Justice League the New 52 Omnibus 1

I have been a fan of DC Comics since I was a kid. When I heard that they were rebooting the universe in favor of a more contemporary universe with an edge I was concerned. I had stuck with them through years of muddled and unclear continuity. Every crisis and crisis tie in, every retcon and unretcon, and some things that just did not flat out work. I was concerned when I heard that everything was going to change. I read Flashpoint which I recommned you read before you pick this up. You dont have to but its the catalyst to how the New 52 began. Flashpoint After reading Justice League Vol. 1: Origin, I am no longer concerned. This is an awesome book and I highly recommend it. This is not your grandfathers Superfriends. This team is going to be a sledgehammer. Superman is very comfortable in his skin. He was always written before as being somewhat conflicted about pleasing humans but not anymore. He is a warrior here and he embraces his power. Wonder Woman is a brawler. Batman is cool. He is the skilled tactician who may be the most powerful member of the group. (Sounds crazy, but think about it Read this story from the old continuity and you will see what I am talking about JLA (Book 7): Tower of Babel) I love Aquaman and Green Lantern is cool but he is kind of obnoxius and relies way too much on the ring. I like this alot. It has been and will be very controversial to purists of the original continuity. It reads like a movie and the visuals from Jim Lee are awesome. If you have ever read Justice League you know that we have been bombarded with various origins of the team. If they ever do a film this is the origin they need to pay attention to. I highly recommend that you pick this up. Its a good story.

One word comes to mind after reading this comic: amazing.This origin seemed like a Green Lantern centered start. He had the most dialogue and seemed the most troubled throughout. Always taking on the tasks others weren't diving head first into. His constant jabs at Batman for being a "superpower-less superhero" which were hilarious at times, were always a great form of entertaining comedic relief . Batman's suit artwork was incredible, and it's the most aesthetic I've seen in all the comics I've read with him in them. The overall artwork and colors are very bright and intriguing and it leaves you with a "happy and uplifted" feeling which New 52 isn't known to do. I don't know a whole lot about Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg, but they definitely did not skimp out on letting us know what their powers were, and I loved learning Cyborg's backstory and how he came to be.Very wonderful origin story for Justice League and having them face one of the comic universes most strongest villains to start out with let's me know these authors aren't messing around with getting down to business with this arc. I can't wait to dive into volume 2, which is right next to me as I type this. See you guys on its review. Until then, enjoy volume 1.

DC’s The New 52 has hit the ground running, splitting the fan base to a degree, but raising the sales overall, which is a good thing for comics. With all the superhero movies doing so well at the theaters these days, the spillover is a blessing in the medium.I have to admit, I wasn’t comfortable with the idea of throwing out all the previous history of my favorite characters, and it took a while for me to come around to sticking my toes in the water. And I also have to admit that I’m enjoying most of the stuff that’s going on. It’s just … different, but some of it (like Aquaman) is amazing.Geoff Johns, long a favorite writer of mine, created the whole concept as I understand it, but left the re-creation of the individual character to the writer/artist teams for the most part. Justice League didn’t arrive in the first wave of DC’s The New 52. DC waited a while to let the reinvented characters make themselves known, which I think was a smart idea.This new origin story for the Justice League is commendable. Like the Gardner F. Fox story that started the original team-up back in Brave & the Bold #28 in the 1950s. The menace then was, like Dardseid in this book, an otherworldly menace and featured pretty much the same characters. Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman were all there, but the Martian Manhunter was replaced by Cyborg in this latest incarnation.I’m not even going to go into what’s been done to the Martian Manhunter in this revamped world. That’s one of the things I’m not particularly happy about. J’onn J’onzz was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. Don’t know why especially, but he was.I like this graphic novel. Lots of action, lots of characters, lots of really good dialogue. Batman and Green Lantern duking it out, then arguing is really cool. Both of those characters are well done. Aquaman, of course, is just freaking amazing, but I was familiar with the character from those graphic novels I read (which is really great stuff and I can’t recommend it enough). Wonder Woman seemed a little thin character-wise, just not developed enough. Flash was pretty much what I remember from Johns’s take on him in Rebirth and Flashpoint, and I was happy with him. Superman is just a cipher, really flat, and Victor Stone (Cyborg) was a sad sack who somehow translated into a sudden genius with all the replaced body parts.I had some problems with some of the story points, like Batman snatching Green Lantern’s ring away at one point (don’t think the ring would allow itself to be stolen – cars have alarms on them, and they’re certainly not as sophisticated), and there was no reason for Batman to reveal his secret identity to GL when he did. Batman has always been the most secret identity conscious of all the heroes in my opinion.Victor’s relationship with his father is just too much of a downer in some respects. If this is what they’d always had between them, Victor would have given up long before now and gone his own way. And the whole curveball of throwing the alien hardware on Victor after his accident just seemed to be too easy. There was no real explanation that carried weight for me, just a, here’s your origin story. I prefer my Cyborg to be more cerebral than Victor seems to be here.But the story comes together in the battle against Darkseid and Apokolips. As I said, I enjoyed the action and the pacing. The book is a good read, but I think it’s best if you read some of the solo adventures of the heroes in this new world before you dive into this one.

Ele é lindo e eu peguei por um preço maravilhoso, bem mais barato que qualquer coisa da Panini. Ainda não comecei a ler mas a qualidade é ótima, agora recomendo ler sentado ou com algum apoio pois é muito pesado, mas muito mesmo.

Este tomo 1/2 es el primero del compilado de JL del New52 que comenzó en el 2011. Excelente Historia y arte desde la primera hoja hasta el final. Cada numero tiene importancia ya que todo es una gran historia que concluye y dará inicio a Rebirth. Muy recomendado.

If you are intrested in a good jumping on point to read Justice League this is the book for you. Well written and Nice art. Book arrived in excellent condition

Per i nuovi e vecchi lettori è un book da avere. Una rinascita da zero delle avventure della Justice League, che si incontrano e uniscono per la prima volta in assoluto per fronteggiare una nuova/vecchia minaccia. Geoff Johns ha riscritto il mondo DC da zero, rispettando il passato, e l'ha reso interessante e leggibile anche per i nuovi lettori. Jim Lee poi è una garanzia di disegni di qualità per storie di questo tipo.
