Justice League #3

Geoff Johns: writer

Jim Lee: penciller

Scott Williams: inker

Now this, this is some Geoff Johns style that I enjoy. Little character moments that make for a much bigger story than before. It is amazing what can be done once we get past the heroes fighting heroes plot.

So we get introduced to a Wonder Woman who is very different from her own title. This book is set five years in the "past" from the main Wonder Woman book's "present." And her fight entrance later on in the story is one excellent way of introducing a warrior to her fellow comrades.

We also get to see Superman shine in this issue. He is tossing the minions of Darkseid like no tomorrow. Although I feel the moment after Wonder Woman enters the battle and Superman tells her "You're strong" and Wonder Woman's response is a totally steal from a classic Star Wars moment.

Could we please just stop with the Batman has no powers talk? I think after last issue it was done to death, but go ahead and beat the horse one more time this issue. All the other moments make up for this one bit.

We also see how Cyborg becomes who he is. From his stand point, I still don't care for him as a character. There has to be some sense of character there with him other than the fact that he's sad that his dad doesn't visit him at his games.

But speaking of character moments, why is it that the last page of this comic shows a much cooler Aquaman who expresses in a few lines more about his character and who he is than in the two issues of his main title? And both stories are being written by the same guy? That's weird.

Jim Lee's art is just that - Jim Lee's art. He has had what feels like the same style throughout anything he does. But, when you need a big showdown of your main characters in a superhero book, you don't miss out with Jim Lee drawing it. This issue feels more like it has earned the name of the book than the previous two issues have shown. It needs to keep up this pace.
