The promise of the first volume wains here a bit for me as the story devolves into what I feel is a liberal re-hash of two landmark JLA stories, "Identity Crisis" and "Tower of Babel".Doug Braithwaite writes the intro notes for this volume and he comes across as utterly charming. In fact, I really love his artwork throughout all three volumes. He does a fantastic job balancing realism while adhering to the roots of the characters.There is also one moment in this volume that bothers the crap out
How come I haven't really heard of Jim Krueger? This dude obviously loves Superheroes, and he handles them really well. So the last volume we were having all our superheroes losing. Like, really really bad. Hell, this volume starts with Superman STILL getting his ass whooped. Then, luckily, the backups for the Justice League are called in to help. This is a really big moment for some secondary characters, and goes to show how each superhero can be extremely important. The villains take a backsea...
Volume two brings more of the same of volume one: action, huge stakes, and gorgeous artwork. A very fun read, and even more fun to look at.
Volume two is just as amazing as volume one, maybe even better. The combination of Braithwaite's penciling and Ross' painting makes this a true work of art. That is not to say that the plot is lacking anything. This really has everything that I love about comics all rolled into one perfect package.Seriously, the only problem I have is that my library doesn't have volume three. Thank God for Google and Wiki!If you get a chance to read this one, don't pass it up!
A little bit slower but still enjoyed it. Villains are everywhere! Second tier Justice league members are showing up! Let’s see how we get to the epic conclusion.
(This review is a collective for all three volumes of Justice)This comic was both so interesting and so amazing :D Whilst I carry the general opinion that I prefer Alex Ross' artworks to be on covers or promotional material as opposed to materials (as they are so detailed filled and therefore I find it hard to see what's quickly happening) but I felt in this series, the artwork truly shined! The storyline was so gripping from point one and even though it required some default understanding of th...
It's clear now that Justice is a love letter to the JLA.
The second volume of Justice picks up right where the first one left off. DC's first string Justice League in serious peril. They're helped out in part because the Justice League has an unbelievably deep bench including many people who are second stringers for no logical in-world reason but because marketing and precedents. So that mean Alex Ross is unleashed to paint even more heroes and there's much rejoicing.The plot deepens as there's a mysterious revelation and then even more questions rais...
A good script and excellent drawings by Alex Ross. You can not ask for more.
If Volume 1 was the JLA getting their asses handed to them, this is the bounce back, lead by some of the "B-team" members. However, given the power, I don't know why Captain Marvel is seen as a B-teamer, he takes a whole pile on solo, and wipes the floor with them, making me wonder just how powerful he is in comparison with Superman. There is also the appearance of others, like Ralph Dibny (Elongated Man), Plastic Man [yes this is dumb to have 2 identical men, and they make fun of it themselves]...
The second volume of this series is by far better than the first. In this one we find out that our favourite heroes have not been killed off by the advancing hordes of bad guys. Instead, they have used their smarts and experience to defeat them and escape. The problem is that they are not smart enough to capture them, as would have happened in a classic Justice League comic or cartoon.When our heroes reconvene, they discover several things. One, the B-team Leaguers and associate members have beg...
Loved it. Beautiful art and a great progression of the story from volume 1.
What it's about: DC's heroes fight back against their attackers and start to investigate what has caused the villains to unite and change the usual behavior. Someone is manipulating the heroes, the villains, and perhaps the world's population! The heroes find themselves unable to fight back as the villains put their plans into motion. The villains' offer of a wonderful new world for the citizens of the world may have some strings attached. And if the heroes can't overcome the bias against them,
Good, but not exceptionally good. Justice is essentially the same premise of Identity Crisis, except for the fact that it's a REAL identity crisis. All of the Justice League members have been under attack and their identities are compromised. Brainiac wants to eliminate life on earth by fooling the people of earth into thinking the super villains are the good guys. And the heroes fight the villains to try and stop them. The artwork is beautiful, but so far the story has not impressed me, even th...
This one didn’t hold my attention quite as much as the last volume but I have to give credit for how much work went into this. There are so many DC characters featured here that it’s pretty much awe inspiring. Again, this is one of those few arcs deemed “epic” and world changing... and it actually feels epic and world changing. Ross’ art is gorgeous, as always. I just wasn’t as entertained as I was reading the last one.
Ooooh. This was a good one. Tense was my middle name during my reading trance. There was so much that happened. I loved the story and the dialog. I was really feeling this one. I can't wait to read the last volume and see how it all turns out. I am sooo glad I'm reading this now and not when they started coming out. I don't know if I could have stood the suspense of waiting. I definitely wanted to open a can of Ka-Pow on the villains. There were some good twists and turns, some AWESOME moments,
•This is where I learned about Aquaman’s history with Black Manta.
The first half of this volume lacked clarity in narrative and layout, but it gradually refocuses and becomes a fun throwback, all-star story by the middle. There is a clear love of comics history and Silver Age zaniness here, while updated with a more contemporary sensibility. The multitude of cameos they manage to shoehorn in is amazing, with the Doom Patrol, Metal Men, and the Phantom Stranger all making appearances alongside more typical Justice League players. There is also an embarrassment
Alex Ross, the artist for this series is beyond amazing.
Overall, gotta admit that I enjoyed this story a little more than expected. Parts of it didn't entirely work for me - the ease with which Brainiac's turning humans into robotic life was undone, the literal deus ex machina of Wonder Woman being reborn, anything with Zatanna (sorry - I can't get past the lameness of talking backwards to cast spells, or the anything-goes-except-what-the-writer-doesn't-want aspect of her powers - she can chase Brainiac anywhere, but couldn't say "NamauqA, raeppa" wh...
