This is a cool new series from DC based on the Sony Online Entertainment game. Written by Marv Wolfman & Tony Bedard. Great artwork! Only 3 issues so far and I just got these from my local comic shop. I lucked out that he still had a #1 left. I plan on reading all 3 issues this weekend.
I forgot to mention that this series is going to be 26 issues released twice a month.
New issue came out Wednesday!!
Nice cover art. What are your thoughts on the comic so far?
Very nice cover art and the comics have great art through out. I'll admit I'm not caught up with the current Justice League of America comic so I don't know if they are supposed to tie in together or not. I did find a very short article about this series on Wiki. [spoiler]I like the character selection and the way it came about. Power Girl, Solomon Grundy, Lex Luthor, Mr Freeze, The Atom and others. Just a good mixture of characters. There are a couple of characters I'm not familar with that may be from the game itself. One is named August General. Great story by Marv Wolfman and Tony Bedard![/spoiler] I would like to play this game but it would never play on my pc.
Here is a link for that article.

Still enjoying this series. Awesome cliffhanger in issue 5!! Haven't read 6 yet but will have plenty of time to catch up on my reading and tv shows since I'm on vacation this week.
Will, is this series set in another "DC alternate" universe or does it fit in with the main universe?
I'm not reading the current Justice League of America series but basing it on what has happened in the series it must be an Alternate universe. The more I think about it it has to be an alternate universe. Did read #6 and it was awesome! A 9 out of 10! Issue #5 was a 10!
Just read #7 yesterday and have to say my least favorite so far of the series. I believe this issue did use some characters created on the game but thats not why I didn't enjoy it as much. Of course every issue can't be great. I also didn't care for the cover of this issue. Oh, well there's always issue #8.
Also picked this up today at the comic shop. Haven't read it yet. Kinda of a gross cover. I hope I don't offend anyone by posting it.
Issue 8 was way better than 7. Been a really good series so far.
New issue #9 from Wed. Very good issue with another great cover and story! Really liked this one. [spoiler]Green Lantern is in this one, surprise! Also Superman is POed!!![/spoiler]
Guess who makes a cover appearance, besides the ad on top of course. Green Lantern makes the cover again since issue 1. There has been great cover art on just about every issue of this series! The cover on this issue was by Ed Benes & Jorge Gonzalez.
Nice story in issue 10. Sometimes these can jump around in their time periods but this one pretty much stayed with the same one.
Very good issue again a 9 out of 10. Another great cover and a story invoving mostly Superman and Lex Luthor. Has anyone else been checking out this series?? Here is a pic of the lastest issue.
It would be cool if they took some of the player characters from the online game and featured them in this comic, maybe through contests or rewards for taking down the top raid bosses or something. It would be an amazing way to spur some interest in the game which probably suffered tremendously during the Sony network downtime last month.
That would be cool. If they have done it I don't know because I don't know every DC Character. But the last issue did have some new characters in it but don't know if they came from the game.
Here is the latest issue #12. Cover is not as cool as some of the others. Also story not as strong in this. I give it a 7. Nice ad inside about the upcoming new Justice League series. Two pages with the new Justice League lineup. Here's the pic.
The latest 2 issues in this series were really good. Issue #13 I rate a 9 and issue #14 a 10! Awesome cliffhanger in issue #14. Firestorm and Captain Marvel show up in these last 2 issues. Tony Bedard wrote issue #14 and they seem to go back and forth on the writing. Issue #13 was written by Marv Wolfman. Love the cover art on these issues as well. Here is the pic of the issues.
#15 got delayed with the New 52 releases but it finally came out this past Wed. Really great cover to this issue by Mike Miller & Luis Gonzalez. If you want somebody mad at you it probably shouldn't be Superman!!
Great issue which I give a rating of 10!
This issue came out last week and the storyline has changed focus from the Justice League to the Green Lantern Corps covering the Sinestro Corps War. They did just come out with an expansion for the game based on the Sinestro Corps.
I rate this one a 9. Great cover by Doug Mahnke & Randy Mayor. And a new writer started in this issue, Tom Taylor. Check out the pic of issue #16!!
Another really good issue of this series. And another great cover. This I rated a 9!
Picked this up on Friday night along with Star Trek #3. And I found out that Friday night is not the best night to go to the comic shop. They were having "Magic" night or something and it was packed!
This issue gets back Marv Wolfman as writer ending the 2 part Brainiac Sinestro Core War books. Haven't read it yet but it does have a great cover by Howard Porter, Livesay & Antonio Fabela.
#18 was another good one. I rate it an 8. Picked up #19 just a short time ago. Haven't read it but it looks like its going to a good one!
A nice cover on this one by Mike S. Miller & Randy Mayor.
#19 was a good one and it gets a 9. Really good story. This is only supposed to go to 26 issues so it looks like next issue they get back to the timeframe of the earlier issues. Can't wait to read them.
Just read issue 20. Not as good as some of the others but I still rate it a 7.
Issue #21 gets a strong rating from me of a 9. Another great story from Marv Wolfman. And judging from the cover it doesn't seem like a fair fight. This series only has a few more issues #26 being the last.
Here are the last 2 issues of this series. I haven't read either of these yet. This series has had great cover art and it continued with these 2 issues. Only 3 issues left.
A really cool cover on issue #25!! I decided to wait and read the rest of the series after i get the last issue. This has been a really good series throughout and it is worth a pick up of the graghic novels if you have the chance too.
OK, the final issue has arrived. I picked this up Wed. at the comic shop and will be reading this starting with issue 22. As I mentioned in an earlier post I wanted to read the last few issues together. Looking foward to see how they end this series. And from the looks of the cover, Supes, looks pretty mad. Please tell me why would you make Superman mad, WHY! If he didn't have strong morals he could pulverize you! Check this out!
