    Did JLA recover from last issue or just do worse?


    Yet again, another Brightest Day tie-in. So in this issue of JLA, newly added members Starman and Bill. They are training with Dick and Donna. They get to know eachother a little better, which is always a good thing. As their training session is interrupted by a giant green light, the 4 members go to check it out. It turns out that it was a stone that hit earth. Etrigan the demon wants it for some reason. He ends up fighting the league over it and loses. Etrigan then goes away and apologizes. The JSA are struggling to keep Alan alive. Felix Faust shows up and delivers terrifying news of the end of the world. As the league talks this over they decide to investigate the rock. Low and behold inside of it was Jade! The story I thought was very good. I like how they progress as a team and the ending was great. Now on to the details. The cover was poor. I didn't like how they drew the characters. They look distorted. The penciling in this issue was excellent. I loved how detailed it was. The coloring was good. I thought that it was a little too dark, but it wasn't that big of a problem. The art overall was very good. I was impressed with Mark Bagley and Ulises Arreola. The cross over between the JLA and the JSA was very good. My favorite pages were 20,21,30. The combat was very good with Etrigan and the simulation room. The only big problem was the cover and minor art details, but other than that this issue redeemed itself for me. I am glad to give this issue a 3.5 out of 5.

      Brightest Day invades Justice League of America  What You Need To Know. This Justice League is basically the next generation of Heroes.  It has Dick Grayson/Batman, Donna Troy, Starman, and Congorilla so far.   The Good James Robinson does good with what he's got.  Regardless of your thoughts of him, he usually has a strong script.   It shows the struggles of working together in a team. It also shows what can happen when they succeed.   Mark Bagley is as consistent with his characters as ever.  ...

      The second Brightest Day tie-in is upon us as JLA 44 hits the shelves. Besides that, it also could be considered a tie-in to Justice Society of America. But are these newest Brightest Day tie-ins worthwhile? Or like many tie-ins to big stories, are they completely worthless?   The Good JLA can be a hit or a miss for me depending on who is on the team. The new team may not be so exciting for me, but the cameos really drew me in. I'm a huge JSA fan, and the JSA guest starring roles, and the vil...
