes along and wrecks it all in one fell swoop. What on earth Golden Age connection does Blue Devil have? He’s about as ‘80s a character as you can get! Same with the others (except maybe Manhunter, although I never liked this version anyway).
So sad how far this once great book fell.

I still read the run until the end, but also felt I should have stopped much earlier . Lots of random new characters overcrowding the book, too bad because Ri at least had interesting healing powers
Which JL member had a book collection shipped to League HQ?
