I like the idea, but why would all these superheros join this group? Why would Martian Manhunter work for the US government? Why is Catwoman? Reasons were given but I didn't buy them. Shoehorned in half of the Trinity War stuff, which would be very confusing if you didn't already read those JL titles. Like the characters, just not in this particular setting. Maybe it will be better next time around?

Waller throws together a group of heroes she thinks can defeat the original Justice League if needed. Okay sure it makes sense, you never know if these "heroes" are gonna get out of control. But it's almost like she WANTS it to happen. And really most of these heroes are B or C level people who have never trained together, so it seems unlikely that they could beat the original Justice League. ALSO some of them are friends with members of the original Justice League.

So it doesn't make a lot of sense, it wasn't terrible, especially with all this really evil, foreboding stuff going on and the heroes seeming to just dig themselves deeper and deeper into a hole.

A great story in the DC storyline. Totally worth your time.

This is my second trip into the New 52 (having been avoiding it where possible 'til now).

World's Most Dangerous holds some promise. The first half of the book deals with putting together a new team as a counterpart to the JL. Vibe, Stargirl, Hawkman, Green Arrow, Catwoman, Katana, Manhunter, Green Lantern and Steve Trevor - some really interesting, oft-overlooked characters. The team dynamic feels a bit more how DC used to produce books - I particularly enjoyed Vibe's role here.

The second half gets dragged down by the chaos of Trinity War which, sadly features a good third of the same pages as this book - feeling a bit cheated in this regard, I have to say.

Overall not bad, but I wish some of the characters had room to breathe and develop a bit more.

It’s half a story presented as a complete run. Halfway through something evidently happens in another book and makes the rest of this incomprehensible.

Let's just say the idea is a while lot better than the execution.I did not care much after the first two issues.

Please see my review of Justice League: Trinity War for my thoughts on this arc, as they're essentially the same book. This volume functions as a Justice League of America-centered prologue chapter, in much the same way that Justice League, Vol. 4: The Grid is a JL-centered look at how that team became involved in the Trinity War.

Meh. Beginning was quite good but there are huge gaps which I guess must belong to another comic series which makes the second half of this difficult to follow.

Why didn't anyone tell me Catwoman is in this??? I completely missed her on the cover!

Still reading but I had to stop and get a screen shot of this:



Seriously cracked me up.

I'm finding The New 52 to be a little more frustrating as of late as we hit some of the side pieces along the way. Justice League of America is essentially a Justice League b-team with a lot of seemingly unnecessary twists and turns to try and keep things interesting along the way, none of which really work from a broad point. When the best part of your arc is when the original Justice League is showing up, it might be a problem with the book. Closer to a 2.5.
