Utterly Disappointing,
By "intellibomb" (Portland, Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JLA WildC.A.T.S, Covert Action Teams (Paperback)
I've been a Grant Morrison fan For years, and have read a great amount of his work. Which is why I feel justified saying that this is easily the worst thing he's ever put his name on. Other than the dialogue between Batman and Grifter there is a complete void of characterization. Which is surprising considering the very human banter he had produced among all the numerous J.L.A issues he wrote. The plot is also very flat and atypical... this bland, fomulaic book. Let it be said that I was rather unhappy with my purchase. BE WARNED!!!

best of both worlds,
By pig doctor (cali) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JLA WildC.A.T.S, Covert Action Teams (Paperback)
JLA/ WildC.A.T.S. has to be one of the greatest JLA stories ever crafted. Its only rivals in JLA supremacy are Morrison's Rock of Ages and Earth 2. The JLA face an epic crisis (that surpasses all of those other Crisises) dealing with a villain as powerful as God. This is a master writers version of Marvel's Infinity Gauntlet, without the poor convoluted cameos and filler. This short blockbuster is written with a unique existential grace that stretches the limits of imagination. Necessary reading for JLA or Morrison fans. The only minor shortfall is the characterizations of the WildC.A.T.S. are not user-friendly. This is a fault bred into the DNA of that comic from the beginning, so its hardly a problem at all. writing: [8.5/10] art: [7/10]

Rebuttal!,
By Nick Perks (Potters Bar, Herts. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JLA WildC.A.T.S, Covert Action Teams (Paperback)
Had to write this in response to the only other review of this book. It is, in my opinion, one of the best of Grant's JLA stories - and that is saying something! The dialogue is crisp, the plotting tight and ingenious, the characterisations larger-than-life and - a strange thing in such an episodic book - there are no chapters... Grant Morrison at his "conventional" best.

a very pretentious team-up story...,
By A Customer
This review is from: JLA WildC.A.T.S, Covert Action Teams (Paperback)
Grant Morrison writes very bizzare stories and this team-up with the JLA and the Wildcats is the strangest of all. You could read this five or six times and still not know what the story is or where it is going. If Morrison is a such a good writer, then why can't he write better comic scrips...?
