Episode Summary & Review

Summary

An explosion near the sun opens a temporary rift into the Phantom Zone allowing General Zod to escape as he plans to free Faora and Quex-Ul. When members of the Justice League are affected by a fragment of Krypton (which didn’t turn into Kryptonite) and become phantom like, their only hope for freedom is to somehow get a message to Booster Gold to get them out of the phantom like state before they end up in the Phantom Zone as well as stopping General Zod before he frees Faora and Quex-Ul.

Our Take

A fun twist on the usual Zod breakout story, with the League stuck phasing in and out of reality while Booster Gold bumbles around as the only hope. The comedy mostly lands, and Booster gets his best showcase of the season. Fast, silly, and a nice change of pace from the standard punch-ups.
