Todas las historias estuvieron entretenidas, más la de "El momento", a excepción de la primera, la sentí un poco acelerada, era como para haber sido mínimo de unos cinco números en serie regular, pero ahí está y no es la mejor.
La liga de la justicia tal y como la recuerdo de la infancia.

These all-ages stories are based on the Justice League Adventures cartoon series. I read the second one first, that's okay because these stories don't require much continuity and can each be read in isolation. This book collects Justice League Adventures Issues 3, 6, and 10-12
With that said, let's take a look at the stories:
Star Lost- The Justice League rescue several prisoners from a dead space ship. They claim that their red son planet's rulers was a tyrant while the records seem to indicate they were madmen. Superman embraces them as idealistic heroes with similar powers to him, while Batman thinks they may be dangerous. Could they both be right. Grade: B
Wolf's Clothing-The best story in the book. Chronos summons all the world's supervillains to bid on Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman who are in suspended animation. However, Martian Manhunter's there's in disguise as Parasite and when they start noticing some villains have gone missing, suspicion breaks out among the ranks. So many supervillains, so many disguises, so many heroes. Really, a fun story. Rating: A+
Must There Be a Martian Manhunter: When the Justice League battle Scream Thief, a supervillain powered by fear, Superman goes down, and Martian Manhunter has to fill in for Supes. During this Adventure, Manhunter is struggling with what makes him so different than Superman and his true place in the world. A good story that ties back into the fight with the villain. Rating: B+
The Moment: Kronos is released from prison after a parole hearing. His character witness-a future version of himself who comes along with a recording from future Superman. However, it becomes apparent that while the older version of Kronos may have changed, he's still up to dangerous tricks. This time with the Space-time continuum as he tries to prevent the death of his firefighter brother. It's up to the Flash to stop him with an assist from the Atom. Rating: A
Cold War: A supervillain from space teams all of the Earth's many cold-based villains into a team to take over an impoverished nation and fix it. They have other designs and it's up to the Justice League to stop them. This one features some tension on the team. Also, I'm not certain I buy Mr. Freeze as a mercenary for hire. But otherwise, this was a good story. Rating: B
There's not really a bad story in here and the third and fourth stories reach to a deeper emotional level than most kid-friendly comics. Overall, a solid read.

A collection of all-age stories based on the TV series. The stories can all be read as a stand-alone. We have the League rescuing aliens from a wrecked space ship. The survivors claim that their home planet was taken over by tyrants, even though the ship’s records indicate that the alien passengers are all madmen. Superman sees them as idealistic heroes; Batman as dangerous. Both turn out to be right.
“Wolf’s clothing was rather fun: the Batman, Superman, and WOnder Woman have somehow been captured and put into cryo-tubes: all the JLA’s villains are bidding for them in some sort of auction. Unfortunately for them, one of these villains is really Martian Manhunter in disguise.
In another story, Scream Thief does the impossible and ends up temporarily defeating Superman. Martian Manhunter takes up the burden of the Man of Steel until Superman can recover, forcing him to struggle with what makes him so different from Superman.
In yet another, Kronos is released from prison and goes up against Flash and the Atom. In another, a supervillain from space recruits all of the JLA’s villains onto his side in an attempt to fix an impoverished nation. There is considerable tension among the JLA. And Mr. Freeze as mercenary? Come on.

This collection of stories dates to the pre-Unlimited Justice League Cartoon series. Aimed firmly at children, these standalone stories focus, as the title hints at, on the seven heroes that make up the core of the team.
Good for the elementary school fan of the series.
