This was no quick, superficial cash-in from the great TV series fifteen years ago. Three of the seven narratives - "Must There Be a Martian Manhunter?," "The Moment," and "Local Hero" - were, I believe, outstanding. They were more like perfect short stories. The others were pretty good, too.

Quick read made up of several 'episodes' Clever in many spots, and enjoyable read!

I love the old newspaper feel of this graphic novel. The colors are old school as well. Each story is a little different but with the same outcome of the Justice League saving the day. The personalities of the members of the Justice league make for enjoyable reading as they work together helping each other and all of humanity. Superman the all American superhero, Martian Manhunter with his stoic looks and serious personality, Green Lantern and his powerful ring, Hawkgirl with huge wings and scepter, Flash and his super speed, Wonder Woman with her fighting skills and Batman, the mysterious, dry humor caped crusader......the Justice League.....defender of evil.

Heartfelt stories that use the cartoon heroes to their fullest potential, going further to craft interesting scenarios and emotionally resonant moments than even the animated series. Skewed towards children, but accessible to everyone in a way that most highly lauded Serious and Emotional superhero comics never are.

Surprisingly well-written for a kids' comic. I was also surprised to find a few early Dan Slott stories included, which were some of the best in the collection. Makes me want to read more of Slott's run on both this series and Batman Adventures, which I learned he also co-wrote for several years. There's a real relational/personal element to his stories that I really like.

Uneven but mostly fun with some of the best being done by Dan Slott, Matt Howarth, and John Delaney. Some issues are mostly discard-able, but a few are indispensable.
