Well that was DARK. It was also an incredibly compelling read. Naturally, seeing how Superman and Wonder Woman are characterized is unsettling, and the heartbreaking losses just confirm this as a nightmarish 'what if', but what surprised me was the hope, the funny parts, and how much time Harley Quinn got on the page. Those surprises are why I still want to continue in the series. Art preference per issue varied, will see what comes next. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This was a quick read for me. I enjoyed it. My brother got me into graphic novels. I loved the characters and the plot of the book. The art work was amazing. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

A masterpiece. The questions wrestled with, the stakes at hand, the ART. I'm sure if I had a better handle on the DC line up, I would have grasped a lot more of the cameos from various characters, but, a story that primarily focuses on the big three, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, is easy entry for an intermittent comics enthusiast like myself. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality I often find myself feeling disconnected from heroes with superpowers, leaning more towards humans with skills (Batman, Hawkeye, Iron Man), so the 'humans v. gods' quandary set up as a major theme felt like it to got to the heart of what usually narrows my focus or disrupts my interest in superheroes. 2/? 10mo
Robotswithpersonality And the one year later section? Yes, please! 😁 Because the other thing that tends to turn me off comics, particularly those featuring Batman, is how unrelentingly dark they can be. 3/4 10mo
Robotswithpersonality Just, one question, re: The Spectre:
If you're going to spend every instance of depiction finagling a way to cover the dude's junk, WHY design a character nude with an open front cape?! 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do comic book artists enjoy the challenge or curse the character's existence? 4/4

JLA: Year One Deluxe Edition | Mark Waid, Brian Augustyn

It‘s a Sunday afternoon comics, tea, & biscuits situation over here. I‘m having a lot of fun with JLA: YEAR ONE. It‘s a great look at what happens between the team‘s big adventures, and I get a huge kick out of spotting characters I know from other DC comics and/or the various TV shows. (In the main, I believe Marvel‘s got way better movies and DC‘s got way better TV shows. I can‘t say I‘ve watched ‘em ALL, but I‘ve watched a lot.)

This, although a pick, is a mixed review. Story-wise, I enjoyed it. This was probably the scariest I‘ve seen of the Joker. Overall, super creepy and dark. And I love that. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

But as I was reading, I felt like I had read some of it, while some of it seemed fresh… and that‘s when I found out that they took most of Batman: Endgame, and shoved some new stories in and republished it as a whole different book. Not cool. Slightly skeevy. ⭐️

When you think you‘ve read the whole Snyder Batman run last year (in the goal of finishing all your GN TBR pile), and then your friend finds a random GN at the dollar store…. 😳

If I had read this in 1996 I would have loved it. Reading it now as an adult who has paid attention for the last few decades this strikes me as a comic book epic for political centrists. I found this to be frustrating. I love comic books but I hate the fact that the majority of the mainstream ones seem to lean to the right. I am stopping myself here before I write anymore but it is what it is and Alex Ross really is an incredible artist.
