JLA Getting tough to find new things to say about this crashing finale. It’s big. It’s epic. It’s a perfect culmination of the accessible superhero storytelling that has made this run so engaging throughout.

It's the penultimate chapter of Grant Morrison and Howard Porter's run on JLA in as Mageddon looms in the sky and the world teeters on the brink of annihilation. Morrison, Porter, Drew Geraci, Pat Garrahy, Heroic Age, and Ken Lopez pour gasoline on the fire.

"Joss Whedon's JLA sucks"
okay.
"Joss Whedon não faz nada bom faz um tempo"
Fato.
"Joss Whedon nunca fez nada bom em toda sua carreira"

aí falou merda, meu compatriota....

JLA Everything I’ve said about the last few issues in terms of grandiosity and excellent pacing holds true again. It just goes to show the value of having interesting, well-planned ideas under your big set pieces to make them more consequential.

JLA Fantastic issue. I know there’s a lot left to go, but hot damn the finale for this run so far has just been so so well-paced. It’s also just loaded with giant visual superhero moments (punches!). Really enjoying this ending.

Chaos reigns as windows of war open up across the globe and beyond. The Watchtower goes boom. Panic in the streets. Human sacrifice. Dogs & cats living together. Mass hysteria in JLA from Grant Morrison, Howard Porter, John Dell, Pat Garrahy, Heroic Age & Ken Lopez.

A quadrinista Gail Simone assistiu a e amou o filme.

"Eu só conseguia imaginar um grande filme baseado na minha HQ favorita [JLA] acontecendo, e bem, aconteceu. É isso, veja e decida-se. [...] Superou minhas expectativas e sei que não estarei sozinha nisso"

JLA As you can see from the art here, this is a real rumble of an issue, with everyone basically both taking and giving punches. There is a reveal of Mageddon here before we close on Batman prepping to fight Prometheus.

JLA I did not read this issue in the original run for whatever reason, but if I had, I think I would have REALLY liked it when I was 15 or 16. It uses superheroes and philosophy in a way that feels perfect for that age’s thinking. Today? Not as provocative.

JLA This felt a little more disjointed than most issues in this run, coming in between guest writer one-offs. The crux is a prison break story, but in a larger sense it seems to be setting up plot to be paid off in the near future in about three different layers.

JLA Another one-off (sort of) that ties into the concurrently unfolding No Man’s Land story arc. I think it’s a credit to this run that even these event tie-ins largely feel additive to the over-arching story, nice bit of planning and forethought at work there.

This is another somewhat tie-in to the new status of Gotham City in No Man's Land, but also an interesting play on this volume of JLA's own history.

I've never read JLA: Year One, from Waid, Brian Augustyn, Barry Kitson, Garrahy, and Lopez. It was a 12 issue series that ran concurrent with JLA in '98. Maybe I should grab it and read it.

JLA In which Triumph has just about the worst day any foe of the team has had in this run yet. Trying to destroy existence is one thing, but if you let minor grievances spin into an evil revenge plot? Hoo boy, watch out. Lex Luther got kid gloves compared to this.
