Justice League, Vol. 1: Origin by Geoff Johns

Fairly standard super-hero team formation. Members fight until something bigger and badder comes along to join them in a common enemy. The action and art are great and the storyline was decent until the last issue. The last issue is where [a:Geoff Johns|10305|Geoff Johns|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1235508544p2/10305.jpg] really pulls you in by adding the perspective of a normal man who watched the Justice League's most recent battle. Will definitely keep me reading

Oh I loved this. It was super fun the entire way through. The art is beautiful. I really liked the characterization.

Great artistic detail but story lacks substance

This is really my first foray into the Justice League as I have mostly stuck with Bat man family of comics. I appreciated the detailed depictions but really felt like the story was boring and pretty shallow.

I enjoyed this. I wanted to read this after I found out it was the source material for the movie Justice League: War. I liked this better than the movie (but the movie was good) just because I liked the flow a little better. I LOVE the artwork. For anyone else who is just getting into comics, I imagine it's nice to have more backstory covered before getting into Justice League, but I don't think it's entirely necessary. Just having a basic knowledge of the characters should be good enough. I'm new to comic books, so people with more experience on the topic may have differing and more educated opinions, but for what it's worth I think this is a good read.

This is a popcorn flick of a superhero book. It's not a spectacular story, but it sure looks pretty doing what it does. I was not a huge fan of this New 52 relaunch when DC did it. Still, this is fun if you just want big superhero action without having to think. Total escapism, nothing more.

Holy action Batman! It was non stop fighting. I wish there had been sometime to breathe. And that some of the character developed could have happened between epic fight scenes.

I did enjoy the cattiness between Batman and Green Lantern though.
