Justice League #1 | Comic Book Review

DC's massive relaunch The New 52 begins with Justice League #1 - is it the perfect time to get into comics?

DC Comics rocked the publishing world when it announced an entire, universe-wide reboot of their whole comics line and an unprecedented date-and-date release of digital versions of their issues on iOS alongside the physical comics. The first major release of the new initiative is Justice League #1, with the superstar creative team of Geoff Johns and Jim Lee. Alex, Dan, and Jeff check out the new issue to find out if it really does make a great new starting point for new fans, and discuss the implications of online distribution for comics.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for our review of the game Rock of Ages!

Pirating is going to come back and bite DC if they continue to charge $4 for day and date releases. For a dollar, I'd buy everything day and date. That's a dollar more than they'd get if I just found the .cbr file.

52 issues.

So, its February now. I guess you guys have figured out that this is NOT a reboot. It's a relaunch. After another stupid (but good) event, the DC universe went through MINOR changes. Batman and co. and Green Lantern aren't being rebooted, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Aquaman are going through MINOR changes and everyone else are kind of in the same boat.

These are like Marvel's point ones and less like Marvel's Ultimates.

People need to chill

DIDIO, I'LL GET A SUPERBOY-PRIME COSTUME, COME TO THE DC HEADQUARTERS AND DO EXACTLY TO YOU ASSHOLES WHAT PRIME DID IN BLACKEST NIGHT ADVENTURE COMICS NO. 5 !!!!!!!!! I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH!!! That relaunch is the most stupid thing DC ever did to his previous icons...YOU'RE DESTROYING THEM! ..or maybe you are finally admitting that everything after Crisis Of Infinite Earths until now was BULLSHIT! But now, you are even making everything WORSE!! Bring Elliot S! Maggin and Julius Schwartz back!

Anyone else notice the purple cloak lady that's in every #1 issue?

I think it would hurt comics and then not make it possible to get me in front of a couple indie comics.

@Danielrh905 Too late ;)

This was an interesting alternative to the other comic book show that I like. I have to say this made me think about downloadable comics. They are too expensive in most cases and unlike the paper backs are worth jack. Anyway, after reading a few on the ipad, I have to add that I prefer paper. There is just something about it that makes it a bit more special and endearing, especially if you know how to read and write.

I thought this was going to be news on the comic Justice League. After 5min I left.
