From The Longbox: JLA #10
SUMMARY:
The book opens with a shadowy group making plans to attack the JLA. At the end of their monologue, they release the Revenge Squad. Solid holograms of the Justice League themselves. The League quickly makes short work of them. Afterwards they are yelled at by a local man for all the damage done to their neighborhood.
Batman has an idea for Green Lantern to follow a possible spectrum that leads him to an open area of space. Unbeknownst to him, that space is occupied by the Injustice Gang and is being hidden from the minds of the League by a telepathic alien. J'onn, who noticed a signal coming from deep space, and took a captured Martian spaceship to investigate it sends a fearfull message to the League that something is terrible is coming to Earth.
REVIEW :
Usually set up issues are lengthy monologue filled first issues of a story. This one however begins with a bang. The first half is nothing but action. Quite a welcome twist. O the Injustice Gang, only Lex Luthor is really introduced, the others stay to the shadows. However, if you are familiar with DC comics, you can make out the shilouettes.
I am not a very big fan of the way Lex Luthor is acting in this issue, I know he is arrogant, but this is a level of arrogance reserved for those who are faking it in order to mask true insecurities. Still ... I can't see anyone better to lead the Injustice Gang. However, if he was the leader and truly that arrogant, I do not think he would sit still for being in a "gang".
Minor complaints aside, Grant Morrison is still stearing the ship in the right direction, and his co-star Howard Porter is keeping up just fine. Chapter one of "Rock Of Ages, is easy to recommend.
