Justice League: A Cry For Justice First Look

There's been talk of a new Justice League team led by Hal Jordan. Here's a look at what we can expect.

Here's what we've been waiting for ever since Black Canary went off on Ollie and Hal in the last JLA issue.  In July, "Justice League: A Cry For Justice" mini-series comes out written by James Robinson and will have art by Mauro Cascioli.  According to DC's blog, this is the "preliminary cover."  I have to say, it looks pretty dang sweet.

Thoughts?  Do you need a napkin to wipe the drool of anticipation off your face?

EDIT:  Here's some more images.

The rogues gallery and art work alone will make this series worth a read for me but the lineup at present feels kinda incomplete to me. Maybe it's just 'cause I'm used to seeing jackloads of big name DC icons in a JL line-up but it feels like they need 1 or 2 more. I mean Hal, Ollie, Batwoman, Ray Palmer and Supergirl are the makings of a really solid team but Congorilla and some blue dude? *shrugs* guess we'll see how that pans out. Either way I think JL wasn't going the right way with Black Canary, feel sorry for Ollie dude, thats the kinda girl you don't want to marry no matter how hot she is, a consumate nag with a 'memememememe' complex.

That artwork looks likes its somewhere in between a traditional comic-book look and the ultra-realistic Alex Ross style and the result is distilled black-label awesome.

"Why is Captain Cold there? Shouldn't he be with the Rogues waiting for the inevitable clash with Barry Allen?"
Essentially.

Plus he's not really an enemy of anybody on Hal's League and his relationship with most of the other bad guys is strained at best.  He probably doesn't like Joker (considering his disdain for Dr. Light), he doesn't like Luthor, and for the most part he doesn't like Grodd.

It just seems like a nearly classic Legion of Doom lineup.  Which is all well and good except its a really unorthodox (and short lived) Justice League that its going up against so you really don't need a classic LoD at all.

But the art is spectacular.  I'm not familiar with Cascioli but damn.  That stuff looks great.

Hate that this series was downgraded from an ongoing to a miniseries :(

The main series has sucked for quite awhile and was ansious to add this as my new series to get my fix of the JL

Didio said it was because the artist took too long drawing to be able to be part of a monthly schedule, why not simply put a new artist after the first arc?

Nice artwork.  I like the team roster, especially The Atom. Always thought he should be more proactive.  Batwoman is an interesting inclusion.  Supergirl--awesome. 
I assume GL will be the leader.   May have to check this one out.

That was the dumbest thing ever! Why make a reference to something the reader doesn't know what you are talking about. They should have at least started the "Cry For Justice" so we have an idea whats going on. Or make like a "filler" arc so that they could put this issue out when CFJ does start. I don't think I've seen a book reference to an event the reader can't read yet."
i thought the reference was just him leaving her team to go play with hal

I am.  The team is Hal, Olllie, Supergirl, Batwoman, Congorilla, Ray Palmer, and the dude in the top left who looks like a blue martian manhunter.  I forget his name.  Anyway, I hope it's sweet!

I think a team of six is a decent sized team to be honest.
