This feels a lot like an early draft of Final Crisis. Morrison does a good job of setting up a big, huge conflict. But the war takes place on a spiritual plane and is never really conveyed to the reader in an identifiable way. It's almost like Morrison wrote, "Assume this is an awesome battle sequence. But it all feels like a sideshow still. Jan 26, Relstuart rated it liked it Shelves: super-hero. Much better than the previous volume here we have a long WWIII JLA story that was ok and an excellent alternate worlds story on an Earth 2 where the JLA are the crime syndicate and Luther is one of the lone good guys trying to save his world. Fascinating idea and decent artwork. Frankly I think more could have been done with it with more philosophical analysis of how society works different when everyone expects corruption and graft and cheating is expected. We have cultures like that right now. How do you deal with that as someone that comes from a society so different? And how do Earth 1's heroes deal with the evil JLA team? The conflict is to short to really get into it. This volume is worth picking up and may be the best of the four deluxe volumes. Aug 27, Alex Hern rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics-graphic-novels. Really three books in one, the main bulk of the book finishes up Morrison's run on JLA proper. It's pretty great, but, like the rest of the run, is let down by Porter's art. To be kind to Porter, it was sort of 'of the time', but even then there were better artists around. Frank Quitely and Ed McGuiness are two of the best artists working today.

Mar 28, Will Cooper rated it it was amazing. Except, this is Grant Morrison, so it's done exceptionally well. Smaller stories lead into bigger ones. Each character matters for everyone. Earth 2 is a really neat story in itself and is a cool introduction to the Crime Syndicate of Amerika. The last 3 issue arc is only good, instead of brilliant, but doesn't detract from the book as a whole. Jan 22, TJ Shelby rated it really liked it Shelves: dc.

Intro by Priest was stiff and turgid. Morrison returns the team to the realm of and meta, but it's starting to feel a little repetitive. Waid's storyline was jarring at first, not going along with the weird of Morrison. It was good, not terribly emotionally convincing, but earnest. The most fun was Morrison's attempt to lasso Sandman into DC - a fun mash-up of two universes, styles and imaginations. I'd like to see more of these crossovers to shake things up a little more.

Writer Christopher Priest leads off the whole book and while the story wasn't bad, I've gotta ask: why were the JLA disbanded at the end of the last volume, only to have them reform at the beginning of this one? Morrison follows this with the story of antagonist Prometheus, who has put together a plan to kill the entire Justice League. This one touched enough on Morrison's usual themes and used superhero action enough to make it enjoyable for me. The Mark Waid portions of the book followed this. Julian September" almost felt like Waid was trying to write using Morrisonian themes. There were time travel and parallel universe plot points that almost felt like Waid was forcing himself to keep up these things simply because he was filling in for Morrison. The "Mystery in Space" story, to me, almost felt like a rehashing of the Prometheus story with just a few altered details. The best part of the whole book by far was when Morrison returns to wrap of the volume with two issues involving The Sandman brought to popularity by master of the medium Neil Gaiman. This story felt the most like Morrison's usual work, without being too forced. All in all, a good solid book, just not jaw- dropping. I'd recommend it to fans of any of the writers who worked on it, fans of superhero comics, and JLA fans. Mar 05, Devero rated it really liked it.

Not to say that Mark Waid is a bad writer, he does an excellent Justice League story. The problem is that you can feel the inconsistency in writing style and structure.

Divided into four stories, the first is about a new villain named Prometheus infiltrating the JLA and trying to kill them all from within. The second is about a scientist who changes the power of probability. JLA VOL. 4 | DC

The threat is so dire that heaven began planning for the new universe with imminent destruction of the current one.

Morrison understood that to test the world's greatest heroes he needed them fighting extinction level threats and he ended his run with his JLA facing the most destructive force the two universes have seen. You know things are bad when you need a host of warrior angels and the combined armies of 16, undersea city-states to bring order to a world gone crazy by the approaching Mageddon. The writer has an obvious fondness for the world's first superhero. Recalling some of his feats include moving the moon by himself and wrestling with an angel, every feat is epic. Now, he's taking on a universe destroyer that eats gods for breakfast and Superman, with his faithful companions can stop it. This is a great collection and it reads like the next few years of Morrison have similar themes. If one could choose only one JLA Deluxe Edition hardcover from the four volumes that were released, you couldn't go wrong picking this one. Mar 03, RG rated it really liked it.

This is everything I love about Morrison's work; it's unique in a way where the bad guy isn't exactly a guy, more of a concept weapon. Which Morrison has done a few times before with other stories, but it never seems to be hashed out or predictable. What a satisfying ending to such an iconic run on this title. I loved how pretty much a piece from every arc comes into play here at this last stand of sorts. That's what I think makes it so impactful that way all the puzzle parts come together. This is the perfect example of why I love this writer so much. If your down for a great Justice League story then you have to treat yourself to this. Even if you haven't read vol I think this is easily accessible. And for the most part it's not too bonkers where people who don't like Morrison are put off. As for me, I'm off to go read Final Crisis again! Nov 15, Rodrigo Tello rated it liked it. Jun 16, Aaron rated it really liked it. A literally stellar ending to one the best superteam comics I've ever read. There's something so satisfying about watching a writer take all the various individual threads from a long run on a comic and weave them together into an explosive final story. After all of the massive stakes Morrison's been dumping on the JLA throughout his run, he somehow manages to make them even larger and more dire in this volume, and the payoff is awe-inspiring. I loved it. Morrison accomplishes this by hitting the A literally stellar ending to one the best superteam comics I've ever read. Morrison accomplishes this by hitting the JLA on multiple fronts this time around. Often they've been faced with a single planetary threat at a time, but this time around, they're faced with multiple planetary threats and and a universal threat simultaneously. It's page-turning stuff, and brings back a lot of my favorite villains from throughout the run, all building to a very cool, ridiculous-in-a-good-way conclusion to Morrison's run. Again, I'm a big fan. Also included in this volume are two other JLA stories from later in Morrison's career. First comes the JLA: Earth 2 graphic novel, which is penciled by Frank Quitely and reads like a well-paced action movie. It's one of Morrison's most straightforward superhero stories though it still involves a parallel earth composed of anti-matter, so it ain't exactly a workplace comedy , but he pays such attention to character and the world-building of the Crime Syndicate of America that you can't help but be drawn in. It definitely feels different from the other two stories, as it's got that late-stage Morrison quality of doing very little to explain itself. I don't often mind that, and find it more invigorating to be dropped into sci-fi superhero nonsense in media res, but with this one, it's a little hard to find your footing for the first half or so. Ed McGuinness's pencils are fantastic and the story moves at a breakneck pace, but it could've used a little more setup to really allow you to get comfortable before Gorilla Grodd starts eating the Ultramarine Corps no spoilers, this happens literally right away. In any case, this book represents an excellent ending and coda to Morrison's JLA work. The whole series reads like a nonstop movie. Highly recommended. Jan 15, Alex E rated it it was amazing. If there was one word to describe this book, its Epic. There are two major story lines in the book, both which are surrounded by smaller one shot issues. I really enjoyed this because the two story lines really run the gamut of what kind of stories can be told with this type of team. This is one of Morrison's largest stories, in terms of scale. All characters from the JLA team return to battle a New Gods weapon, which is basically a massive space Cthulhu with only one thought: turn life into . It also has the ability to bring out the most primal, violent part of people, so the entire population of Earth basically goes nuts, thus: WWIII. The battle is won, but not without casualties. This is the quintessential early Morrison story, as there are many moving parts thrown at you at the beginning of the book. So much so that it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing. But in classic Morrison style, he ties it altogether to bring the story line to a nice, cohesive ending. Really great stuff. To end the book, we get the other type of story you can tell with the JLA. More of a inter-personal, grounded story, it deals with the Batman villain, Ras al Ghul stealing Batman's secret plans for each JLA member detailing how to incapacitate them in case they ever go rogue or are taken over. This is a fantastic Mark Waid story that is very well known in comics circles and deservedly so. We get to view the relationships between each member and we get to see major repercussions as they deal with the elephant in the room which is: can they ever trust Batman again? This is a dense volume, but with a great payoff. With two masters like Grant Morrison and Mark Waid at their best, you cant really go wrong. Highly recommended for anyone that likes the JLA characters or just good comics. Mar 26, George rated it really liked it Shelves: dc-jl , writers- grant-morrison , comicss , artists-howard-porter. Man, this collection is something. World War III - probably the single best Justice League story ever; I don't think much beats this for sheer scale, creativity, and wonder. And then the other big part of this arc is Tower of Babel. Which I don't care enough about to write as much as I did for WWIII, but I'll just say this: it's stupid, shitty, ill-conceived, and resulted in years and years of pisspoor Batman when people took this shit to the most absolutely ridiculous extremes - and for this bullshit to follow up an arc where Batman's love, faith, and trust in Superman is instrumental to the salvation of the world? Fuckin disgusting. If I didn't love WW3 as much as I did, this collection would be getting like a 2 or a 3. I don't have issues on paper and now I read them for the first time. Next: Dc one Million. Prometheus is sort of an evil Batman archetype who beats up on the JLA with a variety of tactical and technical trickery.

As hit or miss as Grant Morrison's writing can be he got what makes the JLA work and tried to create the biggest adventures he could for them, constantly trying to up the larger than life threat level. The results were uneven, but I give him points for effort. Finally this series becomes interesting and fun. There are a number of stories in this volume, and all are entertaining. It sees the introduction of Prometheus, and his dealings with the JLA. The Sandman also turns up, which was unexpected. A good book. Jul 11, Annette McIntyre rated it really liked it.

The groundbreaking series from Grant Morrison that led American comics in a wholly unexpected direction. As depicted in the Villains United: Infinite Crisis Special and the final issue of Infinite Crisis itself, preparations for the defense of Metropolis against an army of organized supervillains required a brief and temporary expansion of the Justice League to its largest roster to date. The main defensive teams of the JLA, JSA, Teen Titans and Outsiders already being occupied elsewhere by the Crisis, it fell on the Oracle and the Martian Manhunter to contact and deputize seemingly every active or once active hero in the DC Universe as Justice League members, effective immediately, to form a last line of defense for the city. The new approach worked, and JLA quickly became DC's best-selling title, a position it enjoyed on and off for several years, as reflected in the following advance sales figures for months in which JLA was DC's best-selling title:.

The threat is so dire that heaven began planning for the new universe with imminent destruction of the current one. Morrison understood that to test the world's greatest heroes he needed them fighting extinction level threats and he ended his run with his JLA facing the most destructive Grant Morrison ends his JLA run with a war to end all wars, appropriately named "World War III. Morrison understood that to test the world's greatest heroes he needed them fighting extinction level threats and he ended his run with his JLA facing the most destructive force the two universes have seen. You know things are bad when you need a host of warrior angels and the combined armies of 16, undersea city-states to bring order to a world gone crazy by the approaching Mageddon. The writer has an obvious fondness for the world's first superhero. Recalling some of his feats include moving the moon by himself and wrestling with an angel, every feat is epic. Now, he's taking on a universe destroyer that eats gods for breakfast and Superman, with his faithful companions can stop it. This is a great collection and it reads like the next few years of Morrison have similar themes. If one could choose only one JLA Deluxe Edition hardcover from the four volumes that were released, you couldn't go wrong picking this one. Mar 03, RG rated it really liked it. Tower of Babel saves the day. Jun 25, Joshua Adam Bain rated it it was amazing. After the last volume failing to grab my attention the same way as the first 2 volumes of Morrison's run had, I was pleasantly at ease when I realised how epic this final volume was going to be. This is everything Morrison and Porter had been working towards and I'm so glad to say they knocked it out of the park. Such an enormous scope that had me unable to put the book down. This is everything I love about Morrison's work; it's unique in a way where the bad g After the last volume failing to grab my attention the same way as the first 2 volumes of Morrison's run had, I was pleasantly at ease when I realised how epic this final volume was going to be. This is everything I love about Morrison's work; it's unique in a way where the bad guy isn't exactly a guy, more of a concept weapon. Which Morrison has done a few times before with other stories, but it never seems to be hashed out or predictable. What a satisfying ending to such an iconic run on this title. I loved how pretty much a piece from every arc comes into play here at this last stand of sorts. That's what I think makes it so impactful that way all the puzzle parts come together. This is the perfect example of why I love this writer so much. If your down for a great Justice League story then you have to treat yourself to this. Even if you haven't read vol I think this is easily accessible. And for the most part it's not too bonkers where people who don't like Morrison are put off. As for me, I'm off to go read Final Crisis again! Nov 15, Rodrigo Tello rated it liked it. Jun 16, Aaron rated it really liked it. A literally stellar ending to one the best superteam comics I've ever read. There's something so satisfying about watching a writer take all the various individual threads from a long run on a comic and weave them together into an explosive final story. After all of the massive stakes Morrison's been dumping on the JLA throughout his run, he somehow manages to make them even larger and more dire in this volume, and the payoff is awe-inspiring. I loved it. Morrison accomplishes this by hitting the A literally stellar ending to one the best superteam comics I've ever read. Morrison accomplishes this by hitting the JLA on multiple fronts this time around. Often they've been faced with a single planetary threat at a time, but this time around, they're faced with multiple planetary threats and and a universal threat simultaneously. It's page-turning stuff, and brings back a lot of my favorite villains from throughout the run, all building to a very cool, ridiculous-in-a-good-way conclusion to Morrison's run. Again, I'm a big fan. Also included in this volume are two other JLA stories from later in Morrison's career. First comes the JLA: Earth 2 graphic novel, which is penciled by Frank Quitely and reads like a well-paced action movie. It's one of Morrison's most straightforward superhero stories though it still involves a parallel earth composed of anti-matter, so it ain't exactly a workplace comedy , but he pays such attention to character and the world-building of the Crime Syndicate of America that you can't help but be drawn in. It definitely feels different from the other two stories, as it's got that late-stage Morrison quality of doing very little to explain itself. I don't often mind that, and find it more invigorating to be dropped into sci-fi superhero nonsense in media res, but with this one, it's a little hard to find your footing for the first half or so. Ed McGuinness's pencils are fantastic and the story moves at a breakneck pace, but it could've used a little more setup to really allow you to get comfortable before Gorilla Grodd starts eating the Ultramarine Corps no spoilers, this happens literally right away. In any case, this book represents an excellent ending and coda to Morrison's JLA work. The whole series reads like a nonstop blockbuster movie. Howard Porter Illustrator ,. John Dell Illustrator. But as old foes create unholy alliances and new enemies attack out of nowhere, Batman realizes that the team must increase its numbers. Joined by such new allies as Plastic Man, Steel, Zauriel, the Huntress, and Oracle, a truly almighty team comprised of super heroes, aliens, gods, and monarchs prepare for battle against any and all threats.

The JLA need a pay raise! Here is my review of JLA Vol. We also get his orig Score: 3. All we know is that the JLA have their work cut out for them. The art was great in this! Clean, consistent, full — probably the best JLA art yet! Maybe this diagram is there just in case any of us win the lottery and want to build our own JLA Watchtower on the moon! Well, this storyline gives us an idea of how this might play out. Shockingly enough, Batman is one of those heroes who vanished. I liked how he was completely omitted from the equation here. I really enjoy seeing twists on classic storylines we know and love. With the odds of the world in flux, we got to see some alternate timelines and fragments of things in the world that are slightly different. It was also nice to see some JLA members step up! Martian Manhunter in particular was given a larger role and was actually interesting for once. And surprisingly, by the end, I ended up sympathizing with Adam Strange. Even though he started off as this crazy lunatic, I felt bad for the lad when it was all said and done. Although there were only some small nods to us folks up north, you take what you can get! What I really enjoyed was the crossover with Sandman! It was a quick crossover and I wanted to see more of him. The next big bad villain — Alien invading Starfish from Space! Speaking of things I liked, I actually liked the lore that was built up for these starfish. Enough said. Each hero he fights is as if the JLA members were taking turns in trying to defeat him. Although the ending was solid, it also felt very lazy. My diagnosis, lazy writing. Again, my diagnosis, lazy writing. His motive is hardly a motive. Oh buddy, so has most of the world. He went down too easily and felt like your typical villain of the week. This story also wrapped up way too quickly and way too easily. Just bring these split photons back together — bingo, bango — the world is saved! It was also a nice surprise to see the , but if he could settle down on that quantum realm stuff that would be grrreat. He just rambles on for a tad too long. He was just written inconsistently. And even his masterplan was too out there for it to have worked. But of course, almost everything worked out in the end. And just for the very fact that these alien starfish were defeated by the JLA once, what makes them think this time would be different…? Conclusion: This was another mixed bag for me. Prometheus was probably my favourite storyline and Adam Strange might have been my least favourite. Thanks for reading! Dec 26, Alex E rated it really liked it. Another solid volume by Grant Morrison and company. This volume has a few stories in it, all good with strong art. But where the book really shines is the Starro story in which Dream of the Endless makes a guest appearance. I loved how he treated the character with reve Another solid volume by Grant Morrison and company. I loved how he treated the character with reverence, to the point of even the character Zauriel, who is a angel from heaven, makes a comment about Daniel and how he is beyond any of them. Its also very cool because it establishes the Sandman story in the DC universe's timeline. I would love to see more stuff like this occur with Grant Morrison writing more of the Endless or maybe Gaiman writing something with Morrison's other characters. Overall a very enjoyable arc with some smart super heroic adventures. Feb 27, Mike rated it liked it. Intro by Priest was stiff and turgid. Morrison returns the team to the realm of weird and meta, but it's starting to feel a little repetitive. Waid's storyline was jarring at first, not going along with the weird of Morrison. It was good, not terribly emotionally convincing, but earnest. The most fun was Morrison's attempt to lasso Sandman into DC - a fun mash-up of two universes, styles and imaginations. I'd like to see more of these crossovers to shake things up a little more.
