Customer review of: Justice League International: Volume 1 (Justice League International)

Customer Rating: Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5
Summary: Okay presentation of GREAT material
Comment: I saw the reviews that said that the paper was inadequate, but still I believed in DC - They put out great books like the Crisis TPBs with nice glossy paper and such. Unfortunately, they decided to be cheap here since the paper is exactly like my old comics (without the smell of age).
BUT, this is still the preeminent run of the Justice League that gave us a Guy Gardner that could be loved yet repulsed by as well as the Justice League Antarctica. This volume was a little more serious than later issues since it was working hard to get more fan appeal during the post Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Overall, if DC would just print this on a slicker paper, it would leap out at readers with the excitement that we felt back in the late 1980's. This is the book series you need to read because you will enjoy it. Give it a shot - you will see Giffen/DeMatteis/MaGuire et al at their peak!

Summary: Very Disappointed
Comment: I was really disappointed in DC's choice to print this $25 hardcover using their matte paper (what they used on the Kirby omnibus series) rather than the standard glossy paper used on the vast majority of hardcovers and trades released today. This paper choice, in my opinion, drains the material of life and I could just pull my back issues to experience this duller appearing format.

The actual stories contained in this book though are classics and hold up well.

Summary: A classic run, but you may already have it.
Comment: If you own the Justice League: A New Beginning TPB, you already have all the stories in this volume - minus a new introduction, a 1987 poster reproduced as a two-page spread, and an encyclopedia entry.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE!!!
Comment: I bought this book with great anticipation, only to discover that the book is printed on DC's infamous "phone book" paper stock instead of the glossy stock that this book deserves and the $25 cover price demands. This is inexcusable! The original TPB collection had better paper stock quality than this hardcover does. Marvel's hardcover collections have far superior paper stock for the price. The Iron Man Demon In A Bottle hardcover, for instance, has as many pages as the JLI HC and the same retail price, but features thick, glossy pages with great ink saturation, as opposed to the poorly printed, cheap, thin garbage that DC is trying to pass off to us fans! Demand more for your money!

Summary: Great story, great team, great book
Comment: This is a great book. The plot and characters are engaging, the levity is not over-done, and the art has a real 80s feel (as in it looks realistic like the old G.I. Joe. cartoon as opposed to the blocky look of Justice League Unlimited).

The book isn't without faults though. Regarding the story, there are a few plot holes. For instance, is Dr. Light in the league at the end of the book? Or is she just slapped on the cover for kicks and giggles?

All in all, it's a good book. I wish it included more Justice League issues, but paying $16 for a hardback 190p. comic isn't bad.



Editorial Reviews:

The Justice League of America is reborn in this hardcover graphic novel collecting classic stories from the late 1980s, as no-nonsense heroes including Batman, Black Canary and Dr. Fate attempt to work with disruptive newcomers Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and the rowdy Guy Gardner Green Lantern. Brought together by master manipulator Maxwell Lord (later the villain of INFINITE CRISIS), this new Justice League must battle evil while facing internal dissension.At the same time, they also must uncover Lords own secret agenda.
