SALVATION RUN #3 (OF 7)Written by Bill Willingham

This series was not written for me. I don't understand how people are enjoying it and I'm only sticking with it because a) I'm a comic fan and we buy crap so we can bitch about it and b) over at Wizard's website, they had an interview with DiDio stating this series will be very important in regards to Final Crisis. So, here I am, bitching and whining until the very end.
This issue's worth of fan fiction has Luthor barking orders, nobody caring that the super rich and pampered ex-president who has routinely screwed them all over is now bossing them around with the exception of the Joker. Speaking of Joker, he somehow convinces the super intelligent Gorilla Grodd to join him because neither one likes Luthor. Who cares if they all got captured in McDuffie's JLA story a couple months back, which lead to this vacaction on
Flash forward and, here, Grodd and Joker decide to mutiny and round up all the rejects from the group of villains and go off on their own. Well, first they needed a retarded fight to distract people from the terrible story. Again, why is Grodd going off with people like Joker, Kid Carnival, Two-Face and so on?
Finally, the surprising mid-way twist in this "story" is that the Martian Manhunter decided to tag along and keep tabs on all the villains. He also had to shapeshift in order to talk into a tape recorder. I am dying with anticipation to find out why he thought this was a good idea or felt the need to come to this planet or why he didn't just stay invisible the entire time and view them out of harms way.
Verdict - Avoid It
