Secret Origins: Featuring the JLA

Rating:
Summary: THESE STORIES NO LONGER EXIST
Review: EVER SINCE THEY DID THE KINGDOM, ALL DC ORIGIN STORIES HAVE BEEN EITHER ALTERED OR MADE a MOOT POINT, and this one is no exception. Well Done DC.

Rating:
Summary: Misleading
Review: So, the book features seven secret origins. One is of the new incarnation of the JLA, and the other six feature the more prominent members of its roster.

Grant Morrison writes the story of the actual JLA, and that's it. Mark Waid writes The Flash's origin story, but the other five are written (poorly) by no name talent.

Morrison and Waid's stories are great, but not enough to warrant spending this much on the book.

Review: While comic books may be looked upon as the equivalent of intellectual cheez-whiz in the Literaty world, very rarely does a work of fiction so entertain as seeing Batman in action does. Of course, this book isn't just about Batman, which is the one major objection I will raise: while the effects, dialogue, and plot are enjoyable, perhaps the writers would have done better to focus on only two or three "super-heroes" at a time. Although the work is nicely done, it feely a bit rushed, and I think stretching the "origins" out over more issues wouldn've alleviated this problem. Anyway, who am I to disagree with DC Comics?
