Summary: Some Brilliant Stuff Here
Review: Storytelling at its best....almost. The part where Flash kicks Zon's butt is amazing, as is Batman's single-handed whipping of the Hyperclan's members. However, some parts of the story are sketchy and vague. eg, there is no real body to the capture of the Flash and GL by the Hyperclan....it just happens.All in all though, this is a good book and definitely worth the read. My only complaint is that Superman spends pretty much the entire story whining...and most of the cool stuff is reserved for Batman. Nevertheless, pick it up if you can.

Summary: A return to the spirit of the ORIGINAL JLA
Review: The first JLA series was great The JL Europe etc. WAS A JOKE! This kicks off with a bang the way the JLA ought to be done!

Summary: A New World Now The Seven Are Back
Review: The magnificent seven: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern, united again to face the dangers too big for one sole superhero to fight. Before this story arc, it's pretty safe to say that the Justice League was in the dumps. Far from its glorious days of yesteryear, it had divided into things like Justice League Task Force and Justice League Europe, stripped of most, if not all its cool characters. None of the heavyweights were on the team until Grant Morrizon decided to inject new life into the series.
They restarted it and this is the first arc.
This is what defines the Justice League nowadays: world threatening danger, each bigger than the last, all put down by the world's mightiest superheros. The first time I read this, it blew my mind. It deals with the appearance of several alien superbeings of incredible goodness, who seem to surpass even our own heroes. But it doesn't take long to see that they are in fact staging an alien invasion. Once again, the heroes band together to form a new league: The Justice League America, JLA. There are limitless nuances to the characters, and this is where I fell in love with Batman. This is truly a guy who could take out Superman. The first in a great series. Don't miss it.

Summary: Kind of a ripoff
Review: The story is great, just not long enough for the price. The art is mediocre. They really should collect about the first five or six volumes to make it worthwhile. Although the story was pretty cool, it wasn't good enough to justify the price and I won't be buying any of the later volumes.

Summary: JLA new world is an example of bad writing!
Review: The story was so unintelligent that it read like a comic book that comes with a happymeal. In other words, cheap promotional ploy. The hyperclan were such crummy enemies that I think Superman could have cleaned all their clocks even without the help of the JLA. Since when did Superman needed help? Flash and Green Lantern's lines were corny efforts at trying make conflicting characters in such a short 4-issue mini-series. It just doesn't work. I'm no English major, but at least I know good story-telling from bad. Grant Morrison should start watching Superfriends cartoons to find out how the real JLA should be like!

Summary: The World's Greatest Super-Heroes are back!
Review: There's a reason why the JLA is the best super-team book of all-time: the icons. Only the JLA lives up to its name of being the 'world's greatest super-heroes'. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are recognizable names world-wide with over six decades of history. The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and even the Martian Manhunter have huge followings of their own and have been around almost as long. The individual status of these heroes is unparalleled and was best described by new GL, Kyle Raynor's comment that fighting side-by-side with the other JLA'ers is 'like playing with the Beatles'. After years of a somewhat successful run with a campy Justice League with second-rate characters, the JLA became a serious and respected book again with this relaunch. Although others will find fault with the art and the storyline, it delivers what it's intended to do: present a world-wide threat that only the combined might of the world's greatest super-heroes can defeat. In this initial story arc from JLA #1-5, the threat is a group of aliens with powers that rival the JLA. While the story is itself plays out well, the interaction between the iconic heroes is what makes this book great as this what has been sorely missed over the past few years. Grant Morrison does a great job of representing what makes each character unique and bringing it to the team concept. An excellent read for any JLA fan!

Summary: A great story to start DC Comics' third "JLA" series ...
Review: This book collects the first four issues of DC Comics' "JLA" regular series. Since it's somewhat expensive to buy those back-issues separately, "JLA: New World Order" as a trade paperback is an affordable alternative. Also, there are brief character biographies as well as a cover gallery. This story starts with the Hyperclan's arrival on Earth. After their homeworld suffered unnatural deterioration, the members of the Hyperclan have searched for other planets, vowing that those planets would not experience the same fate as their own world. Their first act for Earth, the "greening" of the Sahara Desert, is a stark contrast to the typical superhuman fights which the non-superhuman population begins to resent. Through their popular deeds, the Hyperclan gain goodwill at the expense of the native superhuman community. Yet, can the Hyperclan be too good to be true? Grant Morrison's story is packed with action, as well as interesting character! interaction, revealing character traits, and a few issues for the reader to think about. Howard Porter's penciling and John Dell's inking complement the storyline. Pat Garrahy (colorist), Heroic Age (separations), and Ken Lopez (letterer) nicely complete the package. For JLA fans, "JLA: New World Order" is a great story to start the third "JLA" series, with the big guns of the DC universe in one book. Readers who are unfamiliar with the JLA characters should find that the story comfortably (though not entirely, perhaps) explains itself. "JLA: New World Order" would have been rated higher if I hadn't previously read DC Comics' "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" and "Kingdom Come", as well as Marvel Books' "Marvels". I would not hesitate to rate those books with 5 stars. Nevertheless, "JLA: New World Order" is a very good book; I would have given it 4.5 stars if I could. Readers should also check out &qu! ot;Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare".

Summary: JLA the way it was meant to be!
Review: This is the big one! The magnificent seven together again - Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. Now the JLA is truly THE world's greatest superhero team (sorry, but JLA can kick X-Men's butt any day, the same goes for the Avengers, and any Image superhero team). The characterisation is spot on. Superman acts the way I've always imagined him to be - the heroic leader, but one so full of humanity despite his otherworldly origins. The interaction between Flash and Green Lantern is funny, humorous and just plain fun. Martian Manhunter, as portrayed by writer Grant Morrison, is something of an outsider fitting in. And Batman, oh my favourite hero, is captured perfectly as he takes down the entire Hyperclan (invaders from...that would be telling...) all by himself, in a style that is very Batman. Penciller Howard Porter's art style captures the splendour and grandeur, the epic feel of the superheroes and does them justice. By the end of this 4-issue collection, fans will rejoice in the return of THE ONE AND ONLY JLA!

Summary: Chaotic Action Mixed With Frentic Illustrations
Review: What may have been a decent story in a six-issue arc, turns out to be a chaotic mess of art and storytelling when compacted into four issues. These being the first four issues of the new "JLA", I would have thought they would have taken more time in developing the characters, interaction, and story. None of that is here. It's non-stop action without a frame of reference to go by. Imagine taking a handfull of fight scenes. Now put all the panels in a blender and mix them up. Try putting them back together. You have extra pieces? That's ok, squeeze those panels in there somewhere. The reader is only 8 years old and doesn't know better. NOT! A poor beginning. "JLA: Year One" by by Mark Waid was a much better introduction to the JLA.

Summary: not bad
Review: When a new batch of super heroes land on earth they are praised by humans. But the JLA senses danger. Soon the planet is under mind control making them hate JLA. The new guys proves to be even stronger than imagined.
The book is okay but has a few plot holes. And Aquaman uses an incredilbe power that just leaves you asking: "Why doesn't he always use that?".
This book is good but not essential.
