james_desantis 's review for:
Justice, Volume 2
by Alex Ross, Doug Braithwaite, Jim Krueger
How come I haven't really heard of Jim Krueger? This dude obviously loves Superheroes, and he handles them really well.
So the last volume we were having all our superheroes losing. Like, really really bad. Hell, this volume starts with Superman STILL getting his ass whooped. Then, luckily, the backups for the Justice League are called in to help. This is a really big moment for some secondary characters, and goes to show how each superhero can be extremely important. The villains take a backseats for most of this volume, not narrating it like the last much, and only at the end does it start to show more of their plan.
Good: The art, while again not a huge fan of Ross's style, works well here. This is a depressing story but there's moments of humor that work really well. Actually some great ones with Batman. I know, I was surprised too. I thought the loss over and over again on the heroes and them getting back up and fighting is awesome. I also thought the narration still worked really well here.
Bad: Some of it is long-winded and feels little filler-like in issue 7 and 8.
Overall, I'm really enjoying Justice. I never hear it talked about much but I think this is a great book for heavy comic readers and casuals alike. A 4 out of 5.
