    Review: Justice League of America #50

    The Crime Syndicate's arrival heralds a new bout of multiversal conflict that already includes the Tangent universe and a batch of alter-reality New Gods.
     

    The Good

    I'll hand it to Robinson. I was getting concerned that the CSA's plans here were going to contradict the point of the Earth 2 OGN. So I was quite relieved by the fact that they not only remember the nullifying power of Earth 1, they've also taken what they learned to forge an even scarier plan. This issue also ends with one hell of a cliffhanger. You aren't going to predict who the "Omega Man" is, nor what the grave implications of his identity.

    The Bad

    Even though this a double-sized issue, it still feels like too tantalizing a tease of  the multiversal action I was hoping for. We really only get to see the CSA show up, then some teases about the Tangent-verse and the shocker with what I presume are mirror visions of the New Gods. I don't know how long this arc is going to be, but I wish we'd gotten a bigger chunk of it here.
     

    The Verdict - 4/5

    I'm a sucker for alternate reality stories, so I could honestly just enjoying this on the basis of seeing the CSA and the Tangent universe return - - and then also guessing which New Gods the characters at the end corresponded to. While I enjoyed the last arc with the Starheart, I'm a lot more eager to find out how the JLA is going to handle this army of dopplegangers and decaying alternate worlds.

           First off lets marvel that we are reading issue 50 of this current volume and its lovely cover by Ethan Van Sciver.....ok that done now onward to the review.   James Robinson has been a bit uneven on his run with this current lineup of hero's.  The book at times seems overly filled with "we're in the JLA" moments.  Which this issue does have a brief fore ray into again but it was brief.  I like the character moments but their shock of being in the group needs to end.  The opening scene,...

      The Good: Crime Syndicate. They are a seriously awesome and incredibly interesting group of characters who are severely underused. They avoid all the classic 'evil counterpart' cliches, and can be really interesting characters on their own. Seriously, DC needs to make a CSA ongoing series. that's be really interesting. Earth 2 continuity is observed. Owlman reminds Super Woman of the fact that they can't win; and everyone is written very well. There's a whole lot of nice little touches. We get t...
