Looks alright. Still not crazy about the new Darkseid look but whatever. The story and art look pretty good.

The art is awesome, but man do I hate the costume re-designs... yes, still.

I have always been a Darkseid fan, but hopefully the story itself does not tank.

I'm diggin' Darkseid's new look, but he reminds me of Apocalypse

You know i'm actually okay with the costume designs

I haven't picked up 1 book of the the new 52 yet, but i get the feeling that i'm gonna rank up some debt getting the trades when they come out! Looks awesome, can't wait! Any dates on the TPB's yet...?

I hope the writing would change because sometimes there is childish bantering in the new justice league.

Costumes still looks like they came straight from the 90s. Not one new different story told (unless you count GLs cutting heads off of people and sex galore new)...

Don't see the point of the DCnU.

@Action sometimes? Dialogue is very juvenile "come at me bro" style...
jeremySee
jeremySee - 1/20/2012, 11:00 AM
@Action...that's because Geoff Johns IS a child lol

I do like the Aquaman series a lot, and I firmly believe Johns is doing some of his best work on that title. But I agree JL is lacking. He doesn't seem too capable of handling a team book all that well.

I love it! Also I dont mind the new Darkseid look at all

At least Superman actually has 'dialogue.' Looking forward to reviewing it.

I am in love with Jim Lee's art, I think I'm a little jealous, I'll never be this good, I hope to get close to that one day.

I am liking this series (only have up to issue 3 though).
I do find some of the writing, particularly for Green Lantern, a bit juvenile.

VZZZEEOOO!

Always wondered how the New 52 omega beam would sound.

Superguy, cause it's a bad 90s looking design. Not even talking about the trunks (if you're calling it panties you have no respect for the history of the character), all those lines, shield shapes everywhere. Screams 90s...

RobinNumbah6 - 1/20/2012, 11:43 AM
Im still not completely pleased that theyre going back to present time after this arc

LOL Aquaman, so useless. Don't you know....you never bring a fish to a land fight

So apparently the chinstrap is the way to go in comics these days. Regardless, loving this series and can't wait for this one. How dare they make us wait an extra week! Jim Lee you teasing bastard...

Looks like AOA Apocalypse minus cape, plus Darkseid head.

DC started strong, but they're headed in the wrong direction. New logo looks like ass too I hope they change their minds before unleashing it.

it's growing on me......... dammit!

tomasocelot - 1/20/2012, 12:02 PM
i have to admit it is growing on me too. i have a strange feeling that 52 isn't done surprising us yet
adamcawa
adamcawa - 1/20/2012, 12:10 PM
yeah... because having logical costumes is so dumb, it's much cooler if they had spandex and underwear on

rolleyes

on a different note, how fast as 52 Barry Allen been shown to be yet? has he tapped into the Speed Force at all? Before 52, Flash could easily outrun an Omega Beam and Superman was shown to actually be able to take multiple Omega beam direct hits and get up. Thank God for the reboot. It makes things so much more interesting. I hope AvX does the same for Marvel.

I see some discrepancies in the images...

So the last panel on this image:
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/22178/justice-league-5-01.jpg

Does not line up with the first panel in this image:
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/22178/justice-league-5-02.jpg

Darkseid is turning his head to the left in the first image to look in Flash's general direction, then the second one he is turning his head to the right to see Flash?? wth?!
