When fighting powerful people, good people will always get hurt.
Simply amazing…..
One of the most mysterious characters within the DC universe who’s managed to be placed within a major role after Blackest Night, Maxwell Lord has became one successful highlight within the Brightest Day event.
Among other villains who are sharing their spotlight, Justice League: Generation Lost has managed to not only involve Maxwell’s character properly, but also managed to define him within this very issue. As a villain fan, I’ve always felt how this behind-the-scenes mastermind never received much attention until now, after making his move by violently killing off the newest Blue Beetle exactly the same way as he did with the original. Buying this issue, I was simply amazed as to how writer Judd Winick explained Maxwell’s dark history and how he became the monster that just about every hero currently sees him as. What’s interesting with this issue is that it has you thinking, is Maxwell Lord at fault for what he does? Is he the misunderstood hero that he claims himself to be?
But most of all, after the violent death of Blue Beetle, what happens next?
It's the fact as to how Winick managed to focus onto something that's been overlooked throughout DC history and has readers questioning about the heroes within the DC universe. To where Maxwell hasn't overlooked the results of certain incidents and as to how he's been driven as a hero killing mastermind that made him the serious threat that we see today within this series. All this is exactly the reason why I was simply amazed on to how Winick properly brought a man like Maxwell further into the DC universe and gain such a success among many readers
Justice League: Generation Lost is a must have issue that is advised to added into your weekly collection or pull-list, most of all this issue alone. Even though the build-up within this series is slow and has a stretched pace, it’s the fact that after every single issue Maxwell Lord has found himself making the lives of each member within this newly installed team of heroes a living hell. Naturally I would give this issue a four in a half, but seeing how Winick managed to give some very valuable info about Maxwell’s confused history and gain my absolute interest at the same time as to how he successfully displays Maxwell’s character, I couldn’t help but give this issue a full five-star rating.
Thankyou for reading and if you haven’t had the chance to read this issue or catch up on what’s been happening, then it’s advised not to miss out.
