    New Era... and New Writers!!


    This issue begins with Vixen resigning. Then, we see Donna Troy in a hospital, fighting thugs who have kidnapped children. 
    She then says she doesn't want this life.... Until Diana convinces her to be part of the JLA. The rest of the issue is basically how they gather the next team members. The final roaster? Donna Troy, Red Tornado, Batman, Doctor Light, Cyborg, Starfire, Mon-El, The Atom, The Ray, Green Lantern, Green Arrow and Congorilla. 
     
    The Artwork was Awesome and the characters were respected:  
     
    -Vixen being headstrong and doubtfull about the League
    -Dr Light being doubtfull until Donna convinces her
    -Donna not wanting this anymore until Diana convinces her to get on the league
    -Dick playful and smart
    -Kory & Vic willing to do good
    -Ollie bringing his frustration on fighting "solo" against supervillains, giving up food & rest

     I overall loved this issue and advise you to purchase it... while it's still on the stands! 
    I loved it so much, I think I'm going to buy it a 2nd time JUST for Cover B!!

    Good review!  
     
    I get that Robinson's writing has been pass or fail - mostly fail - lately, but you know the old saying - go big or go home. He did some very interesting things in Starman with a unique and diverse cast of characters. And, while that shouldn't get him a pass on bad choices or decisions, I think this might be an interesting run on Justice League of America. 
     
    I'm curious to see how far along he gets before A) DC decides to reassemble the originalMagnificent Seven - now that Barry Allen is back - B) DC decides that this isn't any different that anything else they've been doing since the book relaunched a few years ago with Brad Meltzer - C) DC decides to reassemble the original classic or Wolfman and Perez' Titans - or D) someone gets bored. 
     
    So far, his writing over on Cry For Justice has been getting notice for the sensationalism rather than the actual storyline, which is a shame. I know he's done other things, but Starman was his most consistent work. It showed a wide range, a broad scope and a peculiar voice. 
     
    I have no complaints about Mark Bagley. Except, that maybe his characters all look alike. I enjoyed his Ultimate Spider-Man and Trinity. I plan one day to actually sit down and read Trinity again straight through without taking a weekly break. 
     
    I want to see where he takes Dick, Donna, Vic, Kori; this Justice League of Titans! maybe this will be right up there with the Giffen-DeMatties-Maguire run on the book.

      Justice League of America #41 - Team History Part One by hyperion322 on January 28, 2010

      Let me start off this short review by saying, I love the way the new lineup of the Justice League is shaping up! Past members of the Titans deserve the status that being a Leaguer represents and I expect nothing but greatness from Cyborg, Donna, Batman (Dick Grayson), and Starfire. I'm also happy that Dr. Light is remaining with the team, but I can't wait till Kimi finds her backbone again and becomes the b*tch of the team (it's so much fun!). Unfortunately because of recent events in Justice Le...

      JLA or New Teen Titans? 0

      Justice League of America #41 - Team History Part One by jhags on February 06, 2010

      The Justice League of America (JLA) boasts the sub-title of "World's Greatest Heroes." Lately, though, the JLA has seen better days. Tie-in events of Blackest Night, Cry for Justice, and Final Crisis have left the League dismantled, losing several members to death, dismemberment and mental health issues. Issue #41 finds the JLA hurting, seeking meaning and rebuilding itself.James Robinson and Mark Bagley continue their run with issue #41, telling tales of a League worn down by trials and loss. A...
