Alex ross's artwork is one of, if not the best artwork You'll see in a graphic novel.
So that was a hefty read. Might need to sit down and contemplate life now.The first time I read Alex Ross' Kingdom Come I was somewhat disappointed. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't understand why it was so revered as a classic. It wasn't until I read it or a second time that I fell head over heels for it. For some reason all the subtle moments in the story were lost on me the first time round. And if I'm being completely honest, this will be the case here as well. It's not that I thought thi...
Vote: ☆☆☆1/2Storyline: ☆☆Story synopsis: Super Villains unite, beat the League and take their place in the heart of people doing good stuff without nobody thinking they are bad guys and up to something, reserve heroes save the day and JLA triumphs again deleting info about their secret identities from villain minds... Plot was like a bit too long episode of Super Friends Tv Show and I really missed at all the sense of Joker sub-plot. Meh :/Artworks: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆Alex Ross paintings over Dough Brait...
No artist does Deluxe like Alex Ross.The story felt a little like one we've seen before, (view spoiler)[ with some pretty hand-wavy resolution at the end sknaht ot annataZ (hide spoiler)] but I enjoyed the journey and, if seeing that art on a tiny smartphone screen was this epic I can only imagine what checking out a nice glossy hardcover copy would feel like.Highly recommended!["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
Alex Ross does some amazing artwork, and this book is no different. Unfortunately, the story doesn't stand up as well as Marvels or Kingdom Come, or and of his Retro City work. The story is weird, in that it manages to not seem as epic when reading it as the story intends to be. It's huge, spanning most old and new Justice League characters, and numerous villains. But it doesn't pull together like it should, and the last issue or two in particular seem very muddy and unfocused. It has some great...
Most comics are a good solid 3 star read to me, a few stand out and get 4 stars. This series with it's incredible art and beautiful Silver age feel to the story stands out above and beyond the rest. If you are a fan of the Silver age of DC comics then read this it will take you back in time to those stories. Highly recommended
MINI REVIEW: I started by reading this in parts and then saw it was all in one volume so I started over to get the full experience. The JLA opponents believe the world is doomed unless they take over which includes eliminating the JLA members. They proceed to do so but don't take into account the reserve JLA members who participate in making sure it doesn't fully happen (come on you expect the JLA to be wiped out no way this is a spoiler). Aquaman finally gets some nice scenes as do a few other
Justice is a volume I bought primarily because of Alex Ross. The story is nothing I haven't heard of so there is nothing really astonishing about it. But having drawn by Alex Ross, well that makes a very, very big difference. So basically the super-villains teamed up to become pseudo-altruistic while carefully pushing the superheroes out of the future. Turns out, they really had some twisted sense of goodness but you know, our good guys are on the far good of the spectrum, so they fought the bad...
291119: epic collection. i think this probably uses all the 'dc' comics characters, so i have a better understanding of who is who, though again primarily through the movies. i am surprised at how many i know of. focus of course on superman and batman, though i have no idea how to reconcile the opposing civic visions of meropolis and gotham city... interested in wonder woman arc, intrigued by green lantern arc- seems most like a god but then they all are in some way...'modern mythology': i wonde...
April 2020:I recently reread this book and I think it is still the best "Legion of Doom" story in comic books. There is periodically storylines in DC Comics of the villains all teaming-up against the heroes which I call "Legion of Doom" stories after the gathering place of the villains of in the old Superfriends cartoon. T hadn't read too many of these stories before I read Justice, but I now have read a few more and I still think this one is the best, but not by a wide margin. This story uses t...
First of all, even if Jim Krueger completely shit the bed with the story (and he didn't!), Alex Ross' artwork is enough of a reason for anyone to pick this one up.Look at it - stunning!Ok, and I didn't realize Doug Braithwaite was an illustrator on this, as well. That guy is AMAZING and I need to find more of his stuff.The gist is that the Legion of Doom is trying to take out the Justice League.There's nothing remarkable about that, but this time around they kind of think they're doing the right...
Justice is like a 2 hour movie based on the Challenge of the Super-Friends. Ross's painted art over Doug Braithwaite's pencils is sublime. They give this book a great Silver Age vibe.The premise is that the Legion of Doom start all having the same dream about the Justice League failing to stop the destruction of Earth. So they start using their powers to help people while taking out the League in secret. That's all you really need to know. If you're a fan of Silver Age comics or gorgeous looking...
A gift from the heavens.
Fine volume with obviously great art. Only complaint is that it went on perhaps a bit too long.
This volume is another example of the Justice-League-almost-wiped-out-by-a-gang-of-evil-thugs-but-comes-back-and-kicks-ass-because-Batman-devises-a-plan-because-well-he’s-Batman story line. The difference here is the artwork by Alex Ross.After having a really bad Ben and Jerry’s/anchovie pizza induced collective dream where the Justice League drops the ball and the Earth explodes……a band of evil doers band together and led by Lex Luthor and Brainiac, sucker punch core Justice Leaguers.It’s nice
There’s a lotta spoilers in this review so if that’s an issue for you, so long! Justice is so bad. Does every comic Alex Ross does the main art for suck so completely? It encapsulates everything I hate about books in general, but especially superhero comics: it’s boring, overcomplicated, excessive, stupid, repetitive, overlong, and extremely pointless. I’m jumping the gun and I’ll circle back to these points later but first let’s get this semi-positive critique that I’ve seen in EVERY review of
So this is the sort of thing that like, A) will be totally irrelevant to most people, B) will be a head-nodder for some, and C) will be a head-shaker for the rest, but like, I'm never really gotten the Justice League.I get Batman, you know, because I love Batman, and so I figure that if people can love other superheroes the way I love Batman, then sure, it makes sense for people to be big fans of Superman flying around having Superman adventures and Wonder Woman having Wonder Woman adventures an...
This was a long read.Wow what a story.Justice tells the tale of the time when all the villains united and started being problem solvers and well going after the heroes and taking them down after learning their secret identity or controlling them in one form or another and when the main JL is down, the reserves come in and we see rescues happening and all that and I love the multi character explanation and everything of their troubles particularly Hal and Arthur and then them finding the villains...
I think the amazing art by Alex Ross helped make a slightly above average story better. I'm glad I read this in one volume versus the three smaller ones.
Justice makes me think of rock bands that are comprised of very good musicians and whose singers are bad enough to compromise the quality of their work. The aesthetics of Justice are absolutely gorgeous, a real treat for the eyes. Alex Ross and Dougie Braithwaite captured the essence of the characters in the most impressive manner. On the other hand, the story was not nearly as good as I was hoping it to be. Some parts of the plot had a lot of potential (Hal Jordan being transported to the farth...
