Justice League #12 Review

The League finally confronts Graves, and themselves, in Justice League #12

Superman and Wonder Woman, One Super-fan’s Opinion

The news that Superman and Wonder Woman will be hooking up in the pages of JUSTICE LEAGUE #12 has fans predictably divided on the subject.  Some are rejoicing, saying it’s something they’ve waited years for, while others are annoyed, calling it a temporary publicity stunt and a ham-fisted set-up for next year’s “Trinity War.”  Most likely, it is all those things and more.  But let’s just take a minute and weigh out the pros and cons of Superman and Wonder Woman becoming DC’s new power couple.

Justice League #10 Review

A seemingly all-powerful David Graves takes on the League in Justice League #10.

Justice League #9 Review

The Justice League is targeted by an old friend who plans to use Steve Trevor’s knowledge of the team to take it apart from the inside, in Justice League #9.

Justice League #8 Review

Green Arrow tries his hand at gaining membership to the League, unaware of the devastation caused by the last hero the team let in. In the Shazam back-up, Billy Batson meets his new family as the wizard draws closer, all in Geoff Johns’ Justice League #8.

Justice League #6 Review. By A 13-Year-Old.

My reviews of Justice League have suffered lately, mostly due to the fuss I’ve been making about the book feeling like it’s written intentionally for a much younger and new-to-comics audience. If this is the case I commend DC for targeting this much-needed demographic with their biggest title; however, due to this fact it’s quickly losing my own interest (maybe I’m turning into one of those “old man” comic fans). Either way it didn’t seem fair to review Justice League #6 if a) I wasn’t already enjoying it and b) it potentially wasn’t even targeted towards me.

So I decided to ‘put my money where my mouth was.’

I gave my 13-year-old friend Shane Longino all my issues, then provided him with Justice League #6. I asked him if he’d like to help me review this issue [and the whole series really] and Shane, who’s never read comics before, agreed to help me out. Outside of a brief discussion on what I was giving him we didn’t get into a lot of details until now.

So, from the new-to-comcis 13-year-old-reader (THE potential audience for this book)…

Justice League #5 Review

Darkseid captures Superman and Green Lantern grows a pair.

Justice League #4 Review

[Sorry for the delay, were still playing catchup from the holiday season.]

One of the biggest issues in the series so far and I’m left wondering if I even want to continue.

The Darkseid of the New DCU has been revealed…

Justice League #2 Review

Were more than a month into DC’s relaunch and with the introduction to DC’s three biggest superheroes out of the way we begin to get at the meat of Geoff John’s and Jim Lee’s first arc with Justice League #2.

Justice League #1 [Co] Review

Justice League #1, our tour guide to the new DC Universe, has finally arrived after months of anticipation. Two reviewers with different levels of excitement; John jumping into the relaunch head first and Wayland being more hesitant and frankly not all that enthralled with the relaunch idea combine forces to individually review the issue and combine their scores.

And Just Like That…

Thanks to a midnight Justice League release party from my local shop I was lucky enough to grab Flashpoint #5 and Justice League #1 within minutes of it’s release. My heart was punching out of my chest. I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a comic book event since Marvel vs. DC (yup, I was 12 and it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen up to that point). We’ll have full reviews of both issues soon but I can’t help sharing some quick one-liners…
