Conway goes out of his way to remind the reader this Justice League isn’t the real Justice League. It’s the eighties Detroit League no one likes.
But then his script presents this team overcoming a lot of odds not just to save the day, but to save the kids on a school trip to visit their headquarters. Just because the Detroit League is a dumb idea, it doesn’t mean the scene-by-scene execution is going to be dumb.
More than any other Retroactive title, in fact, this one has me wanting to check out the old issues. I assume Conway didn’t have the same negative take on the team when he was writing them originally.
All in all, it’s a good issue.
The Ron Randall art isn’t great, but Randall knows how to tell a story.
It’s fine, though way too unnecessarily negative about itself. Conway should have some pride.
Once again, a customer echoed your thoughts about putting reprint credits on the second story. With this seeming to be a missed opportunity, I wonder what little editors do anymore to earn their wages. Are they still actually paid or are they intern positions?
