Since the last issues of Starman, James Robinson has been a pretty inconsistent writer when it comes to super-books. There is still the trademark heart and some of the wit we once knew, and his interactions between characters are still so brilliantly human. thats not where the problems are in this book. His trouble is in writing convincing action sequences is further compounded, and his faults all the more glaringly obvious, when they involve an ensemble cast. It may not be entirely his fault.

Really, this was just an average Justice League story-line, so my initial rating was three stars; however, there are a couple reasons why I added on another star to make it a four-star read.
1) It is a multiverse story featuring the Crime Sindicate of America. Hello! This is what the DCU is all about! Characters traveling through space and time and dimensions to square off on our Earth! Fantastic! Except, it introduces a really lame villain into the mix: Omega Man. I really enjoyed the "New" New...more

Bought this on a whim for the Mark Bagley art and the James Robinson writing. The Bagley art was great (as usual), and the art in the other two stories (penciled by Pow Rodrix and Brett Booth) was better than OK. Robinson's writing was fun and he explained enough back story that I didn't feel completely lost. That was a big help because I wasn't reading much in the JLA section of the DCU when these comics first appeared (2010-2011).

A good story especially when it brought in the Crime Syndicate. I enjoyed seeing Millar's art in a comic other than Ultimate Spider-Man. I loved his run on Spidey. The plot was okay but it gives the reader a chance to see some of the younger heroes come together in the adult JLA instead of young teams like the Titans and the Outsiders.
This is a very poor story from James Robinson. it feels very limited in terms of characterization, with a crappy ending that simply fizzles out.
The CSU is wasted as side characters, even though they are entertaining. Omega Man is simply a very lame villain and the story is not up to par at all.

Not a bad story but I am not really feeling the new roster. Bill the gorilla and star man especially though I do appreciate having another gay superhero In The DC universe. Not a great example if course.
There’s some great characterization in these issues, and Robinson has better control over his annoying thought dialogue. However, that’s balancing with long fights and a big deus ex machina at the end.
Not Robinson's best work but it was alright. New team established. It's JLA so I will always read this series but I'm really hoping it gets better.
bombastically over the top! parallel universes! green energy!
It's a pretty decent storyline, but can you honestly call is the "Justice League" when it's quite honestly old "Teen Titans"?
