Media Reviews

Writer Geoff Johns and artist Jim Lee toss you--and their heroes--into the action from the very start and don't put on the brakes. DC's ber-creative team craft an inviting world for those who are trying out a comic for the first time. Lee's art is stunning. --USA Today

Welcoming to new fans looking to get into superhero comics for the first time and old fans who gave up on the funny-books long ago.... Written by Geoff Johns, with art by the godly Jim Lee, Justice League is a must read. --Complex Magazine

A good jumping-on point for new customers. --Paste Magazine

I don't care that he doesn't have red trunks, and I don't care that his suit has a few pointless lines on it to make it look sort of armorish instead of tightsy. I don't even care that there's no spitcurl, but just an approximation of one. He's still Superman and he's still great. --Crave Online

A great book. --Ain't It Cool News, Five Star Review

A fun ride. --IGN
