However, the League is always best when it's about relationships, not pounding and I look forward to the former. Yes, previous League books have gone too far in the other direction, whether it was Brad Meltzer's interminable fantasy draft or Gerry Conway's dalliances in Detroit. And speaking of "later on," here's hoping Johns and Lee realize they don't have to go all widescreen every issue just because it's the Justice League.
Perhaps its existence will be justified later on.
Although I understand why it was in the book, the "OMG SUPRHEROZ" lionizing at the end was a bit much, and the whole book-excerpt element felt redundant at best. It had a few significant beats which felt pulled from other fondly-remembered Justice League stories, including Superman tortured by nigh-omnipotent beings (like in the Morrison/Porter JLA #4), Superman going full-out on Darkseid (recalling the final episode of "Justice League Unlimited"), and the inelegant dogpile-on-bad-guy style of super-scrum Johns used in Infinite Crisis and "The Sinestro Corps War." Ultimately there was a bit of strategy involved, and even a little pep talk from Batman, to liven things up. Someday soon I will sit down with the six issues of Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's Justice League, but for now issue #6 was a decent end to the book's first storyline.
