Analysis Notes

General	Only pages 19:4-21 are dealt with here.
19:4	Actually, Mordru has dark red hair, but you know how dreams go.
21	The revelation would have been more impressive if it had not already been revealed (sideways, via a “first appearance” listing) in JSA: Secret Files #1 which preceded the release of this issue.
General	This issue was reprinted in the JSA: Justice Be Done trade paperback collection.
