And Then I Read: JUSTICE LEAGUE 41

As a rule I don’t like big crossover/war stories, but I have to admit I’m enjoying this one so far. I was pretty bored with the New Gods in a recent GREEN LANTERN crossover event. This one breathes life into the characters in a way I haven’t seen before. Geoff Johns really does it for me, no question. For instance, Darkseid confronting Mister Miracle sounds like it’s bound to be covering the same old ground that Kirby started with 40 years ago, but not so. This feels fresh, like the characters have woken up from a long sleep. There’s plenty of other action and intrigue this issue, some of it I don’t quite understand yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing more. The art by Jason Fabok is spectacular. I don’t see how he can keep this level of detail and excellence up without help, but he’s done it on this issue at least. Oh, and the Justice League themselves? Many great moments for them, too.
