A strong story for the last half of the book, but wasn't too focused to begin with. Promising for the future. Solid writing. Great artwork, too.

Not as much fun as Vol. 1, this story takes a five year time jump, which is necessary for the plot to work (they have to be established as the earths protectors) but doesn't feel right (they sure don't act like they have been working together for very long). I understand why comic book companies tie their titles together so much these days in an attempt to increase readership but this Justice League story is so full of side plots or references to stories in the past (the missing five years or other titles) that it takes the wind out of it's own sails. As the subtitle indicates the most interesting character is the villain and even though he is not a member of the league it feels more like Steve Trevor's story where the Justice League are the supporting cast.

Another excellent volume. Okay so I'm anti-Superman/Wonder Woman, but everything else from the story to the art to the banter between the characters is really well done.

Not as good as the first volume. And, it might just be because I am a newbie to comics, but I did not like that last bit between Wonder Woman and Superman. That is one big NOPE for me.

Trust issues, spirits that feed off of misery...and this:

Green Lantern : “If Batman sprains an ankle, we’ll call you."
Green Lantern to Batman: *whispers* “I’m lying. We won’t call him.”
Batman: “thanks.”

What else do you need? Green Lantern is always good for a laugh.

Toto malo úplne odlišnú dynamiku oproti prvému zväzku. Zatiaľ čo ten predchádzajúci bol o tom, ako sa JL ešte len formuje, tento je v čase omnoho neskôr, keď už je JL zabehnutý tím, na ktorý sa ľudia bežne obracajú, aby vyriešil ich problémy. Čo znamená, že som sledovala niekoľko bojových scén bez toho, aby som poznala nejaké pozadie. Prišlo mi to také epizódne, rozsekané a niekde pri konci som si uvedomila, že toto je vlastne pravý úrod tejto série, až tu som videla všetky dejové línie, ktorým sa chce autor venovať a úprimne sa na to teším. Len mal niečo z toho o čosi viac riešiť aj v tomto zväzku, aby ma to bavilo o čosi viac.

I was really enjoying this book, especially seeing the dynamic between the memebers of the Justice League (I kinda now ship Flash and Green Lantern, this hurting my Flash Green Arrow ship. God I'm conflicted) and then Superman and Wonder Woman got together. I felt kinda sick. They make it out so that they are only together simply because they're "gods". SO because they're both powerful they belong together? No, just, no. This book would have gotten a four if that didn't happen.

I wonder if Geoff Johns has even bothered to read the current Wonder Woman solo book (which is wonderful, by the way), and I wonder if he did read it and just decided to disregard everything about it, from characterization to the story itself. Not only is his take on Diana clumsy and inconsistent at /best/ but he also seems determined to make Steve Trevor/Diana this epic love that once was; never mind that he's not even been mentioned once in Diana's solo book. I understand that this is his incompetent way of creating a love triangle between Diana, Steve and Clark, of course, but the whole thing is plain laughable because Clark and Diana have barely interacted at all.

Really, the first six issues were fun, but now I can't help but to roll my eyes and groan every time Hal Jordan goes on about how "useless" Bruce is because he's got no powers. Especially because all Hal Jordan seems to do is screw up every other issue. At least Johns had Diana give him a deserved verbal and physical smack down - at least there was that.
