Brad Meltzer's monumental run on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA concludes with a cliffhanger! ''Monitor Duty'' provides a glimpse into an ordinary day in the lives of the World's Greatest Super Heroes as the JLA legacy is examined and secrets are unearthed.
Justice League of America #12 was a proper ending to Meltzer's fantastic run on this title. Meltzer reviews all the other various plotlines that he has created during his run and outlines for the reader various plotlines that will be addressed at some point in the future. Meltzer does a great job setting the table and leaving the cupboard full of great plotlines for incoming writer McDuffie to play with. Some writers blow up a title after their run is over and leave the incoming writer with a mess. Meltzer definitely does McDuffie a huge favor by making sure that there are plenty of great storylines in place for McDuffie to flesh out. Read Full Review
Id give Meltzers 13 issues a solid four bullets. Nine or 10 solid issues out of 13 is quite a nice batting average. Come back to comics soon Brad. Ill be patiently waiting. Read Full Review
While this issue is essentially Meltzers way of saying goodbye to his version of the JLA, it is still well-done and supported by the amazing artistic talents of Eric Wight, Ed Benes and Sandra Hope. While Meltzer focused primarily on the character relationships in this series, his successor, Dwayne McDuffie, should no doubt bring some big heroes vs. villains action to the series, but he cannot ignore the relationships and ideas Meltzer has built.

If you want a mediocre issue of a mediocre team book, grab this one up. Otherwise, grab up the next issue of X-Factor and save yourself fifty-one cents. Read Full Review
If those stories are available in trade paperbacks, theyre well worth buying after saving your money from being spent on this current series. Read Full Review
A quiet uneventful departure for Meltzer. Read Full Review
The Roy scenes are my favorite.
