It’s entertaining, but has the staying power of a stick of Juicy Fruit. These first issues’ major objective is persuading readers to again recalibrate their imaginations so that future stories are less burdened by continuity concerns.
The artwork by Lee and Williams reflects the industry standard for superhero tales: dynamic action is masterfully staged, while bodies suffer from anatomical hysteria. Cocky quips (the Green Lantern to Batman: “You’re not just some guy in a bat costume, are you?”) abound, but do little to change or develop readers’ decades-old familiarity with these characters. The first three collections of Geoff Johns’ stellar run on JUSTICE LEAGUE are here in JUSTICE LEAGUE BY GEOFF JOHNS BOX SET VOL. The plotting and character dynamics are mechanical and cautious: our heroes haven’t really changed, but their costumes have. Beset by infighting, these three are joined by Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, and Cyborg to battle ever-multiplying emissaries sent by Darkseid to collect and recycle human beings. 1 Origin Collects Justice League 1-6 Written by Geoff Johns Pencils by Jim Lee Inks by Scott Williams Released DC Comics, 176-page color hardcover, 24.
