This was great! I don't know why DC decided to cancel this series! From what I've heard, it was doing pretty well in sales, and for good reason!
Booster Gold is one of my favorite DC characters, and it's great to see him leading a team. It's even greater to see that he leads the team well. Rocket Red is a fun character and I like his pseudo-rivalry with August General in Iron. Speaking of the General, I didn't really like him in "52", but this book made me really like him; he's one of my favorites in this series.
There are really only two things that I don't like about this book: 1. Vixen didn't do much of anything. I like Vixen, I think her powers are cool (although, Animal Man does it better in my opinion), and I think she's a good character. I would have liked to have seen more of her. 2. Godiva. I don't care for her. At all, really. But I'm not going to hold those things against this book.
Now I can go out and buy what remains of this series before it got cancelled, issues #7-12 and the annual.

Pretty normal superhero stuff, including a mini-Galactus. I think they threw Batman in there just to get people interested. There were a bunch of other heroes I didn't recognize and none of them were really memorable. Guy Gardner (a green lantern) was especially irritating and Booster Gold, who is usually super irritating actually didn't suck as much as he has in the past. I don't think this series lasted very long.
The whole tRumper domestic terrorist thing was kind of disturbing, but at least they got their asses kicked, a couple times.

This was fun. Reminiscent of the old JL stories. Could have used more character background though.

Not bad. I'd give it 2.5 if GoodReads allowed half stars. This particular story arc wasn't anything to interesting, but it showed potential.

Booster Gold pretty much ruins everything he touches and the camaraderie between him and Batman is absolutely annoying. But, if you like Guy Gardner, this is a decent story for him. And, the team is interesting enough even though I wish Blue Beetle was in this current lineup.

Maybe I'll blame my slight delirium from being ill but I actually enjoyed this despite its problematic qualities (for instance, I love Batman, but did he need to be in here lecturing everyone? Not to mention the somewhat stereotypical "Red" Russian and Lao Tsu-esque Chinese characters). It's a shame JLI "stopped" -- I always did think it had such potential as a series about a group of misfits from around the world. Like Captain Planet!

Fairly average, but better expected (whether that is due to it being a good read or the appearance of Batman, who knows).

This felt like the middling arc of an aged, lackluster Justice League International, and not an exciting reboot of a beloved franchise at all.

We have a handful of D-listers that are basically poorly copied versions of the Inhumans, FF, and X-Men, all struggling to get off the ground as a team that was brought together solely for the use of the U.N., but actually just to stroke the spy dude's ego.
Then there's Batman, who is performing the roll of Booster's personal cheerleader. Which, if he's so intent on Booster leading this team, why did Bats tell Steve Trevor that he's worked with the JLI and wants them shut down (in JL: The Villain's Journey I believe)?
Maybe the Last Great Screw Up happens in the second volume. I just don't care enough to see what it is.

This squeaks out the 5 stars for the fresh-take and of course the humor involved. Nothing ultra outstanding involved, but it was an enjoyable book overall.
