Book log 2018 #10 - JLA Earth 2 by Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely
#10) JLA- EARTH 2 by Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely
A fun DC superhero spin, not too long, with some nice use of the main characters, good art, and a decent twist too. Surprisingly short for what Marvel would probably have got a year out of, and I really think it needed to be perhaps half as long again for clarity in some places – or longer if they really wanted to establish a difference in atmospheres between the two worlds. I also hate the outdated “matter Earth and antimatter Earth” canard.
Still, I did love the art, and the story had a good twist towards the end. Oh, but a rushed and therefore somewhat missable resolution. Ah, well. Entertaining, nice to look at, and a nice change of pace in the run of recreational reading so far this year.
