Comic Review: Justice League Volume 1 Origin

Justice League Volume 1 Trashed

It’s the origin story of how all the members meet for the first time and formed the Justice League.  Written by Geoff Johns (Green Lantern, 52) and illustrated by Jim Lee (Gen 13, Deathblow), it’s the world’s most powerful team.

The DC Universe has been changed after the events of Flashpoint. Some changes are small and barley noticeable, while others are drastic. With the Justice League, the members have not even meet yet. A dramatic event is on the horizon that will cross the paths of these hero’s. With a great evil too powerful for any one person, they will need to ban together. Unfortunately it may take awhile before they actually work together.

Great jumping on point if you are new to the Justice League. It definitely sows the seeds for the current Trinity War. Also the origin of cyborg and how he was created is part of this volume.

Comic Review: Identity Crisis

DC Comics Identity Crisis

This is one of the starting points leading into the current events in the DC Universe. Identity Crisis puts the heroes into a spiral of fear and distrust. A story written by acclaimed novelist Brad Meltzer (Green Arrow, JLA) and drawn by Rags Morales (Action Comics, Hawkman).

The Elongated Man’s wife dies mysteriously and brings the entire Justice League together to deal with the circumstances of her death. No one is quite sure what has happened but everyone is eager to lend a helping hand. Batman, the world’s greatest detective, leads the way. What he uncovers starts a chain reaction of events that has a lasting impact that is still felt today.

This is an excellent story with lots of twists and turns that leaves you with more questions than answers. The artwork is adequate for the story but nothing spectacular. The aftermath of the events in story leads into Infinite Crisis.
