James Robinson’s Cry For Justice preview!
(4 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)I’m really looking forward to this book. It makes sense that Green Lantern would not take the recent losses during Final Crisis well and put together a more proactive team. The line-up is a bit odd (c’mon you can’t tell me you weren’t a bit surprised to see Congorilla, the bisexual blue Starman and Batwoman on the team). I’m all for it – we certainly need more heroic inclusion and we’ve never had 2 openly LGBT characters on a JLA team before. Previously we’d seen some cover art and a few random pages, but Newsarama showed us some real penciled pages from the book which is due in July.
What brings a team together? Justice! Batman and Martian Manhunter have been slaughtered. But he’s not the only hero to fall at the hands of villains. The murder has to stop, and it’s time to take the fight to the bad guys! Heroes have fallen and Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Supergirl, Batwoman, Atom, Shazam, Congorilla (REALLY?) and Starman unite in a cry for justice!

This 6-part miniseries from James Robinson (STARMAN, SUPERMAN) and rising star artist Mauro Cascioli (TRIALS OF SHAZAM) pushes our heroes to the brink and beyond as evil can no longer be tolerated to win. But when Prometheus plans his revenge on not only the heroes, but on the very places they call home, will this new team be ready to pay the cost for the justice they seek? This time it’s personal – and it’ll only get more bloody before it’s over!
I WILL be interested to see what events unfold that result in this disparate group pulling together. I’m also curious how it is going to impact the main JLA title – especially now that it seems to be floundering as a supposedly flagship title that has been reduced to something that TRIES to tell a story or two in between crossovers.

This looks good and I hope it is. JLA lately has been so so. They need to do something to really excite me with the series. This might be it.
