“If You Play Your Cards Right...”

In "If You Play Your Cards Right...", Wally Tortolini finds himself unexpectedly drawn into the criminal underworld after aiding Sonar’s escape from the Justice League America, now with new recruits Orion and Lightray on the team. Taken to the notorious super-villain hangout, the Dark Side, Wally surprises everyone—heroes and villains alike—by winning a string of high-stakes poker games, claiming powerful weapons from some of the most dangerous foes in the DC Universe. Written by Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis, with dynamic art by Adam Hughes and bold cover art by Adam Hughes and Karl Story, this 1990 issue delivers a sharp, offbeat twist on heroism and risk.
