And Then I Read: JUSTICE LEAGUE 22

Thus begins the latest crossover event, Trinity War. This is a fairly contained one, as it will appear only in the Justice League titles. The first part is full of interesting moments, gathering threads from past JL stories and adding new ones. Madame Xanadu entices with her incomplete visions of a grim future, and mythical Pandora appears to tempt Superman into opening her skull-like box. Meanwhile, Shazam is in deep political trouble overseas, and the League follows to get him out of it, with force if necessary. Then there’s The Question, gathering information of his own about the evil behind the events.

The script by Geoff Johns is well written, the art by Ivan Reis and others is appealing. I’m not sure if I am motivated to read the entire event, I suspect not, but I’ll give the second chapter a look at least.

Recommended.
