Customer review of: Justice League of America Vol. 3: The Injustice League

Customer Rating: Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5
Summary: Outright Deceptive
Comment: I'm amazed how lenient some reviewers have been with this offering. Sure, the outstanding art warrants a star and there are a few great moments of dialogue between characters (reminiscent of the classic Len Wein/Dick Dillin books of the 70s or Giffen/DeMattieis/MacGuire books of the 80s) which could be worth a second star but the absolute absence of any significant story makes this volume a mere trifle. And with the main story only occupying some 100 pages of the volume (the remaining pages being filled with a short Red Arrow standalone and the dangling start of a completely different story line, plus numerous black filler pages to keep the left/right orientation in place), this qualifies as an insignificant trifle. I'd guess the reason DC initially released this as a hardcover is that nobody would pay the $20 cover price for a 100-page comic book. And then there's the issue of major characters pictured on the cover who play no role whatsoever in the actual book. Where's Two Face? Where's Scarecrow? Where's Solomon Grundy? Where's Bizarro? Besides dangling right next to the cover logo, he's a no-show inside the actual book. The story conveniently omits the characters that would actually make the confrontation between the two forces intriguing, instead opting for shallow cop outs where heavy hitters such as Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman are taken out with relative ease by villains way below their league. Then major league villains such as Deathstroke simply run away at the start of the big end battle. This is the sort of book that you might take all of 15-20 minutes to read and you'd still regret wasting that time afterwards.

Summary: The Injustice League: Less Than the Sum of Its Parts
Comment: Dwayne McDuffie's run on "Justice League" gets off to a big start, with the Injustice League capturing the Justice League. The last time that Lex Luthor and the Joker teamed up in "Infinite Crisis" they put a bullet in Alexander Luthor's head. Here, though, they're far less vicious--Luthor won't let any of the other villains harm their Justice League foes until they've captured Superman. Most of the villains don't have much dialogue; the Joker, in particular, has only a couple of lines and is pretty inconsequential to the storyline. The entire story is somewhat pointless, and its only novelty is that it is a lead-in to the JLA: Salvation Run (Jla (Justice League of America) (Graphic Novels)) series.

Summary: The superfriends vs. the legion of doom
Comment: Did you like Superfriends? If so, then you will enjoy this. If not then you will want to stay far away. Almost gave it 3 stars but the art is worth an extra star.

Summary: Slightly disappointing
Comment: Dwayne McDuffie, one of the creative minds behind the great Justice League Unlimited animated series, begins his run on Justice League of America with The Injustice League, which is more of an ode to the Superfriends cartoons of old than anything else. Lex Luthor unites the super villains to form The Injustice League, consisting of heavy hitters including Joker, Bizarro, Killer Frost, and more besides; and they start systematically taking on the Justice League. While the idea is fun and enjoyable to a point, the storyarc as a whole just comes off as kind of boring. Not a whole lot happens in these pages, and things sadly don't develop well or go anywhere either. That being said, what saves The Injustice League from being comic fodder is the spectacular artwork from artists like Ed Benes and Mike McKone, whose work make The Injustice League worth checking out for alone. Other than that though, The Injustice League is worth a look for JLA devotees, and can be passed by pretty much everyone else.

Summary: Should've have been titled Justice League Vol 3: Luthor, Joker, Cheetah, and Killer Frost.
Comment: The reason for the 2 stars is because I felt that the book didn't go down as described. Sure it's the Legion of Doom, but most of the members are only there just for the sake of an appearance. They don't talk, or even fight the Justice League at the end. The fights that are in this book are brief and disappointing.

The art work was great in some issues though.

This volume collects 4 issues and two uninspired unrelated stories.
