Red Justice

Justice League

by Michael Teitelbaum

The Justice League has been called to the Ural Mountains in Russia where a decaying nuclear reactor threatens to melt down. The heroes are able to shut down the reactor, but in doing so they also cut off the power to a long-forgotten cryogenic lab hidden deep under the mountains. A group of genetically engineered meta-humans frozen in the lab are revived. Code-named Red Dawn, they are endowed with powers that rival and mirror those of the Justice League. The Justice League has finally met its match–unless the Flash can save them in time.

The Justice LEague is called to an emergency in the Ural mountains in Russia where a nuclear reactor is in danger of killing thousands. Inadvertantly, their saving the reactor leads to the release of 5 super powered Russians who had been cryogenically suspended. They do not know the Cold War is over and consider the Justice League their enemies.

Very fun story even though the portrayal of The Flash seemed a bit annoying at times.

Justice League Red Justice by Michael Teitelbaum it's about a group of heroes that been sent to Ural Mountains in Russia to stop the decaying nuclear reactor to melt down.A group of genetically engineered meta-humans frozen in the lab are revived. Code-named Red Dawn, they are endowed with powers that rivals the Justice League.


The part that I liked is when the the justice league finally defeated their enemies stopped the nuclear reactor from melting down and saved Russia.

Flash-centric book, with a middling plot. Certainly not up to the standards of the show. There are numerous plot holes throughout that really could have easily been resolved.
