Justice League Vol. 3: Hawkworld
by Scott Snyder
Man oh man....I want to love this but...
Listen. Justice League isn't that easy to do. I've read about 6 runs now and they range from pretty good to downright terrible. Snyder's run isn't the worst or anything but it's a shame that a guy who can create some of my favorite comics (Black Mirror, New52 Batman, American Vampire) is writing this. I just don't get the change in style.
This is basically another volume in which most of the league is split up and having their own stories told. This takes a look at the less popular members. My personal favorite, hawkgirl and hawkman. I'm joking. I fucking hate these two. Not just in this run but for the most part. These two are NEVER interesting, least from what I read, and they get 2-3 issues dedicated to them. We also get a issue with Lex and Martian Manhunter, lex and joker, and lex and braniac.
A surprise is the Lex and Joker issue was pretty fun. I liked the twist and turns on that one. And...
That's it. The rest is exposition heavy as possible, which I'll be honest, made me very sleepy half way through the volume. I also couldn't stand anything with Hawkgirl here. The stuff with Martian and Lex had moments but the ending came off flat. The annual sucked.
Overall...not sure what's happening with this series. I wish Snyder went smaller, personal, and gave us more fun, instead of this "giant" scope which feels too similar to Hickman's Avengers but missing the epic moments. A 2 out of 5.
