Justice League will always be known as the greatest superhero show of all time. There’s no superhero show that is even close and I doubt that any will ever pass the series. Justice League had awesome animation and character designs, which led to great fights. Was the comic able to live up to the show? Let’s find out!There are six segments in the comic, so we’ll go through them one at a time.

First up was a comic about Girder breaking out of jail. It was around the holidays and most of the JLA members were happily at home. I feel bad for the ones that are forced to stay on monitor duty. What about their Christmas Parties on Earth? Possibly a little out of character for the JLA, but ignoring that, we have a pretty solid comic. The team of Supergirl, Powergirl, Atom Smasher, Star Girl, Firestorm, and Hawkgirl go to confront Girder. Should be a peace of cake right? Unfortunately, Girder is actually defeating them pretty easily which didn’t make much sense. Atom Smasher may be their only hope, but since when is he stronger than Supergirl and Power Girl? They were definitely very depowered in this comic, but it was still pretty fun to read.

The next comic was probably the most exciting. The Government gets Uncle Sam and his Freedom Fighters to infiltrate the Justice League headquarters. They go up there, but the Freedom Fighters throw a sucker punch at the Atom, which leads into a big fight. The Justice League should have mopped the floor with the Freedom Fighters, but they are pretty under powered in this comic. Seems like a running error in this collection right? It was still epic because it felt like the JLA vs Avengers comic, but the fight was a lot shorter.

The next comic was about a cab driver from the future. He goes through time, giving people rides through space. One day he sees a red light and sees Superman on a planet…dying! The Cab Driver is pretty intense and he manages to get Superman into the cab. We find out that he’s the best driver out there and he’s able to dodge many lasers. Superman and the Cab Driver definitely make a good team, I don’t think I’d agree these aliens could defeat Superman. They’re very weak, but they have kryptonite lasers! The art is definitely the most sketchy in this story, but it’s pretty fun to look at.

One comic involved time travel and was one of the weaker comics. Wonder Woman, The Vigilante, and Elongated Man head into the past, where they help some “Old” heroes take down a guy who has stolen some tech from the future. There weren’t any real action scenes and the comic was a bit boring. Not awful, but it definitely didn’t feel like a Justice League comic.

The next comic was about Mary Marvel. After saving the Justice League from possible annihilation, she heads to the watchtower. Martian Manhunter says that Shazam is welcome back on the team, but I don’t see why he would want to come back. Mary Marvel wanted to talk to Wonder Woman, but she’s busy battling a super villain. Supergirl takes Mary Marvel to go see the fight, but they are shocked to see…The Justice League are losing! Once again, the JLA seem pretty under powered, but I can’t say that I was very surprised. Mary Marvel stops Supergirl from joining the fight (Which I don’t agree with) so that they can win the fight using their wisdom. They would have won either way though.

The next comic was about the Justice League trying to stop a natural disaster. The disaster wasn’t as normal as you might have guessed and the Justice League are taken down pretty easily. Gone are the days when Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Vixen teaming up are enough to stop Killer Frost and her partner. After a while, they use the villains’ infighting to their advantage and make this a real fight. This was the worst comic of the batch, but it was still all right. The dialogue was really boring, which is what hampered the comic and I didn’t like Any of the characters.

Finally, the last comic was about the Gypsy. She’s pretty happy to be a member of the Justice League and now she’s a Gypsy in name only. She finds out about a group of villains storming warehouses and alerts the JLA. Unfortunately, the villains claim that they are heroes and tell the JLA that they’ll sue. The Justice League gets out of there very quickly, but Gypsy isn’t entirely convinced. It was an all right comic, but it definitely lacked the action that the first 4 had.

Overall, this was a pretty decent collection of Justice League stories. It’s good to see the DCAU back in action and it was pretty nostalgic. The art could have been better, but at least the fight scenes were definitely epic. For the most part, all of the characters were pretty solid, or about as good as their DCAU counterparts. I’d recommend giving this comic a read if you are a comic fan. Who doesn’t like some solid DC fights right?

Overall 7/10
