ubalstecha 's review for:
Justice League International, Vol. 1
by Keith Giffen
This is a collection of the first few issues of the 80s problem filled reboot of the Justice League. So you get the gathering/origin story that is earnest in a way that only the 80s can be. And a guest spot for President Reagan.
This most valuable part of the collection is the introduction. In this we learn two things. First, that this reboot was meant to be a reaction to the Alan Moore darkening of comics. The spit takes and running gags were done on purpose. Second, that the reason why we got the second stringers was the fact that Superman and Wonder Woman were undergoing reboots themselves, and were not available for permanent membership. This lead to a group of second stringers and unknowns that make up the new League.
Good for the completionist, but it will serve to remind most readers of the flaws of this run of the series.
