Just finished reading this. Wow. A very, very good story. I take back my long-held opinion that Marvel is dark and DC puts out the goody-goody comics…this was a dark, and sad story. And it shows that the DC Universe heroes aren’t all goody two-shoes. Definitely more greater good marvel-style in this story. Makes me want to hunt down the comics that came after this story arc.
Yes, Superman and Wonder Woman will always be “perfect”. Holding up the ideals of truly perfect heroes who will do no wrong, even for the right reasons. But neither is really human so that’s allowed :) But it seems there is a little more Bat in the human members of the JLA and DC universe than I knew…
This (the graphic novel) was published in 2005 (original comic series in 2004.) I’m way late to the table and desperately trying to catch up after a many years lapse in my comic reading. But if you haven’t read this story arc – I recommend it.
