JLA Cry for Justice.

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. 🙁
