I got this out of the Library earlier today as I'd scored a copy of the JLA: Lightning Saga GN which follows on directly from this story. Well, to be perfectly honest it follows on from the last page of this story when Trident is discovered to be from the 30th Century.I've read this book before a couple of years ago and it's ok. It's never going to be the best JLA, Grant Morrison has got those accolades pretty much sewn up, but it's solid enough. It loses focus now and again but Meltzer has a solid grip on the characters and keeps up a nice pace.
The art i big and bold. Very much rooted in the Jim Lee / Todd McFalrane super-artists styles of the early nineties but nice enough. Some of the poses he puts the female characters in are beyond suspect - the Black Canary stabby splash page springs to mind - but on the whole I quite liked it.
Which is pretty much how I felt of the book as a whole.
