Justice League International #1
Booster Gold, Guy Gardener, Batman (of course Batman) and an
unhealthy level of nostalgia for the previous JLI prompted me to try the new one.
The team's foundation is vague, but hopefully it'll be revisited and some of
the Chinese and Russian stereotypes will simmer down. It's not explained what
The Hall of Justice's history is that makes it so contentious, but that's the
forth central conflict the issue presents while still cracking jokes,
introducing the cast, and doing everything else a first issue should do,
including addressing potential fan outrage. It's just good comics and fits the
reboot. B-
Stormwatch #1
The Engineer looks like she's overcome serious birth
defects, Jack Hawskmoor is Jeremy Piven's doppleganger (which isn't necessarily
a bad thing), there's a guy who's superpower is a sword (which is necessarily a bad thing), Jenny
Quantum is British, there's a pointless fight between Martian Manhunter and
Apollo, Midnighter sucker-punches everyone under a bus, we're introduced to
characters' abilities via dialog amongst characters who then bicker about how
they already knew that, and I'm still not sure why Travis Tritt is in
Stormwatch! It keeps the manic, big-screen vibe of Stormwatch/Authority, plus Giles Savage and Girdle-Woman seem pretty cool. C
Yes, I'm 90% sure that's Travis Tritt. No, I'm not telling you his powers.
