4.0 out of 5 stars Some great opponents, too many JLAers, Dec 23 2006

By

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

This review is from: JLA: Strength in Numbers - VOL 04 (Paperback)

These stories were originally published as JLA #16-#23.

The stories begin with Superman, Aquaman and Batman reforming the JLA that was disbanded in the last book. It is never made clear why the JLA was disbanded by the three, and, when it is put back together at the end of the first story in this issue, it is the same characters as before, plus Zauriel, Huntress, Steel and Plastic Man (with Oracle behind the scenes). Maybe they disbanded cause the old rules said they could only have seven? And, not that I'm arguing, but who put Superman, Batman and Aquaman in charge? I guess no Wonder Woman at the top because she died and her place was taken by her mother? Superman says the league is the world's only hope, it may be that they needed to add more talents to defeat upcoming opponents.

The storylines with Prometheus and Julian September are excellent, the last two with Adam Strange and the Sandman less so. Prometheus makes his powers equal to all of the JLAers...but he forgets a couple of new members and interlopers. He escapes so expect to see him in later books. Julian September opens up the world to probabilities and events that are million to one shots begin happening regularly. Both of these are great challenges for the team.

Favorite panels: the pictures of the reformed JLA, pg 24, 52 and 90 are spectacular. And the panel on page 202 with J'onn looking down on the eastern Canada, Great Lakes, Greenland area with the monster in the water is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars STRONG MORRISON STORYLINE, April 30 2004

By

Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JLA: Strength in Numbers - VOL 04 (Paperback)

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. . .each a mighty hero in their own right, possessed of power beyond mortal imagination. But together, united under a common banner, they are the ultimate, world-shaking, gob-smacking dream team - The Justice League of America!

Regardless of what you think about America's need for this superhero thing, JLA is good honest comic book fun. But even here with pretty much the whose who of comic book heroes, the effect that England has had on the genre can't be ignored.Strength in Numbers sees a number of the JLA turning up in Neil Gaiman's Dream.

The acclaimed skills of Grant Morrison and Mark Waid combine to bring you the fourth collection in the JLA graphic novel series. New foes, new members and a new look - this is the biggest and best yet!

Join up with the JLA on this roller-coaster ride of an adventure - meet Prometheus who knows everything there is to know about the JLA - and that means everything - certainly enough to kill each and every one of them. And meet Professor Julian September, a man for whom fortunes have taken a decided turn for the better. Unfortunately, his successes are altering the course of world history, and in his brave new world, there's the distinct probability that the JLA simply never came to be!

4.0 out of 5 stars The JLA reformed and stronger than ever, Nov 2 2003

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: JLA: Strength in Numbers - VOL 04 (Paperback)

Following the disbanding of the JLA in the Rock of Ages, the fathers of JLA decide to reform the team and increase the member number, the new members are Zauriel, Steel, Huntress, Plastic Man. This collection also introduces Prometheus and how he takes out the enitre JLA on their own Moonbase. I thought that this was the best story in the trade. The next story was about the case of Julian September and about how he alters probability and how the most normal occurrences are thereby changed, i.e. Bruce Wayne's parents were never killed etc. The final stories were of Adam Strange (the worst one in the trade). All in all pretty entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best so far...
I've been reading the graphic novels in order, and this is the best so far. Following the awful "JLA: Rock of Ages", "JLA: Srength in Numbers" is comprised of a number of shorter... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The loves of my life.
Let me first preface this review with saying that I am probably the only one who hated Keith Giffen, et al's former version of the JLA. Read more
