Justice League: The World's Greatest Superheroes by Alex Ross & Paul Dini

Product Information

Coming off their previous project, Earth X from Marvel Comics, Alex Ross, Jim Krueger, and Doug Braithwaite started on Justice, a 12-issue bi-monthly series. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

Unfortunately, the story doesn't stand up as well as Marvels or Kingdom Come, or and of his Retro City work.It reminded you of what you were familiar with, but he could remix a character or a concept into an entirely new and intriguing one. And then you put them all in the same room and everyone needs to have a line of dialogue and somehow have that dialogue reflect their character or whatever and it all gets a little, you know, sad, and overblown, and kind of every bad stereotype about superhero comics gets played out in horrible, exacting detail. John Stewart is given Jordan's ring and uses it to erase the heroes' secret identities from everyone's minds and to destroy the worms.

Superman Twentieth Century by acclaimed comic book artist Alex Ross, is a portrait on box canvas of the Superman character as he looks down over the streets of Metropolis at night - cape flying in the wind in this iconic. Bottom Line : This is a more realized collaboration between Alex Ross and Jim Krueger than Marvel’s Earth X (ugh! In an interview, Alex Ross jokingly compared the series to the All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder and All-Star Superman, two comics which like Justice take place outside the existing DC Universe.

There's nothing remarkable about that, but this time around they kind of think they're doing the right thing for humanity. I think Kingdom Come (another overrated “classic”) is remembered so fondly that DC decided to try for a sequel of sorts in Justice (even though it is in no way a sequel) because of the Alex Ross art which is why Ross’ name features so prominently above the title and Jim Krueger’s is way down the bottom. The story is great too, it was nice seeing all the silver age versions of these characters in a modern style story. Why is there a pointless scene between Elongated Man and Plastic Man arguing over who’s the more important stretchy superhero? The clash between Luthor and Braniac was great, as those two on the same team, you had to expect, they would be trying to deceive one-another to their own ends.
