Synopsis- SPOILER ALERT!!! |
|
On a peacekeeping mission
to another planet, Stargirl, Superman and Green Lantern Guy Gardner are
pulled into Apokolips just at the right moment to stop Darkseid's fiendish
new plans. |
|
Continuity Peg- kinda positive |
|
Darkseid is dead for the
most part of the JLU show, from the League's expansion up to the finale
wherein he is reanimated. thus these events could not possibly occur during
the show.
Darkseid mentions having found the answer to the anti-life equation which
occurs in the finale when Lex 'gives' it to him and they go boom. |
|
Continuity References- |
|
The
robot seen in JLUs01e01- Initiation is called Solar Flare here, he is named
Brimstone in other media (DVD bonuses, cards) while he is unnamed in the
show itself. |
|
Continuity Go Bye Bye |
|
Darkseid's outfit is his original,
pre-death outfit. Then again, who's to say he doesn't change. |

Review
|
|
Completely
surpassing my expectations, this issue was a total level up from
the last one. The writer nailed the characterizations of all
three leaguers and Darkseid and his minions. One can sense
Darkseid's code of honor by addressing Guy Gardner as Green
lantern (though it can be assumed that most otherworlders do as
well). Superman's 'bossy' nature to the expanded leaguers, seen
in the show is also seen here. My one complaint is the over
simplified plot with the giant plot devises, I mean Darkseid,
The Anti-Monitor, The Anti-Life Equation, The Source- it just
seems as if any story with these elements would not be resolved
easily and certainly not by these three leaguers alone even with
the assistance of the New Gods. That aside, this is one of the
most enjoyable Justice League reads. Plus, Guy's dialogue
contrasting Darkseid's alone makes it great stuff! |
