Review for Justice League #3
What I've learned about the new 52 from the Justice League:
-Superheroes still fight superheroes as a way to "tell" a story.
-Wonder Woman and Aquaman have completely different characters than in their own titles.
-This issue took three issues to tell two issues worth of story.
-Cyborg has daddy issues.
-It apparently takes a lot for heroes to stop fighting to be able to talk about the common enemy that has appeared in all three issues and has confronted all of them.
And yea. Other than that, I don't really have a lot more to say. This book took three issues to finally get off the ground for me when it should have taken just one. This is the flagship book with the flagship creators and they don't hit their stride until the third issue?
If this was a stand alone series that was just made to let the creators flex their muscles and go crazy with the characters then this would be just fine. Not like this.
Maybe now it will be more for me from here on out. I was going to drop this book if it remained as stale as it did the first issue. Now I'm going to go to an issue by issue basis, mostly because the third issue really started to move the story forward.
Overall averages for issues #1-3:
Words: 7/10
Pictures: 7.3/10
Overall grade for issues #1-3: It should have been better than this. This is a 7/10 for any creative team. For this creative team and the expectations, 5/10.
