Justice League of America #4 - DC


Another very cool book. But how could it not be with Brad Meltzer and Ed Benes at the creative controls? We get to see a lot of heroes this issue, but who's in and who's not? Want a roll call so far? Ok, there's Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman obviously. Then we got the other team of Green Lantern, Black Canary and Arsenal. In the wings we have Black Lightning, Hawkgirl, Flash, Vixen, Geo Force and of course the Red Tornado. Whom most of this story revolves around. It seems Professor Ivo has stolen what used to be Reddy's robotic body. He was upgrading it, for what GL thought, was a place for Amazo. But actually it was meant to house Solomon Grundy. This book, and this team, has always had so much potential. This last incarnation, I think, was the best to date. Especially right in the beginning with Grant Morrison and Howard Porter. But I'll tell you what, these last 4 issues are, in my opinion, arguably the best Justice League books I've read. Ever!!! If they can keep this pace up, this is destined to be an instant classic. We already have a golden age of comics, so I think we may be entering the Platinum one. What do you think? Will it catch on? It was worth a try. Anyways fantastic book, and series. If you aren't on board this train, you're really missing a lot.
