Mike: So he is a Menace!

Anyway I finally read Justice League #1 and I pretty much agree with James.  It was really short and felt like the first quarter of a premiere episode for a new TV show. Seems like the team is going to form very quickly, I just hope they don’t bring out the villain they’re hinting at anytime soon. Could make for a great build up and after a few years have an epic event. Also seeing one of the worst redesigns looking great here, really helped ease my mind about the reboot. I just hope DC doesn’t screw this up for a good long while.

PS Drawing the web on Spider-man’s suit SUCKS.

James: Inspired, of course, by Polish Spider-Man. And just to keep Mike on his toes I have NEW reviews. I picked up Batgirl #1, Detective #1, Action #1, and Green Arrow #1. And I loved 3 of them. Let’s do this as a new blog series, shall we? Scroll down for nU Reviews.

Mike: I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet…

James: Neither had the guy at my LCS. So this is not based on a true story.

Green Lantern and Batman both have some great moments in Justice League #1. I loved GL’s dismissive attitude of the normal guy in a bat costume. And the last page was an awesome introduction for one of DC’s big guns. It’s nice to see that particular costume drawn by an artist of Jim Lee’s abilities. It looks much less awful than it does on his solo series cover. Still, it was really decompressed and if they take this kind of time establishing the other 12 members of the extended team this is going to be the longest origin story ever told.

Grade: B+

Needs to pick up the pace a bit, but a solid issue with gorgeous art.
