STARRING HEROES FROM THE PRE-FLASHPOINT DCU! Witness the brutality of the battles between worlds as Flashpoint Aquaman proves to the Justice League how far hes willing to go to protect his kingdom.This extra-sized issue includes a sneak peek at whats coming up in the DC Universe!
Add to that the relatively ease with which Zatanna, Jade, and Jessie are caught as well as the humiliating death of Vixen and this book isn't without its warts. But I love the Supergirl in this book. She was the red skirted, bike short wearing, muscle of the team! That alone lifts this book up a couple of notches. Read Full Review
Frank Tieri is back with the second part of this Convergence: Justice League story. One of the best things about this issue is that Tieri wastes no time in diving into some fun under-the-sea action. However, the most interesting element revolves around how the Convergence event is forcing the hands of some of our heroes. That said, Tieri has our heroes treat each other in uncharacteristically rude ways. While artist Vicente Cifuentes is credited here for depicting the action sequences well, the art unfortunately goes a bit far in exploiting the forms of our female heroes. Read Full Review
Ultimately, though, you're really not reading a comic like Convergence: Justice League #2 for anything other than the fireworks. This event, which has felt more than a little stitched together, is all about fan service rather than deep storytelling or characterization, and after awhile, it gets a little old blaming a book for being anything other than what it is. This book is an action book, and while sometimes it osscilates between bright and peppy to something altogether darker. Still, for a series with such retro sensibilities, the expansive cast and fun artwork makes this a fun read. Read Full Review
I was really looking forward to this issue and man am I disappointed. The story was just a mess and where I expected a bunch of fighting to take place because of the nature of this event, we got our heroes vs. marine life instead of the fight we really wanted to see between the women of the Justice League and Flashpoint Aquaman. Very anticlimactic and it just seriously left me wanting more. Thank jeebus that the art was amazing or this might not have any redeeming qualities. Read Full Review
Not bad, but quite disposable, I'm sorry to say.
