I feel like there's been talk of this series for a few months now.  Hal Jordan has had enough.  He feels the JLA is wussing out.  He feels with the dark times that have settled upon the DC Universe, something needs to change.  If this is the case, what will it mean for the future?  Will all teams have to take on a more direct/hardcore approach?  Are we seeing the end of the "fun" times?

Not the strongest first issue but like James Robinson you can tell it will build to something big that will have bigger effects now that he is writing the main JLA book. If you are a fan of Robinson and the League read it if you just want to give it a chance maybe wait for #2 you won't miss much.

Sounds like a pretty good read for the most part.

I like the proactive stance of Hal but I gotta admit I would have rather seen Superman or even Wonder Woman take up this position. Its a decent start in my opinion and the art is badass. GL and GA teaming up again will no doubt get their old school fans excited.

It felt short. Really, really short.

Lol..."Thunder Thighs"

Sounds really good to me... I wish Wonder Woman or Superman would have done this earlier though, but I'm sure we'll still have plenty of fun moments. I hope so...

Looks like a solid read

I was not impressed with this issue.

"Justice!"  if you read the issue you know what I'm talking about and that was my only problem with this issue.

I liked it.

I like alot of things Robinson writes.

hal and ollie on the same team again makes me happy.

DC deserves a better hero and Hal's going too give it too them.

Gotta pick this up.

Dang you G-man i was gonna review this

This issue kind of sucked, the dialogue was horrible and nothing really happened. The Hal Jordan and Congorilla scene were really excellent and deep though. Overall I just hope this series picks up by the next issue.

LOVED this issue. cant wait for next

Nice review Gman

Also Pix an G i noticed the thunder thighs and laughed hyserically

Personally, I don't think it should be a "Hal breaking away" thing but a start to there being proactive League and not a reactive League. Hal had a gigantic point when it came to how the League operates--they always wait for the bad guys to do bad stuff before going and punching them in the face. I think there should be initiative to take these guys down before they have the chance to do so. "

I have mixed feelings about this on one had  I strongly agree, while on the other it does not seem very League/Superman like.

Proactive teams were teams like the Outsiders or others, and than where do you draw the line. It goes from spying on individuals to forming black ops teams and finally becoming the Punisher.

Teams like the Justice League and Avengers originally could afford to be more reactive, instead of proactive. In the Justice League's case the team was full of such powerhouses that no one could touch them. Old School Superman was second to none. This is not exactly true of the Avengers, but it is sort of true for certain incarnations of the team.

But now heroes and villains are much more balanced. Being more proactive makes sense, but I just don't feel like this trend will last with the JLA.

i feel the same way i personally don't like all the dark elements but i can't argue since it makes a good story

Great Art!!!!!

" Dang you G-man i was gonna review this "

this sounds really cool! i think the art is okay for a cover or a painting or something, but a whole comic i think is too much, and a bit too realistic, too many lines, but thats just my taste.

DUDE!!! Zweet ring! Just knowing that Hal is in this kicking butt, makes me want to read it over and over... I think it was a really solid issue, obviously we must take into account that its a First issue and Robinson always works his way to a great story by starting slow...its great and i love it, even though over at NEWSARAMA they're BASHING THE HELL out of this book!

I think its great...just like this review G MAN! awesome!

the art was fucken sexy as shit, i wanna dip my balls in it!!!! "

Good review G-Man. I like the acknowledgement to the Congorilla story at the end. :D

i wonder if he is actually gonna make a new team and who will be on it?

I really liked this issue, G-Man sumed it up pretty much, but yeah i really enjoyed it and even reveiwed it myself.

Unlike, G-Man however i like the depth that darkness and brooding can add to characters and i like my comics more dak than fun!

I like it but the whole Idea of being proactive is not really NEW i mean most of the big heroes do at times get proactive so that not new at all. now if they are going to go out and just kill off the bad guys like the punisher then I may have a problem with that in that I just dont think thats what the justice league is all about. But bringing them to justice is cool and it suits the name better. the justice league of OLD should be named something  more like "disaster relief league" as thats more of what they do.

I gave the issue a 3.5, I like Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Atom, I truthfully don't care for Starman or Cobgorilla at all really, I am looking forward at seeing how Supergirl gets into the "Justice" mood since she was there when Hal was talking, I'm starting to like Batwoman, I like Captain Marvel or Shazam? And I do want to see how he and Batwoman join the team and why, but other then that #1 was kinda of boring to me after Atom's part, still a good issue though, I I am planing on getting the rest of this series, so I have hope for it.
