Summary: Joe Kelly takes over the JLA
Comment: This collection marks the arrival of a new creative team to handle the JLA, Joe Kelly (writer) w. Mahnke and Nguyen providing the art. In my opinion they do a pretty decent job of filling the rather large shoes of previous writers such as Grant Morrison and Mark Waid. The first story shows the JLA saving the world in a two minute warning. In this story I really enjoyed the diplay of personality of every JLA members before they were called in, i.e. Green Lantern no having enough money to buy a frappachino, then Superman leaving Lois, Batman training w/ Wonder Woman while trying to solve three other cases at the same time. The next story is the Golden Perfect which centers around the breaking of Wonder Woman's lasso and the subsequent alteration of all facets of reality...okay so, it's a little farfetched but still enjoyable. The final and the best story in my opinion is the "Dark Nut Strikes Again". It is a "team-up" (if you can call it that) between Plastic Man and Batman. We find out about the rather tumultuous civil life of plastic man where he has abandoned his son, who has joined up w/ a gang. The boy also has inherited his father's pliable powers. Anyways, Batman scares the boy straight out of the gangsta wanna-be phase. In the story, Batman even comments on how he thought Plastic Man would have made the best father becuse he would always keep his kids laughing. It is really a great story. In my opinion as a JLA reader from the very beginning, Joe Kelly writes the best plastic man. I highly recommend this trade.

Summary: another perfect team
Comment: joe kelly and dough mahnke makes a perfect combination,just like morrison and quitely,or ennis and dillon,or loeb and sale,
mills and bisley,jodorowsky&moebius.
and while i think morrison is very good,i prefer the way kelly writes jla.morrison is better suited for x-men.
the story is fun,the characters well described and used.
there's an exchange between bats and ww that are fantastic.or plastic man trying to get a peek at ww in her chambers.
but the best of it is mahnke's artwork.superior to any of the artist who accompanied morrison on the jla.he's just getting better and better,since his days drawing the mask,and the classic mask versus lobo.he draws plastic man quite a bit like mask sometimes,the wildest i've seen him.
at the end there's a separate short story about bats and plastic man that is just pure poetry.really excellent.
after having read this,i'm certainly getting "the obsidian age" too!

Summary: Fantastic!
Comment: When a child is stolen from under the Amazons' protection, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice League of America (Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Plastic Man, and the Atom) set out to reunite the child and his mother. Finding that the boy is heir to an ancient, hidden civilization, Wonder Woman uses her lasso (the Golden Perfect) to discover the truth. But when the lasso breaks, truth and order become uncertain throughout the whole universe. And now it is up to Wonder Woman to fix the Golden Perfect and the JLA to fix the universe.
As an added bonus, two other stories bracket Golden Perfect: Two Minute Warning, which gives the JLA two minutes to save the world; and Bouncing Baby Boy, in which the improbable duo of Bat Man and Plastic Man must work to save a boy from a life of crime.
This was a really good graphic novel. The graphics were short of excellence, but the story was fantastic! While Flash and the Atom were somewhat minor characters, Plastic Man was used to his absolutely funniest best. It's been a while since I've seen Plastic Man so well represented! My nine-year-old son and I both loved this book, and highly recommend it to you!
