Justice League: Gods & Monsters by Bruce Timm
4.0
I really enjoyed the movie, so I was really looking forward to these prequels.
Wow. Superman‰ЫЄs backstory was intense. Of course it was well-written. It was Bruce Timm. (And J.M. DeMatteis.)
Wow. Batman‰ЫЄs story was even better. And darker. And more intense. I would love to see more stories on these characters. They‰ЫЄre a slightly different take on the heroes.
Dark heroes. Both searching for some form of redemption.
And Wonder Woman? Bekka? She didn‰ЫЄt call herself anything in the story. She‰ЫЄs not quite so dark - more an agent of light. And her story was a bit different. I like the juxtaposition. It will be interesting how they all come together.
These stories had more of an Elseworlds feel than the movie did.
So, the last е_ of the book is about the forming of The Justice League. I thought it was a good choice for Lois Lane to narrate. It really brought the story together.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read - though I liked the 3 back stories a little better than I did the 3-part story of them coming together.
Thanks to NetGalley and DC Comics for a copy in return for an honest review.
