    <body><![CDATA[A long-time Brad Meltzer fan, this was my first graphic novel (that I was actually able to finish). I can't speak for comic book and graphic novel fans, whose standards may very well be extremely different from mine, but I thought this was a very enjoyable read and did a good job of grabbing the att...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61608638">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a gift from a friend way earlier this summer. <br/><br/>I don't know much of the DC universe. I haven't read other comics by them, really. I know of Batman and Superman, but that's about it. I read other comments after I finished this book, and it seems that readers of the DC universe fel...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64656114">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While it doesn't have the distinction of being the first mainstream superhero book I've read (I believe that honor goes to <em>Kingdom Come</em>), I think this is the point where I began to see something genuine in the medium.  No matter how much writers try to show us the humanity and the emotion behind the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71510346">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good stuff.  This is a solid story that transcends the usual superhero slug-fest crap that one has come to expect with characters in tights.  Meltzer makes it abundantly clear why having a secret identity is so important to the DC Universe heroes; further, he shows us the lengths some will go to pro...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42601278">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd been hearing about this for awhile and finally picked it up at the library.  This is a suspenseful and absolutely gut-wrenching story of the Justice League (a team that I usually find boring, even when <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q= Grant Morrison" title=" Grant Morrison"> Grant Morrison</a> is writing it).<br/><br/>It begins with the murder of Plastic Man's wife.

    <body><![CDATA[I've read a lot of comic books in my life, and I've been made fun of for it. So when I tell you that this is the greatest comic book I have ever read, it's not a small statement. Meltzer is pure genius here, shining a light on superheroes that people don't see. When someone thinks of Superman, it's ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28997666">more...</a>]]></body>

Normally, I read Teen Titans, Nightwing, or Robin comics, but after hearing so much about this (and that Tim Drake's world went hay-wire in it), I figured, why not? <br/><br/>I expected a good mystery, but what I got was a profo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18622449">more...</a>]]></body>
