Great story, Great concept. Incredible art. Particularly liked the direction taken for Aquaman.

I am not embarrassed in the least to acknowledge that I did not give Justice: Volume I a rave review. I enjoyed it, but I frankly claimed it was more of the same and didn't break any new ground in terms of originality.
Let me be the first to admit that Justice: Volume II more than exceeded my expectations. Everything that I didn't like about the first volume has evaporated with the second. In this volume, we finally see the heroes being treated as interestingly as the villains, and we finally get to see them taking some action and proving why they are CONSIDERED heroes in the first place. And best of all? We finally get to see the heroes interact in this volume.
And interact they do! It's obvious Alex Ross, one of the plotters and cover artist and general superstar, has an affinity for the silver age mythos of the DC Universe, and he's doing his best to intersperse them throughout this entire storyline. We've got some wonderful dialogue between characters we love to see talking with each other, though we normally wouldn't think of them being in the same room. And, what really rocked me hard, Aquaman is presented as a man who actually COULD be a king of seventy-five percent of the earth.
Okay, so this volume is far and away better than the first, which makes total sense considering it's the second installment of a three-volume storyline. The art is very attractive, the plot is interesting, the dialogue is entertaining, but if you're a DC Geek like me, the sheer number of characters intermingling is a joy.

I'm a huge fan of Alex Ross, but I felt the illustrations in Volume 1 were somewhat - I don't have another term for it - muddied. Volume 2 is back to what I expect when I see an Alex Ross book: amazing depictions of old friends (I've been reading comics just about since the beginning of the Silver Age). Volume 2 has all the visual twists, surprises, and delights I had expected from the beginning.
Sigh. Now he's just made waiting for Vol. 3 all that more painful!

This book is awesome. The story is really good, the art by legendary artist Alex Ross is incredible. What more can I say if you purchased the first volume,you most defiantly have to own this one.
