(A-) 80% | Very GoodNotes: Bittersweet and splashy, it's about fluid affinity, ebbing uncertainty and how magic can overflow impulse to villainy.
A title still struggling to find its direction I got this on its single issues but I prefer to do the review on the TPB option to make a better overall review of the storylines.Creative Team:Writer: Geoff JohnsIllustrators; Ivan Reis, Tony S. Daniel & Paul Pelletier DIVIDED THEY'LL FALL They are the Justice League, the most powerful team on Earth, but this "New 52" version of the Justice League is still struggling to find its direction, even keeping together itself as a team.Green Lantern (
4.5 starsThis is actually a 5 star read, but I knocked off half a star because I think it's crap that majority of the book is just Aquaman, Vol. 3: Throne of Atlantis. Luckily, I got this from my library, but if I had gone out and purchased both volumes, I would have been livid. As it was, I was still a tad disappointed that I wasn't reading something totally new.But only a tad, because this really is an awesome story.This starts off with the JL running around in the jungle after Cheetah. And it...
So, what did I miss? They were in a jungle hunting down this cheetah woman and then the Flash got hurt and what happened to him. After a few volumes, it then flips into material that happened in Aquaman #3 that isn't new. The Flash wasn't there. They never finished his arch; did they? The one thing I will say that was good about this is they are opening up the Justice League and adding new members. It's about to get crazy. They did want to add the Scarecrow and he's a villain. I didn't understan...
You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.Trust and honesty are not easy to come by when a person’s self-interest is at play. When they make you believe that they are infallible and will always be who they tell you to be, there’s a good chance that any form of betrayal will hit you hard in the gut and plunge you in cold disappointment. In the latest adventures of the Justice League, writer Geoff Johns looks to give Aquaman the chance to choose his home and the allies he wants to keep by...
Reread: 19/10/2021This was so epic. It starts off with Wonder Woman and the JL going after the Cheetah and we see her origins and history, and Superman transforming maybe and how the JL saves him was awesome and the other twist being the rivalry they will now have.The next story is someone setting some bombs off which attacks Atlantis and the Atlantean army emerge and they take down people, drowning them and we see the threat of Ocean master, Aquaman vs JL, then being trapped and attacked by the...
2.5 stars - Another Geoff Johns masterpiece.....haha. Geoff Johns or as I call him captain average. DC really need to invest in better writers, more like Scott Snyder please!So this is the justice league version of the war on Atlantis storyline. I actually prefer John's Aquaman to this. I got this and vol. 4 on sale so I don't feel too bad. The beginning of the story about the cheetah was actually quite good, I wanted more of that and the ending where Aquaman has to jail his brother was really r...
So far, this has been a consistently awesome series. I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series.
Another enjoyable Justice League novel by Geoff Johns and a smattering of artists, mostly Ivan Reis. I read most of these stories in the Aquaman trade of the same name, so shame on DC for making readers buy these twice instead of just issuing one trade for the event.
Holy shit, this was intense. So this volume is two parts. One is focusing on Wonder Women's villain the Cheetah. It's kind of tragic by the end. At first I was like "This creature can actually hurt Superman? Come the fuck on." but by the end felt horrible for her. The fights were odd (I admit, I don't know much about her. But to take Supes/Flash on with ease was weird) but her overall faith is sad. Second part is the war with Atlantis. This shit was epic as fuck. I really fucking enjoyed this. N...
Have you read Aquaman Volume 3: Throne of Atlantis? If you have then you’ve basically read Justice League Volume 3: Throne of Atlantis by default because DC has made the highly questionable choice of reprinting the exact same Throne of Atlantis storyline in BOTH BOOKS! The difference is that with the Justice League Throne book you get to read Justice League #13-14 and in the Aquaman Throne book you get to read Aquaman #0 and 14. What an utterly cynical move this is as there’s sure to be a massiv...
I wasn't sure what to give this because it's basically the same page for page as the same titled aquaman volume, only with added justice league pages slotted in-between. So once you get over the deja vu you realise it's kinda pointless reading the same volume all over again and it's best to either read this volume or read the aquaman volume, you won't miss anything reading one or the other it's just preference. I liked the woman wonder and cheetah story line but it was far too short i thought it...
3.5 Stars (Fun, with some depth and great artwork but ultimately not the type of pop culture read that will broaden your horizons any more than say a Fast and Furious film might. But it's a fun way to pass the time.)Due to my busy schedule the only things I can actually read at the moment are the most gripping of novels or 'quick reads' - like 200-300 page graphic novels. Either way, I will admit that this novel is a fascinating read and for those into comics/graphic novels etc. it highlights wh...
"Barbara cut herself on it. And she was possessed by the goddess of the hunt. The bloodthirsty Cheetah!" Ugh. Johns really *likes* writing like this, cause it just keeps coming up.But holy shit though, I think Johns must've hired a ghostwriter for some part of this book. Not only were two Leaguers not fighting, they had an almost human-sounding moment between them (Flash & Cyborg), and the WW actually smiled when her teammates offered to help her.It's unfortunate that Johns won't focus on that k...
Wonder Woman tries to save a friend from the dark path she's chosen. And there is all-out warfare between the surface world and the Kingdom of Atlantis, when a submarine is sabotaged and fires on the underwater city. Good thing the Justice League is ready to stand in the gap!I thought this was a pretty good graphic novel. The artwork was very well done. The opening story featuring Wonder Woman trying to redeem Cheetah was good. I didn't have a lot of information on her backstory, but now I know
When this series first started, I bought the singles and when it got to the issues in this volume, I quit. Fantastic art, but the stories were average at best. At the time I didn't even read the Aquaman issues that were part of the Throne of Atlantis arc. This volume does contain those and after reading the whole thing...I still think it's average. It's a forced conflict (again) simply to bring the status quo back to a certain point. The first couple issues which don't deal with Atlantis, at lea...
It's not a 1-Star book, but 2 is a stretch as well. I feel like I've already read about Aquaman and wars from Atlantis against the surface, like a bunch. I think Geoff Johns it out of ideas. Or just have him work on Green Lantern, which is obviously his one true love. Green Lantern quit the JL after last volume, and Flash is only in a couple of issues here. That leaves us with Wonder Woman and Superman, who are too busy trying to get in each other's pants to notice anything; and Batman and Aquam...
This rebooted version of Justice League is such a treat! I don't own the next volume yet but it will be mine eventually.It was very enjoyable, even when it went a bit Pacific Rim at the start.Honestly, if you're getting into comics and feel hesitant about where to begin in the DC Universe, then you should start here. It's as good as anything and it will technically keep you up to date in what is happening now. Older installments are very entertaining too (Personally, I recommend the Batman: Hush...
Largely the same as Aquaman, Vol. 3: Throne of Atlantis, except for two issues of Justice League that has the League assist Wonder Woman with the latest incarnation of the Cheetah. A bit of complexity is lent to the the villain as it's uncovered that (view spoiler)[the mystical Cheetah entity is not evil, but Barbara Minerva (who had fooled Diana into trusting her prior to taking the Cheetah essence) is (hide spoiler)]. As I wrote in the other review, the Atlantis portion is all pretty fun stuff...
Still loving this incarnation of the Justice League...I mean even Geoff Johns made a 2 part Cheetah story interesting...now that is talent. Loved the Throne of Atlantis storyline as well. I hate to see Aquaman leave the group after all these years he is finally interesting.
