Review by Booklist Review

Once DC ushered in the New 52, a reboot of 52 of their major characters, Johns was given the reins of DC's signature team, the Justice League. But once the Superman-led team became wholly preoccupied by a battle with the Atlanteans, a U.S. government body Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans, or ARGUS decided to create its own team, and the Justice League of America (JLA) was born. Johns' JLA comprises some lesser-known superheroes (Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, and Cat Woman, among others), but their battles are no less epic, thanks to Finch's bold outlines and action pieces, though he doesn't shirk more character-driven moments either. The beginning of the volume traces the creation of the new team and their dynamics as a group, but because Johns is at the helm for both Justice League of America and the Justice League, there is a lot of interaction with the Justice League, including several crossover events, such as the Trinity War and Forever Evil. Johns is a big name in the DC universe, and that alone will be a draw.--Spanner, Ben Copyright 2010 Booklist
