Holy crap! I found a “New 52” title that was more than just mediocre. Everything from the writing to the art was amazing about this book. Geoff Johns, who is a veteran writer of so many great DC characters/titles, does a superb job with not only the plot but making the interpersonal relationships between the League members relatable. I truly couldn’t stop reading. I can’t go on enough about Jim Lee’s artwork, but he’s a hero of mine.

This wasn't as fun as the first volume because there was less interplay between characters. But it's still amusing to watch Batman and Green Lantern go at it. The villain himself isn't all that intriguing though his powers are.Johns is setting up Cyborg to be one of the most interesting heroes which is a great twist for the character.There is less Lee which is never good, but Williams fills in admirably.

Finally got to reading this second volume and I gotta say its still just alright. The story wasn't all too crazy however I do think Johns does an amazing job giving all the members of the league their voices. I love the character interactions and dialogue. You also get Jim Lee artwork which like I've mentioned before is amazing however I don't think it's Lee's best. I always feel bad saying that because Jim is one of the greatest but there's just something about this run with Geoff that doesn't get me like his other work in the past. AGAIN, its not bad, I just think I've been spoiled by how hard he was going in earlier in his career with X-men, Wildcats, and his Batman work (All-star and Hush). Also with John's, I don't think his writing is bad but he was doing ALOT back in this era so sometimes things wrap up a little too quick after a longer build up. Fun book all around though!

I have always loved the Justice League, and the reason for such a low rating is that I read the Danish translation, which was really bad. The translation was full of misspellings, bad translation and the dialogue was bad in general. If I ever read this in English I hope it will change my mind, because the story was pretty good and the drawings were amazing, but I just couldn't handle the bad translation.
