I really didn’t know what to think of this. I picked it up because of Darwyn Cooke, who
has never steered me wrong before, but I’m really not into Justice League or
any of those superhero conglomerates (aside from X-Men, I suppose). Therefore, I found this a bit weird. The cliffhanger is amazing, so I can only
imagine vol. 2 is where it all pays off?
It’s very Ameri-centric, à la Red
Son, but like that, in attempting to satirize, I think it did not critique
as closely as it could have the very thing it wanted to satirize. As in Red
Son, it’s Batman and Wonder Woman who come out the most rational. I’m not really familiar with the other
characters so whatever vagaries they are going through as homages to the Silver
Age, it’s lost on me. Nevertheless, I
can sort of appreciate the Watchmen-esque
territory this is going into. Will I
read on? We’ll see.
