This was actually much better than I was expecting. I was seriously disappointed with the JLA: War animated movie so I honestly only read this because I love Geoff Johns and Jim Lee. The artwork was absolutely as gorgeous as I was expecting/hoping so I have no complaints about that. And honestly,...
Geoff johns is such a bad writer... His dialogue is stilted and corny, like when Mira broke her handcuffs and kicked the police-car door into the sky, and took it upon herself to walk right into a tense hostage situation and start questioning the gunman. All her arresting officer can say is "durr...
Geoff Johns, bravo. Bravo. Wow, Aquaman is pretty badass! Using the jokes and "disdain" of Aquaman to build his character is A-mazing! Adding depth to the character, along with a few chuckles. Oh, and the art!! So gorgeous! If this is the version they use to bring Aquaman to live on the big scree...
I loved Hal Jordan and Green Lantern as a kid and I wondered why he was an arrogant prick in as a member of the Justice League reboot. Well, this book did nothing to explain that. It started up the reboot with Hal losing his standing as Green Lantern and Sinestro gaining it. There were lots o...
I think I was supposed to read this before the other Blackest Night volume...or perhaps simultaneously. It seems to cross over and back about halfway through. Here we get the origin of Black Hand and the black power rings, which explains a lot that I was in the dark about reading the other book...
Aquaman volume 2 had a great storyline and a lot of fast paced action! I loved seeing the origin of Aquaman's trident as well as Black Manta being the main villain in this volume. I could only give this book four stars though because throughout the entire course of the story, Aquaman is super det...
This book clearly shown why Larfleeze has been the fans and my favorites. The character is very interesting as in how being a kleptomaniac and hoarding of goods could make one a powerhouse. I think it could be as farfetced as to think that this is a nod to consumerism reigning in our society nowa...
This series just keeps getting better and better. Volume 3 collects issues 13-17, along with two issues if Aquaman, 15, 16. The volume starts off awesomely with a fight between The Cheetah and Wonder Woman, then a whole story gets played out as the League joins WW in capturing Cheetah to stop h...
I would have to respond to this one in much the same way I did to the first--Jim Lee's work is beautiful, and this is a great super-hero story. But the heroes in this book just aren't quite my Justice League. i'm trying to read enough of this new series to see if I can get past this. Having re-re...
So with the conclusion of the hugely successful, both critically and commercially, Blackest Night crossover event, DC Comics launched two bi-weekly twenty four issues series to deal with the ramifications of everything that happened.One series, Justice League Generation Lost, pops in with a wonde...
Alright, this probably isn't five stars. Go ahead & acknowledge my bias right away, but I still loved it a lot & had a great deal of fun reading it. It's a lot of the same Hal/Sinestro banter that I loved so much in volume 1, but a lot more action this time around.This starts with Sinestro being ...
This is a very action packed story, pulling in the Justice League for most of the volume. This really highlights Johns' ability to balance character beats with big action and some massive beautiful art. Aquaman and the Justice League have to face down invading Atlanteans as they try to flood the...
Stunning, color-filled artwork pushes it up a starInteresting storyline - I picked it up primarily to find out what happens to the characters after Blackest Night - and wonderful art. But the characters don't seem to have distinct voices, and the dialogue is definitely ham-handed. However, I am c...
I love the original Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family. Love them. After being introduced to the Captain in SHAZAM! no. 1 in 1973, I read every reprint of their Golden Age adventures I could get ahold of. To be honest, the '70s material couldn't hold a candle to the older Marvel Family stuff—un...
All the really good stuff from Geoff John's Green Lantern finale is found in this book. It's pretty epic. And it is paired with some really great artwork.There are a few moments where I felt the writing went a little too far with sentiment and emotions.... But then, this is a war in which emoti...
This book is not for the casual comic books fan. It introduces new characters on almost every-page and that brief one page intro may be all you see of them. I didn't know Zatanna before this but she seemed to be interesting. A superhero with the ability to do magic with fishnets and a top hat. We...
