    Justice League was probably the first title that a lot of people read in the new 52 because it was the first title.  I personally had not real problems with but I had dropped it after the first story arc due to not being able to read every comic that is released.  So I did not read much of the second story arc except for the somewhat necessary "kiss" issue as seen previously.  I thought I might at least pick up this issue though as the Cheetah is featured so prominently on the cover.  Granted that I haven't been keeping up with the series and thus the characterizations, but I think one of the common complaints is that the series is not really capturing the characters from the DC Universe in an accurate way, or to put it another way there are two characters - a Justice League version and a title version.  In the case of this series then it depends on who the reader feels like reading.  I can say though that although I like the new Wonder Woman ongoing that this particular issue seems to be channeling traditional Wonder Woman  much better (as seemingly will the entire story arc.)  I am still not very happy about the romantic pairing of Superman and Wonder Woman, but it doesn't seem to be as much of a problem here.  So this issue I think accomplishes a fair amount with being too sensationalistic or dramatic and does so in a fun manner which is basically all we can ask from it.

It was however a shame to see that Jim Lee was leaving the series but with Daniels doing this issue and the next, and Ivan Reis jumping on as of i...

      THE GOOD: Tony Daniel really knocked this issue out of the park. The amount of details that he adds to the panels were amazing. His style also looked very clean and perfect. His facial expressions are also very strong and help convey the emotions that these character are feeling. The story is much better then what we have been getting for a while. We get to see Superman and Wonder Woman finish up their kiss and then we jump into Wonder Woman vs. Cheetah! It's very cool to see the Cheetah. There ...
