This Justice League origin story was a quick read, had a couple of good heart to heart moments, but didn’t really feature the 7 heroes all that well within the 6 issues. Some of the choices that were made hold this story back from being amazing, however the action was great and I personally like the more classic art for these characters.
A lot of the heroes act a little strange given that this is supposed to be a reboot, particularly Batman and Superman who felt like they should have been reversed in terms of emotion. Batman was way too heroic right out of the gate and Superman was way too aggressive and angry. Hal Jordan was rather petulant at first, but was the only character who really had any growth so that was nice. The Flash was barely a character outside of his jokes, and Wonder Woman as well as Aquaman didn’t have much depth either. Cyborg was done pretty well though. Darkseid was sidelined hard in this story and was thwarted far too easily.
Overall this didn’t really wow me, but surprisingly none of the issues mentioned above really bothered me all that much. This was pretty enjoyable and sets a solid baseline to hopefully be built upon.
