  An issue that never really manages to rise above the level of mediocrity that we've seen thus far on this crossover.

It also doesn't help that the main plot is such a bland, uninspired bit of work, as the two have been brought together to deal with an alien syndicate that is smuggling bleach off planet. However, unlike most intelligent villains, these aliens have decided to draw attention to their non-criminal activity by using the most attention grabbing means the writing could come up with.
