What a ride.

Crouch managed to write a story that is fast-paced, thrilling and yet profound.

It’s the pure definition of sci-fi: how would technology X affect our lives? On every level. From an individual to a society, on a day-to-day basis or on a high philosophical plan.

I have many good things to say about this book, and very little issues with it. It’s is sad, fascinating, funny, deep, original, and a heck of a page turner. One of my best reads of 2020. I highly recommend it!

Not bad per se but not quite as good as the first volume. It doesn’t have its originality or even its great pacing. The characters arcs feel forced and the whole story isn’t that great. The art is the same, but for some reason feels less inspired, probably because the story is less inspiring..

I have never been a big fan of the JLA books (even though I'm a big fan of the JL and JLU animated series), but I have to say that I very much enjoyed that one.

The first two stories are OK, but also represent what I do not like about JLA: unfocused, jumping from one character to another, a meaningless villain, etc. However, when we actually get into the main story, it gets a LOT better.

The plot is interesting, if over-the-top (heck, it is JLA), Ra's is a villain I enjoy, the pacing is great, and the conclusion is smart. All in all, a fun superhero story, one I'll got back to once in a while.
