Summary: You need to know some of the JLA's history
Review: A nonlinear story that can get confusing if you are unaware of the JLA. I thought it was a little hard to follow a times with all of it's "wild" layout.

Summary: Fun and thought-provoking to read ...
Review: DC Comics has packaged the original -- and difficult to find -- three-issue mini-series, 1996's "Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare", into this trade paperback. In addition, there is a brief introduction by Grant Morrison, who writes DC Comics' "JLA" regular series (at the time this review was written) as well as interesting character biographies at the end.For JLA fans, "A Midsummer's Nightmare" is essential reading. For newcomers, this is a good introduction to "JLA" and the unique characters it portrays. While there may be some reservations about this context of this book (i.e. super-heroes, comics, etc.), the content is quite intriguing. The story delves into issues concerning equality and freedom, among others, while it delivers the action and suspense that I would expect from a super-hero comic. That synopsis may sound very vague and general, but that was intentional; I didn't want to reveal too much of the story. ! Readers looking for an in-depth analysis of the issues will not find it in "A Midsummer's Nightmare". Instead, there are subtle questions that seem to linger after reading the story (at least for myself). The art is good, and the story is even better. However, I probably would have given a higher rating if I hadn't previously read DC Comics' "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" and "Kingdom Come", as well as Marvel Books' "Marvels". Needless to say, I find those books to be outstanding, and I am obviously partial to them. Nevertheless, "Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare" is a good book. I would recommend it to casual readers interested in comics as well as people looking for a good story regardless of the format it comes in. Happy reading ...

Summary: It's about what makes a hero a hero.
Review: JLA: A Midsummer's Nightmare starts in a fantasy world, where our seven favorite Justice Leaguers live what perhaps they've all always wanted: normal lives with normal jobs and normal families (imagine what this means to Bruce Wayne, Jonn J'onnz). Blissfully unaware of their supernatures, they slowly realize that not only is the world amiss, but they can and must do something about it - no matter the personal sacrifice. You thought the X-Men's "omnipath" foe the Gamesmaster was powerful!

Summary: It's really "JUSTICE" for all!
Review: JUSTICE LEAGUE: A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHTMARE accomplished what I wanted it to do, re-establish the true core of the Justice League of America. Originally purchased in the mini-series format, it combines the Super Seven against Doctor Destiny to unwrap the loopy world they have been all trapped on. Definitely for the hard-core JLA fan, of which I am. This version of the team is the best one out of the three that have existed so far.

Summary: Heavy on promise...short on delivery
Review: This is one of those stories that starts really well but doesn't end well. The world is full of "normal" people bequethed with super powers and those who should have super powers have no memory of their past. The writing is tight and the story compelling. Why three stars? The adversary to our heroes is poorly thought out--dare I say stupid (stupid origin, stupid powers, stupid motivations). When the master plan was finally revealed I was left thinking THAT's IT! It seemed contrived. It was a perfect buildup to nothing. This was a good concept that failed to be big enough in scope. I would buy it if you are really into the Justice League. There are good moments for all of the cast, but if there are other stories you could buy first--please do. I don't regret buying this as I am a fan of the genre. I'm simply disappointed with where this story might have went.

Summary: Great gift for any childhood fan of Superheroes!
Review: This is the recent reteaming of the original Justice League of America: Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter! The story begins with the heroes unaware of their superhero lives and powers, and everyone else discovering new powers. It takes a look at what the world would be like if everyone had these abilities. The heroes slowly begin to realize something is wrong and investigate it further. The story ends with a warning of some future threat, that urges the heroes to form a new Justice League. This is a great place to rediscover your favorite heroes!

Summary: The League as it should be
Review: With the Midsummer's Nightmare the league is returned to greatness. No more second stringers only the big guns. This book reprints the entire three issue limited series form 1996 the year heroes returned fromt he dark ages. IT is no longer an era of grim and gritty heroes who you are not sure if you should be rooting for. This book shows you that heroes are good and are looking to save the world. A really fun story that captures the imagination with its wide scope and properly using all seven of the Justice Leaguers. After reading this you will know something about each one that you may not have known before. The Justice League is now a group of the most powerful heroes on the planet, they may not always like each other but they can put those differences aside to save the world. I recomend this book to anyone who is a fan of the heroes. Anyone who always said the League is cool but they just aren't breathtaking. Well this book is certainly a start int he right direction not just for the Justice League but comics in general.
