    Review: Justice League Generation Lost #7

    While the the JLE's having no luck in changing the world's mind about the existence of Maxwell Lord, they decide to take a new approach to getting into Checkmate's secure facility - - stealth. 
     

    The Good   

    It's a funny and sensible for this unofficial JLE to hoodwink Checkmate's savy defenses by pretending to be radical communist Rocket Reds. I especially love the guards' consternation about  being accused of being anti-communist. I've also been enjoying the logic and reason the team's pitting against this nightmarish fantasy situation they've been thrust into - - how they're testing the parameters of just how extensively the rest of the worlds forgotten about Max lord. Bennet's work here too is some rare work where you're just feeling all corners of the art. He never skimps on the detail for the scenery and it always contributes to the storytelling in every panel. It just feels fleshed out.

    The Bad   

    The deliberate pacing on this is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it allows for more detailed character exploration and a modest tone that reflects these characters experience as C-listers who're in an overwhelming situation where everything takes a lot more time and effort than the regular Justice Leauge would have to go through. On the other hand, the title's taken its time to get these characters trying to infiltrate Checkmate.

    The Verdict - 4.5/5  

    Every two weeks, I'm looking forward to reading this title. DC's been experimenting with weekly and bi-weekly content for the past few years and this is definitely one of the best executions of that publishing model. It never feels rushed and, in fact, it feels a lot more polished than other DC titles that are coming out on a less-frequent basis. I'm running out of praise to level on this. Suffice it to say, you'd do well to pick comic up.

      Generation Lost Hasn't 'Lost' It's Mojo. (Excuse the bad pun) 0

      Let me start by putting my pre-conceptions out there, I love this title, I have from the start. Maxwell Lord is a completely brilliant villain, in both character and writing. Booster Gold is a delight to watch, Rocket Red is even bigger comic relief, and evrything is great. I'm also previously a huge fan of Judd Winick for Under the Hood and of Keith Griffin for I Luv Halloween and a lot of other things (Though the latter is oddly absent from this issue). Point is, I'm predisposed to already lov...

      This issue was hilarious to read all thanks to Gavril.I will admit he might a bit offensive to some that actually believe in communism (wich in that case why are you reading comic books,it's own by a capitalist company) but as we seen he's kinda of a hypocrite,he has a blog and he is just happy being in the Justice League (even though this isn't the League).What else is cool aout this issue is that we start with Max getting his White Lantern vision just like in Brightest Day #7.This issue does a...
