James
Robinson (one of my favorite writers of all time) has possibly made the single
best Justice League story I have read. In Cry For Justice, he takes a bold look
at how the JLA has acted in the past, what is been going on in the DCU, and how real heroes should act in the future, and not just wait for something to happen.
He addresses what makes a hero a hero, and
what separates the heroes from the villains. I loved the change of pace with
the League.
And you don't have to be aware of what has recently happened in the DCU to pick-up
this book, Robinson fills us in as to the heroes motives and give us enough information
to where anyone could pick this up and enjoy it without being confused! Not many
comics can do that.
Prometheus
as the main villain is a badass. I love it when they make C- or D-list villains
suddenly badass. It worked for Dr. Light in Identity Crisis, and it worked for
Prometheus here.
I know that
the dark tone may throw some people off, as well as the strife among the
heroes. But I think it makes for a much more interesting read than just your
typical "super team versus big menace" story-line. And I realize that
a lot of people were upset about what happened to Roy, but I dig his new attitude
that came in the Rise Of Arsenal series that came after Cry For Justice.
Not only do
you get the treat of Robinson's writing in this book, but Mauro Cascioli's art witch
I have always been a fan of, and I love all his depictions of the various characters.
Awesome,
amazing book with a jaw-dropping ending note to boot. I dont remember enjoying a series this much since Civil War.
I,m Waezi2, and thanks for wasting time with me.
Aprils fool, this comic sucks!
