Some thoughts about Justice League 3000 #5

The Flash has just been resurrected, it's a shame that the rest of the team is about to die.

Superman and Wonder Woman are being completely defeated by Kali, the Goddess of death and destruction, and just when the end it's about to arrive for both of them, The Flash arrives faster and brings the recently revived Firestorm who might prove to be the most powerful member of the Justice League so far.

Let's discuss the things that worked, First of all, the dialogue is better than ever,

Seriously, the characters talk in a way that expresss their current situation but it doesn't appear like overexposition, it not only works in a pretty natural and hilarious well to tell the story but also explores in great detail the different experiences of each member of the cast so far.

Plus, this issue was simply packed with content, this is one of the densest reads of the week so far. Both Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis work pretty well at delivering a satisfying story in just one issue, in a time where decompression is the common rule, this is greatly appreciated.

However, there's one thing that doesn't work as well, I'm talking about the artwork. Raymund Bermudez and Wayne Faucher replace Howard Porter on art duties and the difference in quality is pretty clear. While these two artists tell the story competently, their style is pretty ugly, especially in comparison to Porter's work.

Nonetheless, the art is not enough to ruin the story and I'm pretty much still on board based on that.
