4.0 out of 5 stars Some highs and lows, February 21, 2003

This review is from: JLA (Book 5): Justice for All (Paperback)

This graphic novels comprises three or so stories from the JLA. A couple are good and a couple seem to be written high on drugs. Grant Morrison is one of the most inconsistent writers. I don't know why he's praised so much. One of the highs for me was bringing in the living members of the JSA. It's great to see the old Flash, etc. back in action. And seeing Captain Marvel (Shazzam) and Superman battling each other was also a great moment. Too many of the stories don't coincide well. (Some of the action takes place during the "Batman: No Man's Land" era.)And some are there just to setup later stories. Overall, although a mixed bag... it was an entertaining read.

5.0 out of 5 stars JLA Reborn For An Old Timey JLA Reader, March 29, 2002

As an old timey comic reader who followed the JLA in the sixties, this book was a revelation. The artwork is detailed and dynamic, with some of the best coloring work I have ever seen! The stories are a notch above the original JLA stuff and except for the Shaggy Man concept are very engrossing. Bringing in the JSA was a nice touch. It is still my favorite super hero team with their neurosis and bickering thrown into the mix. At the end of the book, a reader can feel they got great bang for the buck. It really whets the appetite for the other TPB's in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars in good company..., July 22, 2001

This review is from: JLA (Book 5): Justice for All (Paperback)

This fine book collects a good number of the best selling series. Any take on the Justice League of America relies on a rich heritage & this could prove good or fatal.

The stories in general are very good but the best read was that involving the secret characters of the heroes rather than the masks...In alter egos...Batman assigns the JLA to track down Bruce wayne... the idea...though relying on previous storylines, is fantastic...on the contrary the lengthy "crisis times five" is messy & the threat is rather ridiculous...

still in everystory it is fun just to see how all the heroes interact & how each of them relate to the new partners...

a very good read to the dedicated fan but the newcomer may miss some plotlines because of the everlasting continuity...
