Katar Hol gave his life to save his friends and try to create a better future for the child they found. Martian Manhunter knows that they can't continue acting selfishly and so he has decided that if they want to defend the different worlds they will have to work united.
This is probably one of the most on-point team books that I've seen in a while.
Jeff Lemire is a writer with a clear and correct vision for this title since he not only portrays every single character who appears here accurately but also he manages to create a great motivation for them to stay together.
This is pretty much the kind of series that fans have been clamoring for a while and the writer knows it. The group realizes they need to become better than better, there are a lot of charming and funny moments, the interactions between the characters are excellent and this is only the beginning.
Plus, Lemire creates a relationship between Adam and Alanna Strange that makes their dynamic much more similar to the classic one. Nice.
Mike McKone continues in art duties and his works keeps being quite expressive and able to tell story clearly. Marcelo Maiolo's colors make it much more engaging.
Best issue from this series and a great conclusion to this arc. Well done.
Justice League United issue #4 continue the same tone from all previous issue which is light and fun :) Okay now I will list down some things I like and don't like about the issue
ResponderBorrarPro:
- Bromance between Animal Man and Green Arrow continue to be one of the reason this book is so good. Green Arrow and Animal Man is really the new Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. If DC ever decide to do spin off Green Arrow-Animal Man team up book written by Lemire, I will read it
- Stargirl is good and likeable in this issue. The more I read about Stargirl, the more I like her. She definitely deserve her own comics series
- Martian Manhunter is great. He is very good leader and at the same time the good father figure
- I feel sad for Adam Strange. He might not see Alanna in very long time. Due to Zeta Beam problem, He can't see Alanna. He is trap on Rann while Alanna is on Earth
- This book feels like homage to Silver Age era of comics
Cons:
- I don't really like Supergirl personality on this issue
- Miyahbiin power is still confuse me. Thus her power is like Billy Batson ? You say magic word then you get superpower ?
- The art is meh
- Too much dialogue when the scene between Rann and Thanagar council that I just don't care
Overall I give 8.5/10 for this issue and 8/10 for overall story arc. Justice League United Gathering To Protect The Galaxy ! :)
Thanks for your review! It's definitely a pretty fun title.
