"While it doesn't have the distinction of being the first mainstream superhero book I've read (I believe that honor goes to Kingdom Come), I think this is the point where I began to see something genuine in the medium. No matter how much writers try to show us the humanity and the emotion behind their characters, that element always ends up feeling like an afterthought, wedged neatly between the explosions and the silicone. This story isn't that -- for once, their powers can't stop the chaos around them, and their flaws and emotions are allowed to shine."
"This was a gift from a friend way earlier this summer.
I don't know much of the DC universe. I haven't read other comics by them, really. I know of Batman and Superman, but that's about it. I read other comments after I finished this book, and it seems that readers of the DC universe felt some characters were "out of characters" while others liked having lesser characters being brought out front.
This book, though, was an interesting study of morality and the actions people would do to save those they love, or to have those they love close to them. It is very morally ambiguous (at least for me), which I rather liked. I would recommend it for others to read, though it's not one that would automatically pop up if someone asked for recs for graphic novels."
"A long-time Brad Meltzer fan, this was my first graphic novel (that I was actually able to finish). I can't speak for comic book and graphic novel fans, whose standards may very well be extremely different from mine, but I thought this was a very enjoyable read and did a good job of grabbing the attention of the not-so-comic-book-minded like me. An interesting plot--superheroes that we all know and love are being tracked down and killed, and so are their loved ones. The novel goes into flashbacks, descriptions, and narratives of times past, as well as moving the current plot along at an exciting pace but avoids going so fast as to be impossible to follow. I was a little disappointed with the ending, but maybe that was just because I enjoyed the book so much I was sad that it was over."
"I knew nothing at all about this going into it; I found it at the library, mistakenly assumed from the title that it was one of DC's periodic let's-retcon-the-uni/multiverse series, and decided to give it a shot.
It ain't perfect. You need to suspend your disbelief to the breaking point to buy several of the plot developments, including the final explanation. For once, I found that I was pulled along enough to ignore the inconsistent and nonsensical bits, but I wouldn't blame anybody else for not being able to.
Between Sue's death and her rape, women-in-refrigerators would seem to be in play, though one might argue that offing Robin's dad and Captain Boomerang-yes, I think both count-provides gender parity there. Still, it would have been nice had there been a strong, well-rounded, non-insane female character in the book who didn't die in the first chapter. In particular, Zantanna might have been used as more than a plot device.
Still... if you can get past all that, it's an engaging read, the art is excellent, and it adds some nice shades of gray to the goody-goody Justice League."
