Justice League #8

krspacet's Justice League #8 - Justice League Team-Up: Green Arrow; The Curse of SHAZAM, Part 2 review

Better.....

....but still not the same action we saw while fighting Darkseid.

The green arrow bit is interesting, it shows off the ideas of the Justice League, and uses some DCaU elements of the Green Arrow character.

Though the good elements are what happens behind the action of Green Arrow.

We see the Talons attacking the Justice League, establishing the series timeplace in the story

We see Amazo, a true foe to the Justice League, unlike Spore

And we see that the Martian Manhunter nearly did join the Justice League, but attacked them for some reason.

The series also foreshadows a plot connection to Stormwatch.

And Billy Batson meets his Captain Thunder co-patriots. All in all, both Justice League and Shazam look better this time than last issue

And that's all that matters

After the six issue opening arc that seemed to plod along for far too long, the done-in-one's of issues 7 and 8 have been a relief, and make me all the more eager for the next longer story. Issue 8 sees Green Arrow try to join the Justice League, we learn why the Justice League are so unwilling to expand their membership, and a classic Leaguer reappears in a very unexpected way.I'm not going to say much in the way of Shazam. The story is being delivered in piece meal, and I honestly don't have m...
