JLA: Classified #4

In "This Guy… This-- Gardner!", the Super Buddies are back on the case—though their latest mission might be as much about keeping their headquarters from being swallowed by a new bar as it is about saving the world. With Beatriz bonding with Mary over coffee and a new apartment, the team’s usual chaos intensifies as Booster, Ted, L-Ron, Sue, Ralph, and Max trade jabs and secrets—especially when Sue’s unexpected news adds another layer of tension. Their world gets even more complicated when they finally meet Guy Gardner, Richard Hertz’s new partner, in a moment that promises more than just a name drop. Written by Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis, with art by Kevin Maguire and inks by Joe Rubinstein, the cover by Maguire and Rubinstein captures the team’s signature mix of absurdity and camaraderie.
