Justice League of America #2 Review |
So far JLA is kicking ass. The premise established in issue 1 was exciting enough. In issue 2 we get the perfect blend of plot, humor, great art, and action. It's a great series to try if you've been skeptical up to this point. Continuing from issue 1, Ollie is still in surgery after having his butt handed to him by a mysterious enemy. Meanwhile, the JLA is meeting officially for the first time at their headquarters before being introduced to the public. If you buy the book for nothing else, the entire scene at HQ is worth the price of admission. We get a good taste of every one of the characters in the room, and why they're there (except maybe Martian Manhunter, but that's not terribly surprising or off-putting to me). You also get some good humor that really makes you like the characters. In particular, the scene in which Hawkman and Vibe meet for the first time is bound to be considered a classic some day. The conclusion is appropriately mysterious and leaves you hanging just enough to want to know what's going to happen next without being obnoxious.
The art is vibrant and exciting, with a lot of variety depending on the type of scene being shown. I really have to give kudos to the entire art team. Most every panel in the book stands out.
This month's adventure was even better than last month's, and we haven't actually started our real story yet. I can't wait to see where this goes, but for now I can definitely recommend that you get out there and pick this series up while it's new.
