    Review: Justice League: Generation Lost #10

    At Batman's memory falters and Magog enters the scene, this unofficial Justice League sees the numbers of their allies decrease just as the numbers of their enemies increase.
     

    The Good

    The scene where Batman and Powergirl investigate Maxwell Lord only to forget what they're discussing in mid-sentence was downright spooky. I've rarely seen menace underlying a superhero so effectively outside of Morrison's Animal Man run. I really glad to see Captain Atom's role in the Kingdom Come disaster foreshadowed here in that opening flash forward. While I've got some objections about Magog's specific role in this (more on that later) it definitely feels right to have such a memorable story hang over these proceedings like a specter this reassembled JLE desperately needs to prevent.

    The Bad

    This isn't a criticism leveled at this book, specifically, but seeing as how the Kingdom Come foreshadowing takes up a big chunk of this issue, I question how on-point it is for Magog to continue roaming around the DCU as he has. He's supposed to be a parody of Cable and all of the excesses of 90s superheroes... so him sticking around kind of misses the joke, as it were.

    The Verdict - 4/5

    Winick, Bennet and the rest of the crew deserve some applause for putting out a book that's this consistently good on what must be an unforgiving bi-weekly schedule.  While this might be more of an "in-between issue" in the scope of things, it still provided ample questions (Batman's memory, the road to Kingdom Come, the Metal Men's appearance, et cetera) to chew on for the next two weeks.

      Justice League: Generation Lost has me wanting an on-going with Winick writing and either Lopresti or one of the other penciler's on the book.  Every other week I smile when I see this in my pull.  Solid, fun, interesting are just some words that I have used to describe this series to my fellow comic book fans as I entice them into giving it a go.  Most of them had read the old JLI and had no idea that they might enjoy a "modern" take on that team.  I credit Winick with making a simple concept w...
