Product Description:
For the last 40 years, DC Comics' Justice League of America has united the most powerful superheroes -- Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Green Lantern -- against some of the most diabolical villains in comic book history. The Ultimate Visual Guide tells the history of the Justice League of America; their epic battles against awesome adversaries such as The White Martians, The Key, and Megaddon; and includes specially commissioned, spectacularly detailed artwork revealing JLA's brand--new headquarters on the moon, Wonder Woman's island home, Aquaman's undersea base, and more.

5 out of 5 stars10 year old nephew loved this book!
I was somewhat worried about getting my nephew a book versus a toy for Christmas, but he loved this book. I flipped through it and the content was fine for a nine years old versus some other comic books that I had looked at.



4 out of 5 starsReview From a Future Critic
I do agree with the person who said that this book should have had more on previous Justice Leagues, but if you just recently got in to comics and want to know more this book is a must have.



4 out of 5 starsAn incredible guide for the Grant Morrison JLA
This guide follows the rest of the Ultimate Guide/Visual Dictionary series of books by DK, with the emphasis on the current JLA envisioned by Grant Morrison.

Full of pictures, and "popup video" style tidbits about the characters, it is a quick, easy to absorb gallery of characters used in the JLA comic book series by DC.

What it lacks is the comprehensive info for the Justice League of America and its other incarnations, but then again, it was listed as JLA: the Ultimate Guide. Because of that it's great for what it's worth. The timeline does make a nice attempt to mention all of its past incarnations.

One thing... it keeps mentioning Triumph, but it didn't really show who this traitorous character is or looks like.



2 out of 5 starsThe Justice League Revised
This is not a good book. If you are a fan of the current "Dark Age of Comics" and revisionist history it may be your cup of tea, but not mine. Yes, it has some decent drawings, but has a cookie cuter style standard with the publisher DK. It favors heavily the current group over past superior line-ups touching only lightly on the Bronze Age Maxwell Lord and Martian Manhunter led inner city groups. It fails to value the fondly regarded Super Friends. The whole thing appears like an ad for the present Justice League. If you are looking for a more fair and balanced overview I suggest petitioning Les Daniels of "The Complete (Superman, Batman Wonder Woman) series to do a Complete Justice League of America. This volume and others in the DC Ultimate series try, but do not hit the mark. They are worth buying, but not at this price. And with a little effort could be improved upon.



4 out of 5 starsBRIGHT, COLORFUL , AND ENTERTAINING
One of the better superhero guides put out recently, this presents a highly entertaining overview of the League. Wisely, it opts to forgo a mind-numbing encyclopediac recitation of every hero who somehow stumbled into the JLA, and instead focuses on the most recent series. For purists, there is a fairly complete (if brief) history of the JLA's previous incarnations, and a detailed timeline that acknowledges both the actual comics and the multiple revisions that DC has made to the JLA's history over the years. Even longtime fans of the JLA should find new information, or at least a convenient (and attractively designed) handbook giving a helpful history of the JLA. Though there are one or two characters that get short shrift (Zatanna and Captain Atom, for example), this book remains one of the more informative and entertaining "ultimate guides". Recommended.
