Review Justice League By Christopher Priest Deluxe Edition Portrayed By Christopher J. Priest Formatted As Kindle
story is a bit like the inciting incident of Marvel's Civil WarStamford, It's applying the logic of "Who are these heroes accountable to" with the DC Universe, which I don't think has been often tackled outside say "The Watchmen" and Suicide Squad runs.
Welldrawn characters, engagement with the political problems of superhero teams, an aboveaverage understanding of physics combine for an excellent superhero comic, This volume puts the Justice League in the middle of some real life political intrigue and shows that sometimes even super powers aren't enough to solve the world's problems.
We also get to meet the Red Lion, who seems to be DC's answer to the Black Panther,
Good volume, good art, a little different than most JLA stories, which is a good thing in this case, When Batman makes a fatal mistake, it triggers a series of events that threaten the very existence of the League itself, And when the team's greatest fanone who knows seemingly all of their most closely guarded secretsdecides to take the League's redemption into his own hands, the body count begins to rise, with the world holding the Justice League responsible! Things only get worse when the fan's efforts bring the Watchtower crashing to Earth, ravaging an African nation and resulting in the fearsome Deathstroke being hired to intervene on behalf of that country's ruler: the Red Lion!
This deluxe edition features gamechanging stories from writer Christopher Priest Deathstroke and artists Pete Woods Robin, Superman, Ian Churchill Teen Titans and Philippe Briones Aquaman.
Collects Justice League. An original take on a JL story, Great writing here. The art though, too many artists and not of the highest quality, I'm a fan of Pete Woods usually but not his best work here, Christopher Priest tackles the Justice League with his usual brand of unapologetic storytelling, and throws a politically charged storyline their way that other writers wouldn't even dare to touch.
Priest has some great ideas with this arc, These ten issues can be a hard read at times, and pose some moral quandaries that I'm surprised have never been examined more thoroughly by the team, While never giving solid answers, he discusses both sides of issues through the characters and allows the readers to make up their own minds as well as offering the idea that actually, there might not be a clear cut answer to life.
The subplot featuring The Fan, a Justice League fanboy who is basically a walking JLA: Tower Of Babel, isn't quite so successful, He manages to outsmart the team more than once, but he never feels like a major threat in battle, with his machinations far outstripping his actual physical presence.
The resolution of this story almost feels like an afterthought,
On art, Pete Woods handles most of these issues with some assists mainly from Phillipe Briones and Ian Churchill, Justice League should really be a book full of heavy hitters, and none of these three really fit that bill in my opinion, but their contributions aren't bad at all, if a little pedestrian.
Priest's Justice League run is an interesting one that I doubt will appeal to a wide audience, but if you want your heroes a little more cerebral and a little more grey area, then this run is one you should definitely invest some time in.
