Fantasic artwork. Good read. I normally do not like dc except for Batman and he is definately the savior in this story. There are 3 volumes.

I was losing my faith. My passion for comic books, whether it be the art or the script and story lines, was fading in the wake of DC Comic's seemingly ridiculous desire to create yet another wave of alternate reality. In short, the Justice story line hits the mark - hell, it blows the target to bits with a story line and art steeped in tradition, yet free of "infinite crisis", "zombies" (didn't Marvel do the zombie thing, like 5 years ago?)and "multiple earths."
Call me old fashioned, but it's very refreshing to read a story where you don't constantly require a primer on time/space variables, boom tubes and which Earth has a Superman and whether or not the Caped Crusader is dead. All the heroes and villians of the DCU are present. Their respective flaws and failings merely complimented by their multipe stregths. The story and art are simply stellar - although at times busy, as some of the panels tended to have so much happening. But all in all, a true page turner and a great read for DC fans who like to keep things simple.

The first volume of "Justice" is a promising opening to the series but there are some problems. The art is excellent and often quite striking-Alex Ross is on his game. There are some interesting concepts mentioned in the various notes from the author's introduction to an appendix focusing on various characters told in Batman's voice. The basic concept is that every villain thinks he is a hero and certainly that is the case with men of convictions like Lex Luthor and Black Mamba. However it can not be said for some of the other bad guys such as the Riddler and Captain Cold. "Justice" tries to recreate the old Super Friends and Legion of Doom rosters from the old cartoon and herein is the chief problem of "Justice". There are simply too many characters and it is hard to take interest in some of them (for example, Red Tornado). While a solid effort all in all, "Justice" could have used a bit more focus. Nonetheless, fans of the DC universe will enjoy it and fans who care more for art than plot and characters will, and should, adore it.

This comic was not nearly as good as I was hoping it to be. I'd heard it was an homage to superfriends and the legion of doom, so I was excited as I like all those characters. Sadly, the story was a bit choppy, and despite the nice visuals, just wasn't very captivating. And the horrid rotten cherry on top was the last page. Tip to comic writers, please stop trying to tear down our comic icons and make them more 'human'. They are not human, they are not supposed to cry when they are getting beat up and scream for help. Sorry, that is not the way a superhero acts. I felt like whoever wrote that last scene (my suspicion is that it was Ross) should feel ashamed of the dung they flung on our icon. The last page sealed my decision to avoid the rest of this trashy series.

For me this is a near perfect comic collection. Collecting Justice 1-4, this is a terrific set up for the rest of the series collected in 2 more trade paperback or hardcovers. The artwork is terrific with a nice amalgam of Braithwaite pencils with Ross painting over them. The writing is terrific, and the fact that this is an out of continuity story which uses the 70's version of these characters makes this is very accessible story for anyone. I won't recap the story since that has been done a dozen times in other reviews. I will gladly put this story up with my copy of Kingdom Come.
