This is not what I was wanting from a mech story. I was hoping for over the top action and spotlight on the mechs. Instead its more of the same "team gets together and fights on how to deal with a threat." The recent marvel mech story was silly and dumb at times but it was also fun. This isn't hitting that right now. I'm not a big fan of the mech designs here either. The art isn't bad, just not what I would have prefered.

DC Mech is a strange series, and this second issue already starts to show the cracks as things start to grate a little as the story falls into some rather annoying tropes.
One of the biggest things that makes this second issue drag is that because this is the first time some of these heroes are coming together in this universe it means that they have to fight each other. Because god forbid we have a team origin story where we don't have the misunderstanding fight. I know it's just the done thing for these kinds of stories, but I'm bored of it. I don't need to see heroes clashing because they don't know if they can work together or not yet.
This issue does introduce us to some cool new mech designs, however. The Green Lantern mech is a transforming jet fighter that turns into a humanoid suit, that has two pilots inside it; Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The suit isn't based on any kind of Oan technology, however, but is instead powered by the Star Heart and Alan Scott's equipment.
There's also Wonder Woman's mech, which is an ancient battle suit that has a Grecian warrior design, covered in gold and wielding a sword and shield. One of the cooler parts of this mech is that where others work along the same lines, with pilots in their seats working controls, Diana is standing inside a special chamber where the maps her movement onto the machine, making it faster and more fluid in combat.
Whilst our heroes fight against each other and do the typical 'I can't trust you even though you're clearly a good guy' type rubbish the villains launch the next stage of their assault on Earth, with Kalibak and the Female Furies attacking a Luthor compound.
The series had a somewhat interesting start, but I'm beginning to feel like perhaps the conceit should have maybe been done as a one-shot rather than a miniseries. Things are already starting to feel a bit stale, and this makes for the second drastic re-imagining of the Justice League where the big villain is Darkseid (the other being Jurassic League).
