will be reading this when i got home, almost paid for the $25 cover just so i didnt have a comic with aquman on the cover : )

I must also say that though no one might agree with me i laughed at GLs crack about Aquaman being a sketch on conan.. I think what mad it funny for me was the fact that he actually had time between stopping alien threats and watching late night tv

@Intruder - Get out the house! Get drunk! Get laid! Do something.....

This might of been my favorite issue. It wasn't perfect but it was definitely epic.

As someone who read Batman in the late 80's and early 90's but grew up mainly in the Marvel stable, I have to say that this is a quality series! In many ways it has been paced like a trade paperback and the benefit of this is that the splits between issues creates a palpable tension. Each of the characters reflects their archetypal, already published tradition, but are fresh and new at the same time. We know Batman is a control freak, but are used to his internal mutterings in his own space and not necessarily his comments as seen as part of an ensemble. Likewise Superman and his stoicism and Green Lantern with his cockiness. I guess I'm just going to be a disappointed when the Lee steps aside and the origin is over. There is every chance that this will then become so hum drum, that the reboot may not have been worth effort. Let's hope that they maintain the standard.

Also, I don't know how Johns is doing it, but he's making Aquaman cool. Weird.

lmao @everyone making fun of intruder. BTW this is an epic storyline.

maybe Aquaman was always cool, but they just never got it right...

This issue was okay but some things are just weird how was Wonder Woman out of all of them able to tell that Cyborg wasn't wearing a suit of armor? If it had been Superman with his X-Ray vision I could understand.

The bling on Aquaman is ridiculous as well, nothing about it says royalty.

Blockbuster dialog??? You have GOT to be 14 years old. There is no way in hell that anyone over the age of 14 actually has conversations like Johns is writing them. Stupid [frick]ing lame ass arogant one liners to try to prove they have a bigger cock than the others. ONE character, maybe. But ALL OF THEM??? Just [frick] right off, Johns. And that's not to mention how every damn team member is just shoehorned into the story, one for every issue. Like they just magically happen to all be facing the same threat SEPARATELY, yet NO ONE ELSE EXCEPT the eventual "Justice League" members is, and they just all happen to be at the right place and at the right time, PRECISELY at the same spot on the entire planet when it happens. [frick] OFF you lazy [frick]ing hack!!! What, next thing you'll tell me is that all this shit is planned for, making Darkseid the one that actually puts the team together "behind the curtains", as if they were [frick]ing chess pawns??? If that happens, i'll never buy another DC book ever again. So far, not only is this the worst book of the entire new 52 but it's also the worst Justice League book in comic history. "The definition of Epic, All-Star and Comic Book"??? What are you, a Power Ranger fan? Come on, i know "to each's own" and all that crap but there has to be a standard put in place. I'm not asking for shakespeare but this book so far is what makes comics look like it's actually made for children.

I still can't get past those HUGE green gloves on Aquaman on that cover. Those things would be a huge encumberance to swimming, especially at the speeds, depths, and lengths to which Aquaman often swims. The gloves would fill with water and be trying to come off with every stroke. I don't demand absolute "realism" in comics, but I do like SOME plausibility.
Tighten up those gloves!

And what's with that long silly chain? Looks like something a fourteen year old 'punk rocker' would wear to hook to his wallet. Again, this thing would encumber Aquaman while he was swimming.

Then we get to the standard cliched no-eyeballs face on Aquaman. It's one thing for a masked character like Batman or Green Lantern not to show their eyeballs- in fact, they'd look MIGHTY silly if they did- but unmasked characters without eyeballs is just SO 1993!

ok i finaly got around to reading it, man do you over score every comic you review. all that happen in this comic was aquaman had some sharks eat some aliens, cyborg finaly put himself together and doomsday came thru a boom gate and didnt say anything, did he look cool? yes. but thats about it

id give it at 7/10 just because of doomsday

superman is coming off as more superboy in the new JL, seems there trying to make everyone in it a hard ass, flash is the only kick back, as he should be, but everyone esle seems to have a stick up there ass

Awesome review bro. Can't wait to read it! :)
