I know this may seem a little silly, but I didn't like it from the beginning because it really doesn't build the suspence.
First of all, we know the JL isn't dead in the first issue. Come on, this is superhero comic books we're talking about. One or two of them may be temporarily dead, but they will be brought back soon. So when Batman goes all dark and says "Everybody died" I just go "yeah, right".
Second, if they are able to defeat the league immediately, why NOT actually kill them? James Bondery, I think.
Third, we're in 2013. Stop having Superman move the Moon. I get this is Sci-fi, but the good thing about it is that you can invent any kind of futuristic science and the reader will accept it. Instead moving the Moon is silly, it's something that, in our day and age, a child know it can't be done. Everybody knows that moving the Moon would have disastrous consequences on the world. Also, if you stop it, the Moon will get sucked by our gravity.
I know, I know, you might say that most of comic book science doesn't make sense, and I get what you're saying, but I think that when employing sci-fi devices one should avoid first grade science. Like we can accept that an alien has a weird phisiology: we don't know that alien in real life. But moving the Moon by hand is something that leaves nothing to unkown science. We know what it would mean and what it would cause.
Point is, I think it was lazy of the author. He could have had Ultraman obscure the Sun in many other pseudo-scientific ways.
Ok, rant over, I know it doesn't make much sense but if we don't unreasonably rave in here, what the hell.
Also, beside the Moon thing, I'm not liking the story very much.
