2 posts | 4 read
When Batman makes a careless error that results in loss of life, the heroes of the Justice League suddenly find themselves facing justice themselves. The team is brought before the law to be held accountable for their actions in a trial questioning the very existence of a Justice League. And now, at the worst possible moment, a new threat strikes. Someone is using deadly means to defend the Justice League. Whoever it is seems to know everything there is to know about the team, from their deepest secrets to how to take down a Green Lantern. Can the Justice Leaguers overcome this opposition when their confidence in their leader is shaken? Or will the League finally lose to the one enemy it can't defeat--the will of the people it's sworn to protect? Eisner-nominated writer Christopher Priest (Deathstroke, Black Panther) and artist Pete Woods (Superman) bring the World's Greatest Heroes into a crisis like nothing they've ever faced before! Collects Justice League #34-38.

Now this... this is some Grade A comic bookery right here.

Bryan Hitch‘s run started with a bang but he hit the exact same notes in his next 5 volumes & I was ready for a change.

Christopher Priest wrote this astoundingly good volume, which kicks off with Batman making a mistake. He was tired. Someone died. & the rest of this book deals thoughtfully with the ramifications while also providing alien cockroaches.

What more could you want?

An interesting hook - Batman, utterly exhausted, makes a mistake that gets two civilians killed and puts the Justice League in a political pickle, but it is unwound a bit by an undercooked stalking subplot that just isn‘t that interesting yet. A good hook can‘t overcome some mediocre-to-bad art and some uninteresting twists.
