Bad Dreams
Like a moth who´s drawn to a flame I´ve become a faithful follower of this spectacular creative team of Krueger, Ross and Braithwaite, not only because of the cutting edge and impressive art work and beautiful colors, but also due to the great dialogues and aproach of characters that Krueger and Ross usually do. The writing team often does a tremendous job in the characterization, the particular details that make a character unique and this was bullseye all the way, no doubt about it. They write Superman capturing all the things that moves and terrifies him, like not being able to save everyone from danger, a Superman who fails isn´t a commom thing to happen, I think it´s difficult to portrait, and when you put the entire Justice League in that same position, the tension and the shame of failure just transpires through all the heroes´pores, just like the scene where Superman is bursting with tears. This is also another feat that amazed me from first page to the last, the large quantity of details, so if you´re an Alex Ross´fan, you won´t be disapointed, this is truly one of his best works. I really enjoyed the idea behind this plot, of the villains trying - in their perverted way - to save the planet from the "aliens" or super powered people and the narrative is very catchy and interesting, but I couldn´t shake the feeling that this was a Kingdom Come kind of idea, there´s some similarity with both series. I loved the dialogues - especially the ones with Superman and his Justice League´s companions - but definitely the best thing here is the art: the combined efforts of Ross and Braithwaite resulted in one of the best art that I´ve ever seen, I was completely overthrown by the art, page after page I just wished the end wouldn´t come. this was a great first issue. I don´t know if the long run will pay off, if the art will continue to be this good (it´s a hard level) or if the plot will turn out to be dull and boring, but evaluating this issue only this gave me high hopes about "Justice"! Highly Recommended!
