Can't believe i'm up to my 50th book. Been a blast so far though and I'm really looking forward to the next 50.
JLA Rock Of Ages is regarded by many as the greatest Justice League Story ever told. Kevin Smith even went so far as to put it as ‘the best a comic can be.’ Something which DC have proudly printed on the front cover.
High praise indeed.
However, Times change and the classics of yesteryear often age poorly due to changing tastes and sensibilities. Here we are at 2017, almost 20 years since the book’s original release in 1998, and it will be interesting to see if the work has stood the test of time.
If you’ve read my review of JLA Vol 1 then you’ll know I found the work inconsistent. The opening chapters were phenomenal with the latter being less so. I’m very excited to see if Rock Of Ages can deliver on the potential that Morrisson has. Whilst he is my favourite writer I can admit that sometimes his work does not always hit the mark.
I am anxious to see if this can deliver under modern day scrutiny and whether I will regard the book as the triumph that many view it as.
