Ummm....it seems like a good mini but....

Any thoughts?


Amazing art BTW!!!!!

Art's good, the dialogue is just so stilted and strange sounding. JUSTICE!

Second issue was exponentially better than the first, and I like Robinson, so I'm gonna ride it out and probably decide by the fourth or fifth whether to stick with it.

Looks awesome. Personally I like the Lanterns new killing policy makes it all seem more like a real police force which I like.

Darn it.

I meant to go find that one. I generally just get a mild chuckle out of shortpacked, but I laughed uproariously at that one.

It seems that Robinson has difficulties finding the characters' dialogue and storyline's pace at first but, the more he writes the characters his writing improves (you can see this on his work on Superman especially).

So while I still dislike this series, the 2nd issue was better than the first one (which doesn't say much) but hopefully he'll get his rythm right by the time he starts writing the JLA on-going.

the huntress thing was just icky. even simone didn't like it.

kudoes to hal, though.

I take what I said back.

"That's not nice Ray"
"You're right Freddy. Sorry man."
"She sure is pretty though..."


Ugh

I like the artwork, but the story needs improvement

ugh.

I can't believe someone actually name dropped Freedom Beast.

Man... this issue was just, shockingly, viciously bad.

Robinson SHOULD be better than this, is the problem. I mean, his writing is more or less always extraordinarily heavy-handed and turgid, but generally, his ideas, themes, and plots are excellent.

I’m beginning to wonder if this is some whole symbolic thing about the nature of comic books, like that one storyline where Superman fought the Authority knock-offs. Hal and his team of torture buddies are going to make a terrible mistake because of their actions, and this is going to lead into Robinson’s run on the regular JLA title, which will be all about superheroes and nobility.

Even IF that’s the plan, though, it’s still a little sickening to read this and have no one in the book say a damn thing about it.

Seriously, though... Ray Palmer torturing a dude in the same way his wife killed someone? Cold, man.

And Green Arrow, the "common man liberal" hero of the DCU- one of my favorite characters, and practically the only progressive in the Justice League... is like... "Hal... is this... like, torture, or something?"

Dude normally makes up his mind before he even knows whats going on. Ugh.

Also.... please, please Robinson... stop slaughtering the Guardians of Globe.

That's like... the third time you've down that. And off-panel, at least two of those times, no less!

When I first heard about this book I was extremely interested. Now I can't read over a page of either of the 3 issues without getting a migraine.

And does everyone have to say Justice every single damn page?

Agreed. This series has been a massive disappointment. Only good thing is the gorgeous art.

Cry for Justice is so boring.

Thats how I feel. At least it has good art.

Good art? It sucks

W@W! I totally disagree. I really like this series.

Oh man, that was gold right there. I only read issue 1 and those pages linked to in this topic, but it seems really really bad though. I do agree the art is nice.

Nah, I do like the coloring though

JUSTICE!

What the justice are you talking about?

except for wonder womans lower half in one of those scans.

Apparently, Hal had a threesome with Lady Blackhawk and Huntress.

I mean, good for him.

Still though, it sounds like Robinson is trying to be "mature" and he just comes across sounding like a twelve year old.

Hell, with that ring of his he could have a twentysome.

I like Supergirl's Boobs! Not over stated, just subtle.

Cry for Justice #4 preview.

I..I liked that.

I've liked it all for the most part.

I just think the tone of the story and the tone of the art, while both good, just seem to be slightly off of each-other. They're getting closer as the story progresses though it seems.

I enjoyed the last issue and found it to be a vast improvement over the others.

I liked it, but it's still just around Okay/Good at best. Last time Ollie put three arrows through Prometheus, was about to put one through his skull and started a fight with batman 5 minutes later. Here he's doing a big speech about what heroes are supposed to be?

Also after that happened Ollie was still mad about Prometheus killing a cop by stopping him from being saved by GA. As a result Green Arrow blew up Prometheus and Hush.

I know, doesn't really matter one way or another though. He would still have killed prometheus, and he's now complaining about them being un-hero-like.
