Some thoughts about Justice League of America #8

 The Justice League is gone but what exactly happened to them?

Martian Manhunter and Stargirl are apparently the only survivors from the Trinity War but something is wrong, a confused Jason Rusch has contacted them to save the rest of the members from the differents Justice Leagues from a prison that is especially designed for them except that it might not be what it seems.

This is the first part of a five-issue arc on Justice League of America written by Matt Kindt and I must say that is pretty intriguing story so far. Kindt introduce us to a strange prison that supposedly holds the rest of the heroes and presents different and distinctive methods to incarcerate them, not based on their powers but on their personalities and minds (Superman wanting to go back in time by making earth go backwards, The Flash being trapped on his own hyperactive imagination, awesome), it's a quite interesting premise that makes you want to know more about how the plot will develope and how this strange world works.

There are a few problems though, at times Kindt's narration can get a bit awkward, some of the lines might not be the most natural especially Stargirl's dialogue that mades her sound like a stereotypical teenage girl at times. Still, this fortunately doesn't ruin the story.

Doug Mahnke is once again on art duties and his work keeps being pretty inspired, his characters look beautiful and his storytelling abilities are top-notch.

Pretty good and promising issue, let's see where it goes.
