Justice League #8
Written by James Tynion IV
Art by Mikel Janin and Jeromy Cox
Lettering by Tom Napolitano
Published by DC Comics
Review by Justin Partridge
'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10

Plots thicken and mysteries are deepened in Justice League #8, or what might better be described as Legion of Doom #2. Once again picking up the reins from regular series writer Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV delves back into the psyche of evil as he details a dark palaver between Lex Luthor and the Batman-Who-Laughs, picking up after last issue's dual cliffhangers. Much like the first L.O.D. interlude, this issue fills in some much-needed gaps in Justice League's ongoing serialized narrative, making this detour into evil feel a touch more substantial than the first Luthor-centered issue. But unlike last time, Tynion brings artist Mikel Janin and colorist Jeromy Cox along for the ride, giving this issue a clean, highly defined look and glossy sheen. They say that bad guys have more fun, and if Justice League #8 is any indication, then they were right on the money.

Last month's Justice League brought along with it the end of the first arc surrounding the Totality, but it also brought with it some truly unexpected new cast members, including old-school Starman Will Payton and the calculating Batman Who Laughs, who was revealed to be chained up in a sub-basement of the Legion's headquarters. Justice League #8 wastes little time delving more into just why they have joined the cast, but this being a Legion "episode," it is mainly the latter that gets the most attention.

But that said, James Tynion IV does a good job once again making this issue feel like more than just a mere detour from the main story. Chocked full of clues as to how Will is going to factor into the main story as well as making sure the Batman Who Laughs has a solid narrative reason for being Lex's dangerous confidant, Tynion again fills in some critical gaps in the main story, which is still moving so fast it sometimes forgets to dole out important exposition. Meaning that with the breakneck pace of the action in the main story, certain plot details often go either unnoticed or barely elaborated on. But these Legion interludes, however, move slow enough to let their plot points breathe and come across clearly, filling in gaps that the main story flies over at super speed.

Tynion also smartly uses this detour to set up some crucial bits for the incoming "Drowned Earth" crossover. While Lex and the Batman Who Laughs are doing their best Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham impressions, the consistently wonderful pairing of Cheetah and Black Manta are out in the world getting evil done. Immaculately blocked by artists Mikel Janin and Jeromy Cox, the deadly pair lead a violent assault on a Newfoundland harbor that holds a hidden god. Not only does this scene give two breakout villains a chance to shine beyond the Luthor of it all, but it also displays Tynion's commitment to making these issues truly matter in the scheme of the overall story. The last Doom-centered issue was fun, but a bit slight for my taste, but Justice League #8 avoids that trap simply by keeping its eye on the future.

The above mentioned scene is also a dynamite display of artistic power from Mikel Janin and Jeromy Cox. The pair are really impressive throughout this issue, opening with a concise rendering of Will Payton's new Totality-infused origin and then getting much, much bigger from there. Stepping out of the shadows of Gotham City, Janin's lithe lines and powerful character models really suit the godlike forms of the League and the imposing figures of the Legion. Both qualities are on full display in the issue's opening double-page splash, the Justice League moving against the screaming face of Payton and his missing memories, followed by the villains getting a tightly packed walkthrough of Lex's multiple security measures containing the creepiest Batman from the Dark Multiverse. Couple these splash pages with a gruesome twosome of Cheetah and Black Manta running roughshod over a coastal stronghold, and you have some cracking visuals to compliment Tynion's substantial script.

I was a bit skeptical about these Legion-centric interludes, but I am ready to eat my words after reading Justice League #8. Moving away from fun diversion and into more essential territory, James Tynion IV, Mikel Janin, and Jeromy Cox provide readers a solid look at the future of the warring super-teams and the direction of their incoming stories. The wrong side of the tracks has never looked better than it does than in Justice League #8.

Parte il crossover con Aquaman e questo primo numero...mi è piaciuto.
Blockbusterone, ma...erm...molto più terra-terra...per ora.
L'idea di base è interessante tho e anche le conseguenze, ora si parte con Aquaman!

Justice League #10
Written by Scott Snyder
Art by Francis Manapul
Lettering by Tom Napolitano
Published by DC Comics
Review by Pierce Lydon
'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10

Scott Snyder might be DC's most known commodity at this point, and it's easy to see why. After leading the Justice League through a story that enabled more varied teams to spin out of it, Snyder has to once again establish his title as the main event, and he is absolutely up to the task. The writer allows his big story to spin from a specifically character-focused place (in this case, Aquaman) and then blows it up to Justice League-level proportions. A big part of this success can be attributed to Francis Manapul, who renders the DCU in such a specifically iconic way that even the aspects that he adds feel instantly classic. This may only be the prelude, but "Drowned Earth" already delivers a lot of bang for your buck.

One thing that instantly sticks out in Snyder's Justice League is how he frames the team. They're all split up handling a crisis or investigating something but despite their different missions and goals, they're still communicating and working as a team. By doing this, Snyder is able to expand the cast a little to include heroes like Firestorm and Adam Strange without the book feeling overstuffed. We still get the character dynamics of the main squad, but with some added voices to mix things up a bit. And Snyder gives us a good sense of scope by having the heroes spread out across multiple locations — when something does finally hit, we can see how far-reaching it is.

"Drowned Earth" plays more specifically to Aquaman's history, introducing the ocean gods of other worlds, and that's a kind of classic level of Snyder escalation. If there are ocean gods on other worlds flooding the Earth with their waters, what does that mean for Aquaman's powers? Are there other ocean-based heroes like him on those worlds? And maybe more crucially, are there other ocean-based villains? Finding ways to be additive to the DCU seems to always be one of Snyder's main goals as a writer, and this event looks to be another way that he's doing that.

What can be said about Francis Manapul's work that most readers don't know already? The man is a unique talent who is capable of handling just about any kind of story. This issue is no exception, as Snyder's script takes us from the Arctic to the Banda Sea to space and back again. Manapul's characters are iconic and well-rendered. His shot selection is excellent and his page layouts, especially in double page spreads, are great at leading the eye. The designs for the Triumvirate are weird but still compelling. And his action sequences are exciting and stylish while never sacrificing clarity. That's exactly what you want in books with this many characters and moving pieces. If I have to knock him for something, it's that the coloring can be a bit overindulgent. Certain sequences are a mess of pastels and lighting effects that would benefit from heavier contrast. But on the whole, this is a big budget superhero team book that you expect for an artist with Manapul's pedigree.

It's crucial for DC that Justice League be one of their marquee titles, and Snyder is right at the center of that. Forgive the pun, but "Drowned Earth" isn't looking to tread water, narratively speaking. Snyder is finding new ways to explore characters that he hasn't gotten as much time with in his time with DC and using them as a springboard. Snyder is a well of creativity that is ensuring the future of DC's shared universe by creating events with big stakes, no obvious solutions and, inevitably, lasting consequences. With Manapul backing up his work with stellar visuals, Justice League is the best its been in years.
