JUSTICE LEAGUE QUARTERLY #4

In the first story, the Injustice League decide that there is more money to be had by being heroes rather than villains. At the behest of Major Disaster, they decide to adopt the methods of Robin Hood by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor (namely, them). They decide to break into and rob a vault from the compound of a false preacher named Minister Sun. The Mighty Bruce outlines the entire gig for them, and helps them gain entrance to Sun's headquarters. The yield from the vault turns out to be of little value, but upon further inspection, they discover a secret cache of gold bullion. Unfortunately, two of the worshipers living at the compound are actually undercover F.B.I. agents. The Injustice Gang try to haul as much of the gold bricks out of the building as they can while also avoiding gunfire from both the F.B.I. agents and Minister Sun's henchmen. Their escape is a never-ending escapade of missteps and pratfalls, but at the end of the day, they succeed in securing at least one gold brick. Their newfound wealth is fleeting however as Cluemaster informs them that he needs the money to pay off a bevy of unpaid traffic fines. Next up, at a New Age street fair, Fire, Oberon, Guy Gardner and Ice are on a double date though Guy remains pessimistic about the whole endeavour - however he gave a General Glory Gloryboy oath that he would do whatever Ice wished all day. The foursome traumatise a psychic with a display of Fire's powers and Guy damages a crystal said to have an entrapped spirit within which Ice makes him buy for her. Also at the fair are Jack Small and Petey the Demon who seek out Maxwell Lord for jobs; they find him being lectured on the demons of drink by General Glory. Inside an Indian restaurant the cracked crystal releases the trapped spirit which possesses Ice and turns her into a towering blue demon. An event that Jack and Petey use to prove their worth; after Guy's attempt to appeal to Ice's human side and tells her that he loves her! Petey recognises her demonic dialect and saves Ice by informing the ice demon of the best way to get home. Max Lord hires Petey as the Justice League International's official supernatural advisor and Jack as a corporate lawyer. In the aftermath, Guy and Ice declare their love for each other and kiss while the others cheer. And finally, CaTales! an assortment of short n' sweet excerpts about the awful, terrible, Stinky the cat.
