    While I usually really love Justice League books, I'm not exactly sure that this going to be a traditional Justice League book. No Martian Manhunter and this slow wind up mark this book as perhaps a little slower burn than usual. Also while I love Jim Lee and Geoff Johns, I like how the handle the whole team once its together better than these little vignettes. So I am definitely looking forward to the things to come. I also, really enjoy books where the heroes and law enforcement don't play well together. I really enjoy the added layer of drama. So that too makes me feel good about the direction of this book. The first few pages of the other wise excellent book, seemed a little forced to me or I would have given it five stars.

    Finally, I really love the way Jim Lee is drawing Batman, glad to see his time on the DC Universe video game didn't blunt his skills. I can't wait to see how Cyborg and Wonder Woman are done. Because so goes the art of Wonder Woman, so goes the book. At least in my opinion, she is one of the hardest characters to get right; so here's hoping.

    I just want to add, that this being my first comic from DC in about 8 months. I really felt like I was coming home. Which I think was the whole point of this relaunch. So as I said, 51 more to go!

It's not just a bunch of heroes who have known each other for what seems millennia and just sit about in their big tower or satellite or cave and wait for the next alien so that they may go and punch it in the face. So wh...

      As a disclaimer, I am one of the hardcore DC fanboys. I make no secret of the fact that I am a reader that would follow Geoff Johns wherever he goes. My excitement for the New 52 is palpable.  With that in mind, my expectations for this issue were naturally rather high, and despite this I was pointedly impressed by this first outing. From that first panel, the visual element of the artistic team drew me in and reminded me of my first days as a comic book reader, awestruck in the wonder that thes...
