I'm a little concerned in the same way for James Robinson's new Justice League series; I hate to see new series start that seem destined to fail, and I'm just not sure where there's a place in the DCU for this kind of title as more than a mini.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment!collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-36519335942297489142008-03-16T19:29:00.000-05:002008-03-16T19:29:00.000-05:00I liked this one too, though I have to admit, the ...I liked this one too, though I have to admit, the premise of this entire series was so anti-Justice League I was constantly thinking to myself, "How can this be a existing ongoing series?" While I really don't think Flash and GA needed to be on the team, Vera, Coldcast, the Ravens, Menagerie, hell, even Major Disaster got good treaments. Kasumi's inclusion was a logical idea, too. <BR/><BR/>The art was super nice (I loved the "stealth black" costume designs), and the characterizations were generally excellent, even if the plots got a little overcomplicated. You're right about the strange bit with the drug runners, it felt very out of place. And what the heck happened to Coldcast's brother?<BR/><BR/>Still, overall (As the story keeps referring to itself...) JLE was a very good experiment. Good pacing, and probably better than JLA during the same period. I hope the team returns at some point in the same vein as Secret Six or Shadowpact.Nhexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324479279997105650noreply@blogger.com
