krspacet's Justice League #7 - The Villain's Journey, Prologue; The Curse of SHAZAM, Part 1 review

    A rocky start to the next story arc

    Sometimes the bridge to greatness is shaky

    This comic is like that

    It lacks the high action that it had in the first issues. Personally, JLI is a more entertaining read than this one if all the chapters have this, despite Batman's muttering

    The spore character is a bit.....well he's not really the kind of villain the JL is supposed to fight. A solo hero could have handled him, and his sort of science based form means that even two of the cancelled guys; Mr. Terrific and Static, could have taken him alone.

    But......

    The issue itself was as satisfactory as the Static comics I like, and I mean the more stomachable volumes...or Blue Beetle. I hope personally they can be pulled from this rut before it starts.

    On another note, it would appear the Shazam story has a new take on itself...wonder how that will go? Also, any one here the Orb of Ra? I sense Metamorpho or Element Woman

Everyone is shoved into the same space along the middle of the cover, with meshing colors so I can barely tell anyone apart. Then the backgroun...

      The Justice League is now brought to the present and we have guest artist Gene Ha step in for Jim Lee.The Good:With the team now established and everything brought into the present, that means less time introducing each character and a little more time on story development. We have a little bit of both in this issue with the introduction of a new villain posing a minor threat and a focus on Steve Trevor this time around. The new focus on Trevor is a refreshing one and his "relationship" with Dia...
