This is the one Sneak Peek story that you can find on Comixology and DC Universe. I think it's because it came out late and wasn't connected to a Convergence issue. I'm not sure. Either way, this short comic also has a non-cover, which is just the last page of the issue, showing a huge gathering of random heroes.

The story is little more than Stargirl recruiting every single hero she can think of. And it seems like all of them say yes, if just for one mission. Kid Flash, for example, points out that the Titans need him, but he'll agree to help Stargirl, if she promises to keep it quick. (I think that's a little odd, since the Teen Titans Sneak Peek had Kid Flash and Wonder Girl working against the Titans, but whatever.)


And the issue ends with a note sending us to Justice League United #11. But Kid Flash isn't in that issue. In fact, 90% of the heroes (and villains) shown here are not in that issue. So I don't quite get what the purpose of this was. Tease readers with the possibility of some of these characters joining the team? Keep people guessing on what the roster would look like? At the end of the day, this was a worthless story with ugly art.

Next time, we'll actually review a real comic, Teen Titans #9. (Yeah, I know it's the third Teen Titans #9 for this blog. Guess we just have to deal with it.)
