JLA: The Deluxe Edition, Vol. 4 by Daniel Curtis Johnson, Devin Grayson, Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, J.M. DeMatteis
4.0

A collection of pretty good stories, and one great storyline at the end.

The start feels very much like Saturday morning cartoon justice league adventures. It is pretty fun and exciting at points if nothing else. The big finale for Grant Morrison's storyline is over the top, kind of stupid, but least it moves at a real fast pace. A bit to erratic at points for me though. Then the final storyline of tower of babel is easily the best story of this collection. With Batman's prevention tools against the Justice League being stolen by Ra and used against his friends Batman has to face the league after.

I think the fact it ended so strong is making me enjoy this collection the most so far. I loved the fallout to Bruce's actions and the way his friends and co-workers reacted was perfect for the situation. While the rest of the storylines were solid it was the final that made me really enjoy this collection.

A 4 out of 5.
