Summary: Morrison Continues His Hot Streak
Review: After beginning the relaunch of DC's greatest team with a bang, Grant Morrison just keeps on rolling as The Magnificent Seven take on no less than the forces of heaven itself! Morrison has captured the fantastic heroes' personalities to a tee. And penciller Howard Porter is nothing short of amazing. Simple lines when needed and detail when appropriate, Porter has a cinematic eye towards page design and panel layout. The action is dynamic and fluid, there is no confusion as to what exactly is happening. Back to Morrison, his strentgh is apparent in the little things he has his superheroes do; such as Flash's instantaneous redesign of the JLA trophy room or the insight into Superman's anxitey. The latter leads to the greatest moment of the book as Flash remarks on Supes' worries about living up to his image: "This is a man worried about living up to the name? He's wrestling an ANGEL!" Spectacular work by all!

Summary: Sweet Dream!
Review: Grant Morrison can pen some cool tales, and while these aren't his best, their are quite good and clever? The three stories (from JLA #5-9) include a new JLA member, a plague of angels and the JLA saving the day... which will give one villain ultimate power.
In the first tale Professor Ivo and T. O. Morrow create the Tomorrow Woman: a superhero to infiltrate the JLA and destroy it. But T. O. Morrow's plan might not be what anyone expects and may save the day. A great tale about personal [word not in vocabulary].
Then the Zauriel, the Angel of love is found on the run from other angels? What do they want and why are they trying to level a city to get it? Only the JLA can stop these evil cherubs but with the arrival of Asmodel all hope seems lost. If that wasn't enough Flash is trapped in a teleport and Superman is stuck on the moon, trying to stop it from crashing into the Earth courtesy of Neuron? How can all of these problems be solved? Within two issues no less?Finally the JLA gets home and prepares for the arrival of Green Arrow when they are all knocked out by the Key. The enlightened madman puts the JLA through mental interpretations of alternate realities. Appearently, when they all figure out it ain't real, the Key will be able to conquer the universe. Only Conner Hawke and his dad's goofy trick arrows can save they day! The story is as strange as it sounds and it's great!
Grant Morrison is obviously having a lot of fun with these stories and finally giving the JLA worthy foes. Check it out!

Summary: Well, I thought it was good
Review: I have to disagree w/ a lot of the negative reviews that have been given to this book. Someone said, Morrison's getting better...better from what, did he stink before? I mean the other JLA story he'd written before was the New World order which was recently picked by Wizard as one of the top JLA must-reads. So, I really don't get the negative reviews. The first story has an amusind audition of potential JLA members, such as Hit Man, Damage etc. but the final pick is Tomorrow Woman who is an android. The next story features the arrival of Zauriel, a fallen angel who is hunted by Asmodel. The dialogue is a bit confusing but the story is good. The final story features the Key and how he is foiled by the new Green Arrow. The Key puts all the JLA in a trance and brings them into an elseworlds scenerio which was very entertaining. The stories are good and the trade is recommended.

Summary: full action, full strength, but too short
Review: lots of fun , lots of action , with little or less to complain about : first story : is about the new pizaro , a lovely woman chapped called "Tomorrow Woman" made by pizaro's maker & another , to destroy the JLA , but with a twist as the machine prove to be alive . the second story : as superman use all his resources to prevent the moon from going out of orbit while the rest fight the king of angles to save he X-Angle azreal the newest super hero of earth . stupid I know , but never the less a full action story . lastly but not least the Mad man who took control of the moon taking offer the JLA with one blow , controlling them with their dreams and with using their resources almost becomes the Master of the universe only to be stopped by the JLA youngest members the green arrow and Flash . really every story of them is wonderful by its own , but the three of them where to short , specially the first one , I really would've liked if Tomorrow Woman was to face the JLA & lose , at least that would be something to see , and that was the missing star in my book

Summary: Not for a first-time reader of JLA
Review: The art is simply beautiful, with fascinating images, but the collection of stories is confusing for a first time reader, as they don't really have any connection to one another. There are certainly some very touching moments in the book. I especially loved the last page, with the subtle interaction between Batman and Superman, but the plots aren't the best that JLA has to offer. If you're a regular fan, then definitely check out the artwork, and the individual moments, but if you're just curious, don't start out with this one.

Summary: Grant Morrison is getting better...
Review: This is Vol. 2 following "JLA: New World Order". Grant Morrison seems to be making a little bit more sense. He still doesn't explain the action and events. We just have to withhold our disbelief and have faith without understanding what is happening. This book contains two stories; one concerning Zauriel the angel and the other concerning a villan named The Key who I think I'm supposed to know, but frankly I can't place. This is not Zauriel as I know him. Here's a quote of his from this book: "...Asmodel? Sure, he'll be back. He'll use flesh-suits next time, I'll probably kill him, there'll be courtoom dramas in Heaven, and in the end none of it matters, so why can't we all just be nice and have babies? That's my pathetic prayer every night before I go to sleep. I can't thank you people enough." Flesh-suits? Courtroom dramas? Be nice and have babies? Is this the way angels speak? And as for The Key... It's short and makes reasonable sense... but Grant Morrison could spend a bit more time on plot, story, and character development... and less time on posteuring.
