Summary: Some highs and lows
Comment: This graphic novels comprises three or so stories from the JLA. A couple are good and a couple seem to be written high on drugs. Grant Morrison is one of the most inconsistent writers. I don't know why he's praised so much. One of the highs for me was bringing in the living members of the JSA. It's great to see the old Flash, etc. back in action. And seeing Captain Marvel (Shazzam) and Superman battling each other was also a great moment. Too many of the stories don't coincide well. (Some of the action takes place during the "Batman: No Man's Land" era.)And some are there just to setup later stories. Overall, although a mixed bag... it was an entertaining read.

Summary: not what i had hoped for
Comment: I really loved the JLA as a kid and looked forward to sharing it with my son. This trade really disappointed me and on re-reading has disappointed me more.
Story lines: I guess they have run out of acceptable opponents--maybe cause they made the heroes so powerful. One story they confront 5th dimensional beings, in another, 6th dimensional beings. What's next 7th dimension?
Art work: Fancy colors but look at the characters: they are all standing around in muscle poses, hands on hips or arms crossed. The action seems cardboard. Those poses are fine for cover art but should't they look like they are doing things?
I just think things in comics have gone down hill--I will get my son as many reprints from the 50s and 60s and let him appreciate the genre as I have.

Summary: JLA Reborn For An Old Timey JLA Reader
Comment: As an old timey comic reader who followed the JLA in the sixties, this book was a revelation. The artwork is detailed and dynamic, with some of the best coloring work I have ever seen! The stories are a notch above the original JLA stuff and except for the Shaggy Man concept are very engrossing. Bringing in the JSA was a nice touch. It is still my favorite super hero team with their neurosis and bickering thrown into the mix. At the end of the book, a reader can feel they got great bang for the buck. It really whets the appetite for the other TPB's in the series.
