4.0 out of 5 stars Two good stories, fantastic artistry, Dec 11 2006

By

Larry Ketchersid "author of Dusk Before the Dawn" (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JLA: American Dreams - VOL 02 (Paperback)

These were originally published as JLA #5-#9.

Unlike the first JLA collection, there are two good story lines in here: the angels, with Zauriel vs. Asmodel with the JLA joining Zauriel; and the Key, using the virtual mind probes on the JLA. Both excellent enemies for the combined might of the JLA.

As I'm reading these, I realize the perils of "collection" stories...there are events that happen to the individuals in their own books that are represented but not explained. For instance, in this one Superman is a being of pure energy, wearing a flouresant blue suit that contains the energy and allows him to use it. Gotta ask my son what's going on to keep up.

Favorite panel: my son and I agree this time: page 7, GL and Flash are playing a GL manufactured Rock'M'Sock'M robots, talking about how scary Batman is and the changes in Superman. These two always provide the humor. But in a different tone, on page 30 and 31, Flash ends up giving advice and counsel to Superman, on being who he is...then he jets back to being Flash.

Also like the entrance of the young Green Arrow.

On to #3!

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD GRANT MORRISON STORY., April 30 2004

By

Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JLA: American Dreams - VOL 02 (Paperback)

This 128 page trade paperback collects issues 5 - 9 of the current JLA series. In this second inexpensive volume collecting Grant Morrison's runaway blockbuster, the JLA encounters several guest-stars. First, a membership drive gives the League their newest member, the mysterious Tomorrow Woman. Then, the JLA meets the angel Zauriel in a battle against the Heavens. And finally, Green Arrow Conner Hawke joins the team just in time to save the League from the villainous Key.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well, I thought it was good, Nov 2 2003

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: JLA: American Dreams - VOL 02 (Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Grant Morrison is getting better...
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. Read more
