Slightly disappointing Dwayne McDuffie, one of the creative minds behind the great Justice League Unlimited animated series, begins his run on Justice League of America with The Injustice League, which is more of an ode to the Superfriends cartoons of old than anything else. Lex Luthor unites the super villains to form The Injustice League, consisting of heavy hitters including Joker, Bizarro, Killer Frost, and more besides; and they start systematically taking on the Justice League. While the idea is fun and enjoyable to a point, the storyarc as a whole just comes off as kind of boring. Not a whole lot happens in these pages, and things sadly don't develop well or go anywhere either. That being said, what saves The Injustice League from being comic fodder is the spectacular artwork from artists like Ed Benes and Mike McKone, whose work make The Injustice League worth checking out for alone. Other than that though, The Injustice League is worth a look for JLA devotees, and can be passed by pretty much everyone else.
Should've have been titled Justice League Vol 3: Luthor, Joker, Cheetah, and Killer Frost. The reason for the 2 stars is because I felt that the book didn't go down as described. Sure it's the Legion of Doom, but most of the members are only there just for the sake of an appearance. They don't talk, or even fight the Justice League at the end. The fights that are in this book are brief and disappointing.
The art work was great in some issues though.
This volume collects 4 issues and two uninspired unrelated stories.
Legion of Doom is Back in Business!!! Again like with all my reviews....no Spoilers.
This collection is a great companion to the first two volumes! Who doesn't love to see all the classic bad guys team up?!?! Well this collection has them all from the Joker, Cheetah, to Lex Luthor. I think the greatest thing about the collection is the return of the Legion of Doom HQ! Any of you who remember watching the Challenge of the Super Friends will remember the Legion of Doom's answer to the Hall of Justice which was this headquarters rising out of a swamp. Which to me...always looked strangely like Darth Vader's head....I could be wrong....but I don't think so. Well kids it's all here and you don't have to wait until Saturday morning. Also in this collection the events taking place are around the time of Green Arrow and Black Canary's wedding....which is also included. All around great read - excellent art. A solid 4 out of 5 stars! Looking forward to Volume #4!!!
Classic good vs. evil adventure The latest Justice League of America story takes the league and the reader into the latest action filled with suspense, mystery and thrills. It wasn't too inspiring but it wasn't bad either.
The story goes with Green Arrow and his fiance Black Canary are getting ready for their marriage. As they prepare to wed, members of the league are suddenly attacked and taken prisoner by some of the most diabolical villains of the DC Universe. It turns out Lex Luthor has now formed a new Injustice League and they're more powerful then ever. They actually have now found ways to resist the heroes. One by one, members of the League are badly beaten and taken prisoner the Injustice League. It is up to Superman and the rest of the few remaining members of the League to fight this alliance of antagonists and rescue their friends. This graphic novel may remind you of the classic DC cartoon The Challenge of the Superfriends which also featured the Legion of Doom.
Dwayne McDuffie who wrote for the Justice League Unlimited animated series has written for this graphic novel.The story is well-done, and the artwork is superb. It's a fast-paced story told through 5 issues of the JLA comic book series. The issues Justice League of America Wedding Special no.1 and Justice League of America 13-16 are contained in this graphic novel, plus 2 bonus stories.
